A 43-year-old man has been charged with threatening to use explosives and destruction of an energy facility after making hate-fueled threats against businesses for their perceived support of Israel. The threats were made in the context of rising incidents of hate against Jews, Muslims, Arabs, Palestinians, and Israelis in the U.S. since Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7. The man was arrested and FBI Director Christopher Wray said he had attacked a power facility and threatened local businesses, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said the defendant's actions were motivated in part by a desire to target businesses for their perceived support of Israel.

Trump Wants One Big Bill for His Priorities via Budget Reconciliation

politicstrumpborder securityenergybudget reconciliationtax cuts

President-elect Donald Trump wants Congress to pass one sweeping bill full of his priorities through the budget reconciliation process, according to newly reelected Speaker Mike Johnson. Trump's plan includes tax cuts, border security, and energy, and he wants to pass 'one big, beautiful bill.' But the House Freedom Caucus has endorsed a two-step plan, which could stand in the way of Trump's desires. Legislation passed via budget reconciliation would need consensus among House Republicans, and the razor-thin GOP majority in the House means a reconciliation package will also be a major challenge to pass. Trump's plan would put the GOP caucus to the test, as they can only have one GOP defection if all members of the House are present.
