Summary

Today’s Headlines: President Biden issued a "full and unconditional" pardon for his son Hunter, calling the charges politically motivated. Over on the Trump side, the president-elect announced some eyebrow-raising family appointments: Jared Kushner’s dad is set to be ambassador to France, and Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law will advise on Middle East affairs. Trump also tapped Kash Patel for FBI Director and as for Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense—an old letter from Hegseth’s mom resurfaced, calling him out for mistreating women. On the international front, Russia had a rough weekend. Opposition forces took Aleppo in Syria, sparking Russian airstrikes, and protests broke out in Georgia after the government froze EU membership talks. Meanwhile, Putin praised Trump as “intelligent” and criticized Biden, adding to the chaos. Australia is making waves with a new law banning kids under 16 from social media, but no one’s sure how it’ll actually work. And finally, Diddy was denied bail yet again, with the judge saying he’s a danger to the community.
