Summary

Today’s Headlines: FBI Director Christopher Wray announced plans to resign at the end of President Biden's term, leaving Trump’s nominee Kash Patel poised to take over if confirmed. Trump also plans to revoke ICE arrest restrictions at schools, churches, and hospitals on day one of his next term, according to NBC News. Inflation data for November showed a 2.7% rise in the consumer price index, with core inflation up 3.3%, sparking speculation on the Fed's next move. Meanwhile, drone sightings over New Jersey led to claims of an "Iranian mothership," which the Pentagon denied. In Congress, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema blocked Biden’s NLRB nominee, paving the way for a Trump pick. Elsewhere, a bankruptcy judge rejected The Onion’s bid to purchase Alex Jones’s Infowars, citing transparency concerns.
