Summary

Today’s Headlines: The post-Thanksgiving news cycle kicked off with criticism from both parties over President Biden's controversial pardon of his son, Hunter—a move that left a few from both sides of the isle irate. Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress are reshuffling leadership roles, with Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker rising in the Senate and Jamie Raskin challenging Jerry Nadler for House Judiciary Committee chair. Elsewhere, Elon Musk faced a legal setback as a Delaware judge upheld a ruling against his $56 billion Tesla pay package. Finally, Oxford’s Word of the Year, "brain rot," perfectly captures the online content fatigue of 2024.
