Government Spending Deadline Approaching in Congress

Maye Musk, Elon's mother, discusses wasteful government spending and Adam Schiff blaming Democrats for Harris' loss. Congress faces a deadline to approve government spending past Dec. 20. Schumer and McConnell failed to pass FISA renewal last year. Republicans prefer a short-term stopgap spending bill. Democrats may push for an omnibus bill. If no action is taken by Dec. 20, the government will face a partial shutdown.

US House passing a bill and FISA renewal

The US House passed a bill requiring TikTok to divest from ByteDance or face a ban. There was a contentious issue over renewing Section 702 of FISA. Rep. Warren Davidson criticized the decision as infringing on privacy rights. The bill is expected to be voted on separately from Davidson's amendment.
