Farm groups and lawmakers from rural states had been pushing hard for this assistance, especially with farmers needing to cover seeds, fertilizer, and other costs for next year's planting season. | Meanwhile, the Supreme Court spent Monday hearing arguments in a case that could radically reshape executive power. Conservative justices signal they may let Trump fire a Federal Trade Commission member without cause and potentially overturn a 90-year-old precedent protecting independent agencies. Trump could potentially have several big SCOTUS wins very soon. | Check out all the latest developments and more below! | | | | | ⚖️ Trump Poised for Supreme Court Win
The Supreme Court's conservative majority signaled it may allow President Trump to fire Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter without cause, potentially overturning the 1935 Humphrey's Executor precedent that protects independent agency heads. During nearly three hours of arguments, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer called the 90-year-old precedent an "indefensible outlier" and argued that FTC authorities have vastly expanded since the original ruling. Liberal justices expressed concern that eliminating protections could fundamentally alter government structure and create a slippery slope affecting other federal agencies, but conservative justices appeared ready to grant the president broader removal powers. The case is one of four separation-of-powers disputes the Court agreed to hear this term, with a decision expected by June. | 💸 Trump Takes Affordability Message on the Road
President Trump heads to Pennsylvania for a campaign-style rally as he pushes his message that he's cutting inflation and fixing Joe Biden's economic mess, acknowledging an affordability "problem" after previously dismissing it. The 79-year-old will speak at the Mount Airy Casino resort in Pocono on Tuesday, marking his return to the rallies that brought him a second White House term. The issue has created tension within the MAGA movement, with former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizing Trump for not focusing enough on domestic policy over foreign peace deals. Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles plans to put him on the campaign trail throughout 2026 for the midterm elections, breaking from past traditions where parties kept unpopular incumbent presidents at a distance. | 💬 Trump Blasts CBS Over Greene Interview
President Trump unloaded on CBS and "60 Minutes" after Lesley Stahl's interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom Trump has called a traitor during their recent feud, insisting the network's new ownership under Paramount CEO David Ellison is "no better" than the previous regime. Trump demanded a complete apology from Stahl over her 2020 dismissal of his claims about Hunter Biden's laptop, which was later verified as authentic. The president attacked Greene for making "really stupid statements" during the interview and being "very poorly prepared," while criticizing CBS for settling his $20 billion election interference lawsuit for $16 million earlier this year. Trump's criticism came the same morning that Ellison launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, with Paramount touting regulatory certainty as a key advantage of its proposed acquisition. | 🤖 Trump to Sign Executive Order on AI
President Trump announced he will sign an executive order creating "one rulebook" for artificial intelligence development that would override state-level AI regulations and approvals. Trump declared on Truth Social that there must be only one rulebook for the U.S. to continue leading in AI, warning that America won't maintain its edge if 50 states remain involved in rules and approval processes. The initiative has divided Republicans who traditionally support states' rights, with former Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene arguing that states must retain the right to regulate AI, while state lawmakers across the political spectrum warned that federal preemption risks sweeping aside careful protections for consumers, patients, artists and creators. Trump has maintained close ties with AI and tech leaders since taking office, previously signing orders to remove barriers to AI innovation and launching an AI "Genesis Mission" that he compared to the Manhattan Project. |

| | | | | | 🔔 Trump Delivers Lifeline to American Farmers 🔔 | President Trump announced a $12 billion farm aid package to provide crucial support for farmers struggling amid his administration's trade reset with China. The funding will flow through the Department of Agriculture's new Farmer Bridge Assistance Program, with up to $11 billion going to row crop farmers through single payments and $1 billion reserved for farmers whose crops don't qualify for the main program. | Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins joined Trump at a White House roundtable where the president emphasized that the money comes from tariff revenue. Rollins confirmed that farmers will know their exact payment amounts by the end of the month, giving them certainty as they work with lenders and plan next year's crops. | The timing comes as U.S.-China trade negotiations have significantly impacted American agriculture, with China previously cutting back soybean purchases during tense tariff discussions. Following Trump's October meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea, where the president agreed to reduce tariffs from 57% to 47% in exchange for China's cooperation on fentanyl, Beijing has started boosting soybean purchases again. | China purchased at least 840,000 metric tons of soybeans in November for December and January delivery, marking the largest shipment since January. Bessent confirmed that China is on track to meet its commitment to buy 12 million tons of soybeans by the end of February 2026. | China remains the primary foreign purchaser of U.S. soybeans, buying approximately half of all U.S. soybean exports worth $12.6 billion out of $25.8 billion in total exports in 2024. The aid package recognizes that soybeans and sorghum took the hardest hit from the trade dispute, since more than half of those crops are exported annually with most going to China. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly explained that Trump is helping the agriculture industry by negotiating new trade deals to open export markets and boosting the farm safety net for the first time in a decade. | Farmers appreciate the assistance but acknowledge the challenges ahead, with some noting that $12 billion represents roughly the value of total U.S. soybean exports to China in 2024 and half the total value of U.S. farm goods exported to China that year. The aid serves as what Bessent called a "liquidity bridge" during a period of adjustment, supporting what he described as the strongest agricultural sector in the world. | Input costs like fuel and fertilizer are easing thanks to pro-growth policies, and credit conditions are improving as interest rates come down. This marks Trump's latest direct intervention to support farmers, who received over $22 billion in aid payments in his first term and nearly $46 billion in 2020. | In a parallel move addressing water access for Texas farmers, Trump threatened a 5% tariff on Mexico over violations of the 1944 Water Treaty. Mexico still owes over 800,000 acre-feet of water for failing to comply with the treaty over the past five years, and Trump demanded the immediate release of 200,000 acre-feet before the year ends or face tariffs. | | | | | 🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟 | ⚕️ Senators Bernie Moreno and Susan Collins proposed the Consumer Affordability and Responsibility Enhancement Act, which would extend enhanced Obamacare subsidies for two years while phasing out subsidies for Americans making over $200,000. The legislation would end zero-premium plans, requiring a minimum $25 monthly payment to combat fraud and abuse. A Government Accountability Office report found that 58,000 Social Security numbers receiving subsidies matched death records, with $94 million sent to insurers on behalf of deceased people. | 💣 Federal court filings reveal the Biden FBI identified the January 6 pipe bomber in April 2021 but did not arrest Brian Cole for nearly five years. Cole was charged with planting pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters on January 5, 2021. Cellphone tower records showed Cole's phone in the area where the bombs were placed, with seven data transactions between 7:39 pm and 8:24 pm, matching the timeframe when bombs were planted. | 📺 Trump called Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos a "fantastic man" while expressing concerns that the company's potential $83 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery "could be a problem" due to market share. The president said the deal will "go through a process" to determine its fate. Sarandos told investors he believes the deal will close in 12-18 months and conveyed to Trump that even combined, Netflix would still have less TV market share than other media conglomerates. | ✈️ The Trump administration launched a $1 billion "Make Travel Family Friendly Again" campaign to improve the family travel experience at airports nationwide. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy performed pull-ups at Reagan National Airport to kick off the initiative, which will fund children's play areas, exercise spaces, mothers' rooms, family security lanes, and sensory rooms for children with special needs. Kennedy emphasized that everyone passing through U.S. airports should have access to fresh, whole foods. | 🤖 Senators Josh Hawley and Mark Warner introduced the AI-Related Job Impacts Clarity Act, requiring major companies and federal agencies to report AI-related job impacts to the Department of Labor quarterly. The legislation mandates disclosure of layoffs, hires, and retraining due to AI within 30 days of each quarter's end. Hawley cited warnings that AI could drive unemployment to 10-20% in the next five years, stating the American people need accurate understanding of how AI affects the workforce. | God bless,
