    U.S. — In what sources described as a "cruel" step to reduce waste of taxpayer funding at all levels, the Department of Government Efficiency has announced plans to force government offices to use only single-ply toilet paper. The department headed up by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy took a hardline stance against government inefficiency, setting its sights on eliminating wasteful spending wherever it is found, including millions of bathroom stalls in federal buildings nationwide. "Any government facility that believes it is worthy of two-play toilet paper must show cause," Ramaswamy said in a post on his X account. "The...

  • Commentary: Christmas is coming, and California is still counting ballots. Is that a problem?

    Some Californians were carving Halloween pumpkins and taking their kids trick-or-treating when they cast their ballots in this year’s election. Now they’re putting up Christmas trees while officials are still tallying votes in some places.With the vast majority of ballots counted, most of the races have been called by media organizations anyway, including some very close ones. In Orange County, Democrat Derek Tran was declared the winner in his race against incumbent Michelle Steel last week.With that and a race in Iowa called the same week, California now claims the distinction of being home to the last congressional race in...

    Washington — Sen. Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican who is nearing the end of his Senate term, warned in his farewell address on Wednesday of those who "tear at our unity," urging America to uphold the nation's values as he capped more than two decades in public service. "I have learned that politics alone cannot measure up to the challenges we face," Romney said. "A country's character is a reflection not just of its elected officials, but also of its people. I leave Washington to return to be one among them."Romney announced in September 2023 that he would not seek...

    Senator Chuck Schumer, the typically chatty New York Democrat and majority leader, often resorts to repeating a single terse phrase when he doesn’t want to answer a question. “I’m with Joe,” was his mantra for two long weeks in July as he was barraged with questions about whether President Biden needed to withdraw from the presidential race after his devastating debate performance. Mr. Schumer took the same approach on Tuesday as he tried to avoid passing judgment on the fraught subject of Mr. Biden’s full and unconditional pardon for his son Hunter. “I’ve got nothing for you on that,” he...

    U.S. — To the delight of millions, President-Elect Trump has announced that future FBI Director Kash Patel and DOGE co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy will celebrate the inauguration with an epic Bollywood ceremony. "Vivek and Kash will crush the Deep State, but before that, they will perform the most special and incredible Indian dance the world has ever seen," said Trump to cheering fans. "There will be eagles and tigers and elephants and dancing women, and they will even make that cool dance move where it looks like they're trying to screw in a lightbulb. It will be almost as cool as...

    Kash Patel is now the presumptive head of the FBI and he's planning on some big changes. Here are just a few of the most incredible. Here are 10 drastic changes coming to the bureau: All FBI agents must go back to wearing trenchcoats, carrying snub-nose revolvers, and saying "see?" after every statement: Presentation matters, see? Cancel all current plans to assassinate Donald Trump: But cool trenchcoats first. All of Melania's underwear recovered during the Mar A Lago raid must be returned: They've had it long enough. From now on, all agents must submit a written request before grooming a...

    President-elect Donald J. Trump’s transition operation announced on Tuesday that it had belatedly signed an agreement with the Justice Department that will allow the F.B.I. to conduct background checks on people Mr. Trump intends to appoint as senior officials in his new administration.F.B.I. background checks have long been a routine part of transitions. Law-enforcement vetting of a president-elect’s senior team is normally part of decisions about whether they can be entrusted with access to national security secrets, and senators traditionally want to see such dossiers during the confirmation process.But Mr. Trump, who is hostile to the F.B.I. because of its...

    U.S. — After the grotesque pink design of the new Jaguar was leaked to the public, the nation's gays have confirmed they are not really interested in the new car and will just stick with their very gay Mustang convertibles. "We appreciate Jaguar trying to market to us by being extremely flamboyantly gay, but we already have the gayest car known to man, and it will never be topped: the Ford Mustang," said Chandler Borgins of Los Angeles, California. "We'll just stick with these, thanks." Experts say the Mustang, which has long been a gay icon, has been purchased...

    President-elect Donald J. Trump has promised to unravel President Biden’s major legislation when he takes office next month, but Mr. Biden is hoping to salvage his most prized policies with help from an unlikely source: Republicans.With just weeks left in office, Mr. Biden and his aides have emphasized that his signature economic legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act, overwhelmingly benefits Republican districts, in the hopes that Mr. Trump would face blowback from his own party if he repealed it.The administration is also racing to award hundreds of millions of dollars in grants and finalize environmental regulations to lock in Mr. Biden’s...
