🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸🇸🇦 Unconfirmed video shows Iranian ballistic missile hitting Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. Landed meters from U.S. servicemembers. Only minor injuries.
Prince Sultan Air Base hosts major U.S. military presence. This was a direct strike on American troops.
If that missile had hit 50 feet differently, we'd be talking about dozens of dead Americans and the U.S. formally at war with Iran under different terms entirely.
Prince Sultan's a major hub for U.S. operations. If Iran can hit it with ballistic missiles, nowhere in the Gulf is safe.

🇻🇪🇺🇸 MADURO TO U.S.: GET YOUR WARPLANES OFF MY LAWN
Venezuela claims U.S. fighter jets got a little too close, 75km off the coast, and is now yelling “sovereignty” at full volume.
Maduro’s government is accusing the Pentagon of “warmongering” and promising to take it all the way… to the UN complaint box.
Meanwhile, he's rolling out military drills to “defend the homeland”, with 15,000 local defense units and, apparently, the Christmas spirit.

🇺🇸 PRESS SEC: MODERATE DEMOCRATS ARE JUST SCARED TO STEP UP
"The White House press briefing yesterday, he along with our Legislative Affairs shop and the President himself, continues to be in very important discussions with these moderate Democrats.
Also with our Senate Republican allies who have good relationships with these moderates.
They know what the right thing to do is, they just lack the courage to do it.
But they need to step up, and they need to vote for this clean continuing resolution to keep the government open, the same one they voted for as recently as March."

🚨 RECALL ALERT: 2 MILLION BAKED GOODS PULLED OVER LISTERIA FEARS
About 2 million baked goods—including some doughnuts and coffee rolls sold at Dunkin’—were recalled due to potential listeria contamination, per the FDA.
FGF Brands issued the recall for products made before December 13, 2024, but says no food tested positive and current items are safe to eat.
Listeria can be deadly, especially for pregnant women, infants, and those with weakened immune systems.
