Summary

The U.S. Senate approved a bipartisan stop-gap funding bill to prevent a government shutdown, defying Donald Trump’s demand to suspend the debt limit.

Passed with broad support in both chambers, the bill maintains current funding levels while adding $100 billion in disaster aid and $10 billion for farmers.

Trump’s push for debt ceiling suspension, backed by Elon Musk, caused turmoil among Republicans but failed to pass, highlighting cracks in Trump’s control over the party.

Democrats criticized Musk’s influence, while House Speaker Mike Johnson called the outcome a necessary compromise for future GOP priorities.

The suspect in the deadly ramming at a Christmas market in Germany on Friday was an anti-Islam activist who shared pro-Israel content on social media in the wake of the October 7 attacks, The Wall Street Journal reported.

According to the Journal report, the suspect, a Saudi national who had moved to Germany in 2006, ran a website and social media channels warning against Islam and discussing women’s rights, as well as posting content in support of Israel.

He also showed support for Germany’s far-right anti-immigration AfD party, the report said.

Fermions are weird about each other in a standoffish way. Integer-spin particles are weird about each other in a 'stand uncomfortably close while talking' kind of way.

Earlier this year Lemmy celebrated the death of a president(or another very important person) who was known for enabling warcrimes in a war(I think it was either the Vietnam war or the Cambodia war) and therefore led to massive suffering. Sadly I forgot who it was. Does anyone of you know who I mean?
