EFTA00148727 | EFTA00148760 package to avert a government shutdown next month." The "agreement on the funding allocations, confirmed by a House Democratic aide, establishes overall totals for 12 appropriations measures that will be rolled into one massive omnibus bill that would boost federal budgets for the rest of the fiscal year." Negotiators "plan to keep the numbers - known as 302(b)s - under wraps until a bipartisan, bicameral omnibus is finalized, the aide said." Fox News, Parents Of DNC Staffer Settle Lawsuit. The AP (11/24) reports, "Fox News has reached a settlement with slain Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich's parents, who alleged in a lawsuit that the cable news company exploited their son's death in stories and commentary." Rich's parents said, "We are pleased with the settlement of this matter and sincerely hope that the media will take genuine caution in the future." Progressive Democrats Said To Be Critical Of Durbin As Senate Judiciary Ranking Member. Politico (11/24, Everett, Levine, 4.29M) reports Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) "was just re-elected as his party's whip, the No. 2 leadership job," and now "is seeking to succeed" Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) as the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, "first he will have to overcome resistance from some on the left and questions about whether he is accruing too many plum posts in the caucus." Durbin "is popular in the caucus and may already have the job locked down because of his seniority," but "some prominent progressives are pushing" for Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) "to get the job due to his reputation as a political brawler - the latest instance of the party fighting over its future in the post-Trump era." WSJournal: Feinstein's Ouster Reflects Stakes In GA Senate Runoffs. In an editorial, the Wall Street Journal (11/24, Subscription Publication, 7.57M) says Feinstein's ouster reinforces the stakes of Georgia's runoffs, because if Durbin takes over, Joe Biden would feel more pressure to nominate more liberal nominees and district-court trial judge bipartisanship would be eliminated. INTERNATIONAL NEWS US, EU Stockpile Coronavirus Vaccines While Russia, China Move To Share StateBacked Vaccines. The Washington Post (11/24, Morris, Rauhala, Mahtani, Dixon, 14.2M) reports that while the US and EU plan to stockpile coronavirus vaccines, China and Russia "rushed to share their own state-backed vaccines with nations scrambling for supply, positioning themselves to possibly expand their political and economic interests in the process." According to the Post, "The contrast goes well beyond the crisis of the pandemic, reflecting how the post-World War II world order is challenged by the rise of authoritarian powers and the retreat of the United States during the outgoing Trump Administration." While the New York Times (11/24, Kramer, 18.61M) reports the manufacturers of the "leading Russian vaccine candidate" Sputnik V "said on Tuesday that it showed an efficacy rate of 95 percent in preliminary results from a clinical trial, which would put it at the same level as or better than three other vaccines that have yielded results in recent weeks," this "was based on an unspecified small group of volunteers within the ongoing Phase 3 trial of the vaccine, and the vaccine makers did not specify how many people with the vaccine or the placebo got sick." In addition, Bloomberg (11/24, Kravchenko, Khrennikov, 4.73M) reports a spokesman for the Kremlin said Russian President Vladimir Putin has not yet been vaccinated. The spokesman added, "The president can't use an uncertified vaccine." England To Use Tests To Reduce Quarantine Time Ahead Of Holiday Travel. EFTA00148760

Trump’s anti-communist rhetoric labels domestic opponents as existential threats, echoing McCarthyism. Critics warn this weaponization erodes democratic compromise, justifies crackdowns, and distracts from core economic issues, all while the administration pursues statebacked economic interventions.
