Republican senators who voted to acquit former President Trump during his second trial after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol largely say they don't regret their votes years later, as Trump looks like he'll be the party's standard-bearer again in 2024. One Republican senator who frequently criticizes Trump's conduct but nevertheless voted to acquit Trump of inciting insurrection said they would have voted the same way if given a second chance after knowing the outcome. |

The Hill spoke with child psychiatry expert Dr. Erin Belfort about the issue and rounded up guidance from across government and academia for a holiday guide to one of parent's most vexing challenges. |

Gripping testimony from Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss in their defamation case against Rudy Giuliani led to a staggering $148 million in damages — and potential lessons for Fulton County (Ga.) District Attorney Fani Willis as she prepares to take her complex case to court. Freeman and Moss, who are also set to be star witnesses in the Georgia case, won some $100 million more than they requested, as a Washington, D.C., jury found they were not only defamed by Giuliani but also suffered severe emotional harm after he accused them of election fraud against former President Trump. |

Police received a call about a shooting at the Paddock Mall in Ocala, Fla., at around 3:40 p.m., according to a Facebook post from the Ocala Police Department (OPD).

Gov. Chris Sununu (R-N.H.) went after former President Trump on Saturday after Trump claimed Sununu had low approval ratings, with the governor instead pointing to their electoral records. "One of us has never lost an election," the four-term governor said on X, formerly Twitter. "The other currently polls at 40% in NH and apparently doesn't know how to turn his caps lock off." |

President Biden said that he did not ask Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to negotiate a cease-fire in the country's war with Hamas during a call Saturday, despite rising pressure to do so.

The Colorado Supreme Court's Tuesday decision to disqualify former President Trump from the state primary ballot has come under fire from Republicans who have claimed it is a political move against the former president. But former federal judge Michael Luttig fired back at those criticisms in an MSNBC interview Saturday, saying it is really the constitution that could keep Trump off the ballot, not any political force. |

Former Attorney General Bill Barr warned that his successor in a possible second Trump administration would have to oppose the former president's "abuse of government power." Barr, who left Trump's White House on poor terms in 2020, claimed members of the cabinet would struggle to act as guardrails for the president if he's reelected in 2024 — just as he and others did during Trump's first term. |

OPINION | Last year while in Italy, a cab driver who couldn't speak English was trying to explain something that sounded serious. To overcome the language barrier, he spoke Italian quickly into Google translate, which spit out the English translation. In the future this exchange will get even easier. Artificial intelligence models are working toward instant translation tools. Eventually, a Neuralink-like device could allow us to "think" our comments, and have them instantly translated for the person we're "talking" to. |
OPINION | It's fashionable these days to dismiss the value of a college degree. But Trinity College in Connecticut changed the financial reality of my life. My degree enabled me to discover issues and causes that led to a life and career full of passion and purpose. Growing up in a working-class family in western Massachusetts, I had little reason to think this trajectory was possible. But for my better-off Trinity classmates, a degree that led to a career was the expectation. |

The attacks on crucial shipping traffic in the Red Sea straits by a determined band of militants in Yemen — a spillover from the Israeli-Hamas war in Gaza — is injecting a new dose of instability into a world economy already struggling with mounting geopolitical tensions. |
Call it a Christmas miracle: Inflation around the globe is slowing way faster than expected. If economists are right, that gift will keep on giving next year, bringing inflation back to normal levels for the first time in three years. |

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — More than a dozen Israeli soldiers were killed in combat in the Gaza Strip over the weekend, the Israeli military said Sunday, in some of the bloodiest days of battle since the start of Israel's ground offensive in late October and a sign that Hamas is still putting up a fight despite weeks of brutal war. |
