Man with loaded gun arrested at checkpoint near Donald Trump’s rally in California
SUMMARY: A 49-year-old man from Nevada was arrested at a security checkpoint outside a Donald Trump rally in Coachella, California, with a shotgun, loaded handgun, ammunition, and several fake passports in his unregistered SUV. He claimed to be a journalist, but it was unclear if he had proper credentials. Although he made it past an outer security boundary, deputies stopped him at an inner perimeter. He was arrested on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine, but was released on $5,000 bail the same day. Authorities stated the incident posed no danger to Trump or rally attendees.

Government shutdown averted just after deadline as Congress passes stop-gap bill
SUMMARY: As the government shutdown deadline approached, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Saturday to temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, excluding President-elect Donald Trump’s debt ceiling demands. The House overwhelmingly approved the bill, which funds the government through March 14 and includes disaster assistance. Trump had insisted on a debt ceiling increase, threatening a shutdown, but GOP leadership opted for a compromise with Democrats. The outcome raises questions about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s future amidst GOP dissent. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill, averting a shutdown that could affect millions, especially during the holiday season.
