Chapter 2: What did Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announce regarding her resignation?
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says she'll resign from Congress on January 5th. Greene rose to prominence as one of President Trump's biggest supporters, but over the past several months, the two have regularly fought, in particular over the release of the Epstein files. In a video announcing her decision, Greene said she was tired of being called traitor and wacky.
I refuse to be a battered wife hoping it all goes away and gets better. If I am cast aside by the president and the MAGA political machine and replaced by neocons, big pharma, big tech, military industrial war complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can never ever relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well.
Green also said Republicans are likely to lose next year's midterm elections. President Trump renewed efforts to end the war in Ukraine this week with news of a 28-point peace plan, but NPR's Franco Ordonez reports that international observers are urging caution about the proposal's practicality.
Only a few details have come out, but one seen as a non-starter for Kiev involves Ukraine ceding territory to Russia. a proposal Trump has pushed before. Sam Cherup, who's at RAND, a think tank that studies security, says the details don't matter as much to Trump. He just wants to stop the fighting.
For both Presidents Putin and Zelensky, the details really matter. That's why you have to have them or their representatives in the room. working these issues in detail if you want to get something that will stick.
That's why Russia wants more strategic territory, and Ukraine is so adamant about needing security guarantees from Washington and its Western partners, so that this type of invasion doesn't happen again. Franco. Ordonez, NPR News, the White House.
U.S. Border Patrol agents appear to be winding down their operation in Charlotte, North Carolina, after arresting 370 people over five days. Nick Dela Canale of member station WFAE has our reports.
Activists say Border Patrol sightings around Charlotte have dropped sharply, though they're urging undocumented and mixed-status families to stay alert. In Washington, North Carolina Republican Senator Tom Tillis said he wants the identities of detainees to be released.
I want to make sure that Homeland Security can provide me with the definitive list of people who were detained, how long they were detained, whether or not they were released, and when property was damaged, whether or not they've been provided proper restitution.
