A car attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, resulted in two deaths and over 60 injuries. The suspect, a Saudi Arabian doctor, is in custody, and authorities suspect the attack was deliberate. This incident echoes past European terror attacks. In the U.S., the House passed a spending bill to prevent a government shutdown, following a last-minute bipartisan agreement. The bill extends government funding through March, provides disaster aid, and allocates funds for farmers, but does not address the debt ceiling. This comes after President-elect Trump and Elon Musk opposed a previous bipartisan deal.
