State Department unit established in 2016 closes after US Congress fails to extend funding amid Republican accusations.
A leading United States government agency that tracks foreign disinformation has terminated its operations, the State Department has said, after Congress failed to extend its funding following years of Republican criticism.
The Global Engagement Center (GEC), a State Department unit established in 2016, shuttered on Monday at a time when officials and experts tracking propaganda have been warning of the risk of disinformation campaigns from US adversaries such as Russia and China.

“The State Department has consulted with Congress regarding next steps,” it said in a statement when asked what would happen to the GEC’s staff and its ongoing projects following the shutdown.
The GEC had an annual budget of $61m and a staff of about 120. Its closing leaves the State Department without a dedicated office for tracking and countering disinformation from US rivals for the first time in eight years.
A measure to extend funding for the centre was stripped out of the final version of the bipartisan federal spending bill that passed through the US Congress last week.
The GEC has long faced scrutiny from Republican lawmakers, who accused it of censoring and surveilling Americans.
It also came under fire from Elon Musk, who accused the GEC in 2023 of being the “worst offender in US government censorship [and] media manipulation” and called the agency a “threat to our democracy.”
The GEC’s leaders have pushed back on those views, calling their work crucial to combating foreign propaganda campaigns.
Musk had loudly objected to the original budget bill that would have kept GEC funding, though without singling out the centre. The billionaire is an adviser to President-elect Donald Trump and has been tapped to run the new so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with reducing government spending, in Trump’s upcoming administration.
In June, James Rubin, special envoy and coordinator for the GEC, announced the launch of a multinational group based in Warsaw to counter Russian disinformation on the war in neighbouring Ukraine.
The State Department said the initiative, known as the Ukraine Communications Group, would bring together partner governments to coordinate messaging, promote accurate reporting of the war and expose Kremlin information manipulation.
In a report last year, the GEC warned that China was spending billions of dollars globally to spread disinformation and threatening to cause a “sharp contraction” in freedom of speech around the world.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – For families spending the holidays in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Providence Hospital, the season can feel far from festive. But this year, some special visitors are bringing joy and a sense of normalcy to these tiny fighters and their loved ones.
Scrubbing in with hand sanitizer before entering the room, Santa and Mrs. Claus had a special job: spreading Christmas cheer to the hospital’s tiniest patients.
Among them are twin boys, Lyons and Ronin Abbey, who were born on Thanksgiving Day, seven weeks before their Jan. 11 due date.
“It’s amazing,” Siray Abbey, the twins’ mother, said. “We took our girls to see Santa, and it was a little sad that we couldn’t take the boys. What a gift to have Santa and Mrs. Claus come visit us and bring a little Christmas normalcy to our lives.”
Even Santa couldn’t help but get emotional holding the twins.
“It almost brings tears,” he shared. “It’s almost impossible to describe the inner emotions and outer emotions.”
The boys’ sisters — Siren and Rayla, ages 3 and 1 — got to see their brothers through a window, and their father, Loren Abbey, expressed his gratitude for their growing family.
“As a father, it’s amazing to have two daughters, but it’s even more special to have two sons to go with it,” he said. “I feel very complete.”
The NICU staff added an extra layer of holiday cheer by gifting each baby a handmade quilt to keep them warm during Santa and Mrs. Claus’ visit.
“They’re all different and made by our volunteers,” Physical Therapist Ginny McGill said. “We use them to wrap every baby in so that every baby that gets held by Santa is kept safe.”
Registered nurses like Meghan Klatt said visits like this provide much-needed normalcy for families during a stressful time, giving them hope for the day they’ll all be reunited at home.
“Your baby will eventually go home with you, it just takes time,” Klatt said. “You’re the most important thing for them, and continue to be strong and support them as they grow and eventually thrive and go home with you.”
For the Abbey family, the visit brought comfort and joy as they look forward to welcoming their boys home, hopefully by Christmas.
“My heart’s full,” Siray said. “I’ll feel 100% complete once I have all my babies under one roof.”
Even in the toughest times, the magic of Christmas shines through, one tiny miracle at a time.

On December 25, 2024, love horoscopes focus on the Sun and Moon for each zodiac sign. The Capricorn Sun allows you to be cautious and tempered in your relationships. As the Capricorn Sun aligns with the Moon, ease settles in your soul as your head and heart harmonize and enjoy the present moment. 
The union of the Sun and Moon represents the merging of your conscious self with your emotional body. This helps you feel fulfilled and balanced, allowing you to cultivate a sense of harmony in your romantic relationship.
Allow yourself to be present, honoring this inner ease. This is a day to focus on what you have rather than what you don’t. Life doesn’t need to be perfect for you to enjoy time with your partner or to embrace the love you share. 
While the Capricorn Sun encourages grounding and practicality, the Scorpio Moon is deeply authentic. Any harmony you create can be genuine. Focus on cultivating harmony within yourself to maximize this opportunity in your romantic life.

Give yourself quiet moments today or meditate, reflecting on all you have to be grateful for. Be proud of yourself for speaking your truth, and trust that when you reconnect with spirit, you are also reconnecting with an essential part of who you are.

Sadiq-led team meets Afghan leaders to address security, terrorism, and bilateral relations
A high-powered delegation led by Pakistan's special envoy on Afghanistan Muhammad Sadiq on Tuesday held crucial talks in Kabul in what is seen as renewed push by both sides to overcome the obstacles in their bilateral relationship.
This was the first high-level visit by the Pakistani side to Kabul in 15 months and came at a time when Pakistan is battling with terrorism particularly in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
Ambassador Muhammad Sadiq soon after landing in Kabul on Monday evening met Afghan Taliban interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani. Sources said the two sides held extended discussions over dinner. The agenda includes the security situation, presence of terrorist hideouts and other matters.
The Pakistani delegation on Tuesday also held talks with Afghan Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi. A statement issued by the Afghan side said the delegation led by Muhammad Sadiq discussed bilateral issues and cooperation in various sectors and improving relations between the two countries.
Both sides emphasized the need for "joint efforts" to stabilize peace and security and foster economic growth.
During the meeting between Afghan interior minister and Pakistani special envoy, both sides discussed important issues aimed at further improving relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan and resolving current challenges, according to the statement issued by the Afghan interior ministry.
The Pakistan delegation offered condolences on behalf of Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, his assistant, and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar for the "martyrdom" of Khalilur Rehman Haqqani. They expressed deep sympathy to the martyr's family and the Afghan people and prayed for the martyr's forgiveness.
Pakistan's Special Representative, Sadiq Khan, also expressed deep sorrow over Khalilur Rehman Haqqani's death and said, "We are determined to resolve the existing issues between Afghanistan and Pakistan through joint efforts, so that economic and public ties between the two countries are further strengthened".
As per the Afghan handout, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the interim Minister of the Interior, while welcoming the guests, highlighted the religious, cultural, and historical commonalities between the two neighboring countries.
He emphasized, "The current situation demands that efforts be intensified to resolve security and political issues, to prevent any harm to the relationship between the two nations and ensure the stability and development of the region."
At the end of the meeting, both sides stressed the need for continued cooperation and reconciliation to further enhance relations.
The Pakistani delegation will have more meetings with Afghan authorities on Wednesday before wrapping up the crucial trip.
Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have remained strained for many months. Pakistan has repeatedly blamed the terrorist hideouts across Afghanistan as the main reason behind the surge in terrorist attacks.
The Taliban government have denied the charges and insisted that it does not allow any group to threaten peace and security of the neighbouring country.
It has also stressed that the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was an internal matter of Pakistan.
However, several independent reports endorsed Pakistan's view that the TTP and its leadership have been operating from Afghanistan.
The latest move by Pakistan to dispatch a high-powered delegation was part of an effort to give diplomacy a chance to resolve the issue of terrorism.

Lee Daniels‘ new release “The Deliverance” is a multi-faceted horror movie based on the true story of a family’s encounter with a demon-infested home in Gary, Indiana. When I heard about the movie, I’d already made up my mind that I wanted to watch it. I am certainly a horror movie fanatic. Yet what really fascinated me was that we were finally getting a faith-based supernatural film from the perspective of the Black community. In addition, I was curious to see what other themes Daniels would bring into the narrative.
The plot centers around Ebony Jackson (Andra Day), a mixed-raced woman and struggling alcoholic who is abusive to her children. Her White mother, Alberta (Glenn Close), serves as something of a support system for Ebony and her children as they try to get settled into their new home. It becomes apparent early on in the movie that the characters have both metaphorical and literal demons to conquer. Ebony often lashes out in a drunken rage at her children, and Alberta sometimes doesn’t understand Ebony and her struggles. In addition to classic supernatural horror, Daniels zooms in on the day-to-day experiences faced in the Black community that are just as traumatizing as a haunted house. He ties in generational trauma, interracial conflict within families, sexual abuse, systemic racism in medicine and healthcare, and disparate outcomes in the housing market.
In one particular scene, Ebony and Alberta take the kids to the doctor as the supernatural phenomena ramp up in the house and in the children’s bodies. A frantic Ebony pleads with the doctor for help but the doctor deems her aggressive and tells her to calm down. Alberta, feeling embarrassed, agrees with the doctor that Ebony is acting aggressively and irrationally, forcing her to leave the doctor’s office. Ebony then explodes on her mother in the parking lot about how she is unwilling to really be there for Ebony when it comes to the issues she faces as a Black woman.

I was glad to see that Daniels did not rely on jump scares to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, nor did he fall into the recent (and tired) trope that paints religion as nothing more than a futile, traumatic experience. The film industry has cranked out several movies over the last three years that paint Christianity in a bad light, often attempting to sympathize with the Black community in doing so. The trend for the past three years has had White directors and producers casting Black characters in roles of people who do not have faith or are notably anti-religious (see Storm Reid in “The Nun II”). However, this narrative that religion is bad does not resonate with the majority of the Black community, in which 97%  of African Americans believe in God or a higher power, with almost 80% identifying as Christian.
Despite Daniels’ commitment to portray Black spirituality onscreen, the movie has gotten negative reviews from many White film critics who don’t see the value in making a movie with positive religious themes. As I thumbed through most of the secular reviews of the film, I couldn’t help but notice how most of them failed to address the positive faith-based themes of the movie, instead choosing to focus on how it is based on true events, or outright exempting Jesus from the discussion altogether. It was refreshing to see Daniels actually portray something on screen that most Black Americans can identify with in a horror movie: the importance of their faith.
In the final showdown between Ebony and the demon possessing her son, she must confront her feelings of abandonment by God and have an encounter of love with him that snaps her out of her fear. Daniels did a great job portraying how sometimes feelings of abandonment during traumatic experiences or events in life can cause people to lose faith in God. He also did a great job portraying the practical difference faith makes in a person’s life.
The acting all around was great, and the only bone I had to pick with the film was its seemingly anti-Catholic theology at some points. However, if you want to watch a good scary film that truly builds up chilling tension while likely relating to some of your life experiences, I would highly recommend it.

2 altcoins expected to outperform Bitcoin in January 2025  AMBCrypto News

Jennifer Lopez, who filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August after two years of marriage, spoke to Judy Robles, who she portrays in Unstoppable, about parenting and relationships.
Following a year of personal highs and lows, including a breakup with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez is in her Unstoppable era.
Indeed, the actress is making headlines for her role as Judy Robles in her new film, which follows the life of athlete Anthony Robles, who made a name for himself in the wrestling world after being born with one leg. And during a recent discussion with Judy for British Vogue, Jennifer—who shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony—explained how motherhood shaped her performance in Unstoppable. 
"The relationship between you and Anthony really, for me, informed and became the heart and the soul of the film," the singer told Judy in the interview published Dec. 20. "Being a mom and knowing what it is to want to give the best to your children and put forward your best face for them all the time. But also be struggling as a woman and in relationships and in life and with your own dreams and your own aspirations—and what that means and what that feels like, I think for me, was the biggest thing."
As Jennifer—who filed for divorce from Ben, a co-producer for Unstoppable, in August—put it, despite wanting the best for your kids, it doesn't stop someone from "being a human being who struggles."
And when Judy admitted it's hard watching scenes from the film that portray her relationship with her ex, Jennifer understood.
"And thank you for allowing us to do that," the Hustlers star added, "I feel that very deeply, because I've been in the same spot at times, like, 'Maybe I shouldn't be giving this person a chance.'"
"I don't think there's a woman on Earth who hasn't been in that position," she continued, "or even men."
Jennifer went on to share how she navigates challenges in her life.
"I think the way I overcome things is not by thinking of them as happening to me," she explained, "but happening for me. And, what is the lesson that needs to be learned in the moment?"
As for Jennifer's performance in the film, she's received praise from the Unstoppable family, including her ex.
“We really believe in the power of storytelling when the people involved in it are deeply connected to the story,” Ben told Entertainment Tonight in November. “Jennifer’s spectacular.”

The crypto market is in a downtrend and investors are looking for the best coins to buy for huge gains. Amidst the Bitcoin and Ethereum crash, many are looking for altcoins with promising growth trajectories; as they shift from the two coins. Solana’s price has soared by over 10,000% since 2020. Not many people invested at the right time to enjoy this ROI. A new contender is emerging with similar strength, another chance to make a fortune.
BlockBoost ($BBT) has garnered the most attention as a Bitcoin alternative, promising 5000% in 2025. Investors are grabbing the coins priced at $0.002 before it increases to $0.003.
The crypto world is ablaze with excitement as BlockBoost ($BBT) continues to dominate presale conversations.

The downturn triggered liquidations totaling $38.86 million, with $33.57 million from long positions alone, signaling heightened bearish activity. On-chain data from DeFiLlama also reveals a significant 7% drop in Total Value Locked (TVL), from $11.22 billion to $10.35 billion, mirroring similar declines seen in August and October that preceded double-digit corrections.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 35, below its neutral 50, indicating strong bearish momentum. SOL trades below $194 as of Friday, with resistance levels at $201.85 and $230, while support lies at $174.85. If the $201.85 resistance holds, analysts predict a further 10% decline. However, a recovery above this level could propel SOL to retest $230, offering potential respite for cautious investors.
Today, Solana is trading at $184.01; recording an 11.27% in the past 24 hours. 
Cardano (ADA) has seen significant fluctuations in its value, currently trading at $0.8543, reflecting an 11.33% drop in the past 24 hours. Over the past week, ADA has lost around 27% of its value, further fueling concerns among investors. Despite briefly surpassing the $1.33 mark last month, ADA has struggled to maintain momentum, entering a steep downward trajectory. Technical analysis reveals an “inverted head and shoulders” pattern forming on the daily and four-hour charts, suggesting a potential 45% drop to the $0.50 range if the asset falls below the neckline. However, analysts like Taki remain optimistic, pointing to key Fibonacci levels and support at $0.824 as potential signals for a bullish resurgence in 2025. Despite these concerns, ADA’s historical trends and strong development efforts suggest significant potential for growth, with some analysts forecasting future price surges to the $5–$30 range and beyond.
Solana  (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) are crushing with the rest of the crypto market. BlockBoost ($BBT), maintaining its presale momentum indicates it could be a trend survivor and the best altcoin to buy now. Take advantage of the limited presale to buy $BBT at the cheapest price for maximum ROI.
