Thailand launched airstrikes against Cambodia on Monday as a new wave of fighting erupted between the southeast Asian neighbors, leaving a peace plan presided over by US President Donald Trump just two months ago in danger of collapse.

Both sides accused the other of launching strikes along their disputed border in the early morning hours, after weeks of simmering tension and the earlier suspension of progress on the ceasefire agreement by Thailand.

The two nations have repeatedly fought brief border skirmishes in recent decades, with a deadly five-day conflict in July leaving dozens dead and displacing about 200,000 on both sides of the frontier.

Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the country “never wished to see violence,” but would “not allow the violation of its sovereignty.”

Additional military action would be decided “according to the conditions of the situation,” he said, in apparent reference to further aggression from Cambodia.

Cambodia’s defense ministry condemned the Thai strikes, insisting it remained committed to implementing the previous ceasefire.

Thailand’s army said Monday’s airstrikes targeted Cambodian military infrastructure, and were retaliation for an attack earlier on Monday that killed a Thai soldier and injured seven people.

“The target was at Cambodia’s arms supporting positions in the area of Chong An Ma Pass,” said army spokesperson Maj. Gen. Winthai Suvaree, who accused Cambodia of using “artilleries and mortar launchers to attack the Thai side at Anupong Base.”

Cambodia began targeting the Thai border at around 3 a.m. local time, mobilizing heavy weapons and repositioning combat units, Thai military officials claimed. The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) called them “activities that could escalate military operations and pose a threat to the Thai border area.”

A three-judge panel in El Paso on Tuesday blocked Texas Republicans’ newly redrawn congressional map, dealing a major blow to President Donald Trump, who hoped the redistricting would help the party pick up five more seats in next year’s midterm election.

In a 2-1 ruling, the judges said the plaintiffs' argument was likely to prevail that the new map violated the U.S. Constitution by drawing districts based on race, rather than simply to give Republicans a partisan edge.

The determination, which was quickly appealed, could have major implications for the upcoming March 3 primary election. Filing for the race opened Nov. 8 and lasts for one month.

Some Democrats in Congress, including U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Austin, have said they won’t decide whether to run for reelection until the map is settled. The redrawn version had wiped out a Democratic-leaning district in Houston, Austin and Dallas, and made two South Texas districts held by Democrats more Republican-leaning.

Small businesses are “starting to crack” amid a weakening economy, rising costs and fickle consumers; and they drove job losses in the US private sector in November, new data showed Wednesday.

Payroll giant ADP estimated that 32,000 jobs were lost in the private sector last month, a large drop-off from the upwardly revised 47,000 jobs gained in October.

The job losses were overwhelmingly at small establishments (classified as having between one and 49 employees), which shed an estimated 120,000 jobs last month. Medium and large businesses added 51,000 jobs and 39,000 jobs, respectively.

By industry, the losses were more broad based, with some of the deeper drops in industries such as professional and business services, information and manufacturing.

Economists were expecting that 40,000 jobs would be added, according to FactSet.

Private employers have shed jobs in four of the past six months, ADP data shows. The net loss of 32,000 reported for November is the largest monthly drop in two and a half years.

ADP’s estimates, which are drawn from anonymized and aggregated payroll data from its clients, don’t often fully correlate with the official monthly jobs numbers that are released by the government.

However, ADP’s reports have gained prominence in recent weeks, because the historic federal shutdown mangled statistical agencies’ abilities to collect, analyze and release economic data.

The November jobs report, which originally was supposed to be released Friday, has been delayed until December 16 and will include partial data from October.

I don't know where to post this, but a minor died, and when he died, someone on Roblox uploaded a UGC (Ultra-Grade Creator) with the minor's face. The worst part is that they mocked and scammed people using the minor's death. I'm leaving their TikTok account here so you can help report them, as their mother is asking for help to report this person.https://www.tiktok.com/@xdrip_?_r=1&_t=ZS-923hRz0syfp

Spencer Deery’s son was getting ready for school when someone tried to provoke police into swarming his home by reporting a fake emergency.

Linda Rogers said there were threats at her home and the golf course that her family has run for generations.

Jean Leising faced a pipe bomb scare that was emailed to local law enforcement.

The three are among roughly a dozen Republicans in the Indiana Senate who have seen their lives turned upside down while President Donald Trump pushes to redraw the state’s congressional map to expand the party’s power in the 2026 midterm elections.

It’s a bewildering and frightening experience for lawmakers who consider themselves loyal party members and never imagined they would be doing their jobs under the same shadow of violence that has darkened American political life in recent years. Leising described it as “a very dangerous and intimidating process.”

Redistricting is normally done once a decade after a new national census. Trump wants to accelerate the process in hopes of protecting the Republicans’ thin majority in the U.S. House next year. His allies in Texas, Missouri, Ohio and North Carolina have already gone along with his plans for new political lines.

Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will help run Gaza, Western officials have said.

The negotiators, who both played key roles in securing the ceasefire, will be involved in the practical rebuilding of the war-torn Strip, under US plans to be announced this month.

This is despite both also being centrally involved in US efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

According to briefings from Western officials to media in the US and Israel, Mr Kushner and Mr Witkoff will join Sir Tony Blair on Gaza’s executive board, which will sit under the board of peace, chaired by Mr Trump.
The formula, which now has UN backing, was largely devised over the summer by Mr Kushner and Sir Tony.

The pair have been close ever since the former British prime minister helped Mr Kushner achieve the Abraham Accords agreement between Israel, the UAE and others in Mr Trump’s first term.

The executive management board will oversee a committee of 12 to 15 Palestinian technocrats with no links to Hamas or Fatah.

The board of peace, the body with ultimate authority, will comprise heads of Arab and European countries, such as Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.

Somali refugees in Minnesota have committed the 'biggest theft of taxpayer dollars in US history' and local Democratic officials were 'fully complicit' in the scheme,White House officials declared Friday night.

Federal authorities announced this week that at least 86 people mostly within small Somali communities in the state have stolen more than $1 billion in public funds from programs meant to feed children,assist the homeless and provide autism therapy.

The suspects allegedly ran companies that billed Minnesota state officials for millions of dollars in social services that were never actually rendered in three separate fraud schemes.

It has since been revealed that Representative Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had connections with at least some of the Somali refugees charged in the massive scheme.

They were both pictured with Abdul Dahir Ibrahi, who was taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody on Friday.

He had previously been convicted in Canada of asylum and welfare fraud, Fox News reports.

Now, US Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller said authorities 'believe the state government is fully complicit in this scheme, and we believe that what we uncover is going to shock the American people.

He added that the evidence federal prosecutors have already collected show that 'the Somali fraud operation in Minnesota is the single greatest theft of taxpayer dollars through welfare fraud in American history

Friday night,as the Trump administration probes whether the millions of dollars that were fraudulently obtained were funneled to terrorist organizations,including Somalia-based Al-Shabaab.

President Trump announced he was ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis which led to Ibrahim's arrest on Friday.

https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/kennedy-advisers-vote-dropping-hepatitis-b-vaccine-recommendation-most-us-2025-12-05/
Dec 5 (Reuters) - U.S. vaccine advisers on Friday scrapped a long-standing recommendation that all American newborns receive the hepatitis B shot, a major policy win for health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr that disease experts say will reverse decades of public health gains.
The committee recommended the birth dose only for infants of mothers who test positive for the virus or whose status is unknown, replacing the 1991 universal recommendation aimed at protecting all children from hepatitis B infections.
For the vast majority of children whose mothers test negative for the virus, it said parents should consult with their healthcare providers over if and when to begin the three-shot vaccine series and recommended the first dose no sooner than at two months of age.
Public health experts and medical groups including the American Medical Association decried the move, saying the decision creates obstacles to the vaccine and is in conflict with decades of evidence on its safety and efficacy.
Hepatitis B infections, which can lead to serious liver disease, have fallen nearly 90% in the U.S. from 9.6 per 100,000 before vaccination became widespread to about one per 100,000 in 2018.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - now run by a Kennedy-appointed acting head, Jim O'Neill, who is not a scientist - will use the committee's recommendations to set U.S. public health guidance.
The recommendations affect U.S. health insurance coverage and play a key role in assisting physicians who are choosing appropriate vaccines for patients. The trade group for insurers said they would continue covering the shot.
The American Academy of Pediatrics said it continued to support the birth dose of the vaccine.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom was roasted online for his bizarre AI-created reaction to being called out by The Post for sitting in a testicle-crushing pose during an interview.

Newsom’s press office took to X Friday to try and deflect from the many masculinity-mocking pol-watchers with a doctored image of the governor in an even more compromising yoga-style pose on stage at The New York Times Dealbook Summit.

“Democracy requires flexibility,” the tone-deaf Governor Newsom Press Office wrote in a caption to the post.

The strange attempt at humor fell flat with X-users who were aghast at the extra eyeful of Gavin.

“They…Posted this?” Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Report wrote.

“In a moment of rare honesty, Gavin Newsom replicates the position of his typical California citizen as he prepares to tax them up the a– even more,” user Viva Frei wrote in a comment.

“This isn’t a parody account,” another ironically wrote.

“Self-depricating humor doesn’t work with Gavin Newsom. He’s too narcissistic,” user Maze wrote.

“What the f–k are we doing in this country?” another X user lamented.

The cringe post and strange pose further inspired dozens of memes mocking the presumed 2028 presidential hopeful for displaying his apparently-flat undercarriage.

The Post initially busted Newsom’s balls on Dec. 4 when he chose to cross his legs knee-over-knee while discussing National Guard policies with Andrew Sorkin of The New York Times.

“I have never seen a man crush his testicles harder than this dude,” X user BoredElonMusk tweeted, along with footage of the discussion Wednesday.
