Elon Musk @elonmusk - Peter is right on all counts
Quote
ELON CLIPS @ElonClipsX 
Peter Thiel: The consensus in Washington is that DOGE is going nowhere, but I'd say you should never bet against Elon.
“The strong consensus view in the D.C. establishment is that this is going to go nowhere. That it's just absolutely impossible to fix things, and this is going to be a very frustrating dead end. 
The alternate view, I would say, is you should never bet against Elon. 
We all know there's an extraordinary amount of waste, and it is unsustainable. The 6% GDP deficits the US has cannot be sustained. They probably cannot even be sustained for even the rest of this decade. 
There are two ways to resolve them. You can cut spending and cut waste, or you can raise taxes massively. 
I take this election in the US for standing for the proposition we're not going to go the European-style socialist route of having massive tax hikes. That suggests you need to try something like the DOGE thing. And that's actually what is going to happen.”

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - Just finished a meeting with the International Longshoremen’s Association and its President, Harold Daggett, and Executive VP, Dennis Daggett. There has been a lot of discussion having to do with “automation” on United States docks. I’ve studied automation, and know just about everything there is to know about it. The amount of money saved is nowhere near the distress, hurt, and harm it causes for American Workers, in this case, our Longshoremen. Foreign companies have made a fortune in the U.S. by giving them access to our markets. They shouldn’t be looking for every last penny knowing how many families are hurt. They’ve got record profits, and I’d rather these foreign companies spend it on the great men and women on our docks, than machinery, which is expensive, and which will constantly have to be replaced. In the end, there’s no gain for them, and I hope that they will understand how important an issue this is for me. For the great privilege of accessing our markets, these foreign companies should hire our incredible American Workers, instead of laying them off, and sending those profits back to foreign countries. It is time to put AMERICA FIRST!

Landmark Cases: Supreme Court Landmark Case Miranda v. Arizona
Jeff Rosen and Paul Cassel talked about the 1966 U.S. Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona, in which the court ruled 5-4 that criminal suspects must be informed of their right against self-incrimination and their right to consult with an attorney before being questioned by police. Topics included the history of policing tactics. The guests also responded to viewer questions and comments. Video clips were shown of a montage of television police dramas; Carroll Cooley, who obtained a confession from Ernesto Miranda, giving a tour of the Phoenix, Arizona, police museum; Chief Justice Earl Warren being interviewed in 1969; the oral arguments in the case; Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) interviewed on September 22, 2015; and Jeffrey Earl Warren reading a letter from his grandfather.

Federal Communications Commission Votes on Net Neutrality, Part 1
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held a meeting to discuss seven agenda items, one of which included a vote to repeal net neutrality rules. “Net neutrality” refers Obama administration rules that regulated the internet like a public utility and prohibited internet service providers from blocking or charging websites for higher quality delivery to consumers. Other agenda items included the commission’s Emergency Alert System, tele-health access in rural America, and communications towers standards. The commissioners proceeded to the net neutrality item but had to recess quickly due to a security concern.

President Biden Remarks at DNC Holiday Celebration
President Biden spoke at a Democratic National Committee holiday celebration, along with Vice President Kamala Harris and others. He talked about the passage of the American Rescue Plan, the infrastructure bill, job creation and the drop in unemployment, vaccination rate against COVID-19, and other issues. He also pushed for the passage of the Build Back Better bill, citing priorities such as lowering the costs of child care and prescription drugs. On voting rights, President Biden said Republicans were “following my predecessor deep into the abyss.” He went on saying, “It’s a sinister combination of voter suppression and election subversion. ... It’s un-American, it’s undemocratic, it’s unpatriotic and, sadly, it is not unprecedented.”

Online Resources: Bill of Rights Overview Module
The Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution. These amendments guarantee essential rights and civil liberties, such as the freedom of religion, the right to free speech, the right to bear arms, trial by jury, and more, as well as reserving rights to the people and the states. After the Constitutional Convention, the absence of a bill of rights emerged as a central part of the ratification debates. Anti-Federalists, who opposed ratification, pointed to the missing bill of rights as a fatal flaw. Several states ratified the Constitution on the condition that a bill of rights be promptly added.
