It's official. I'm Deborah Valentine, Fox News. The federal government won't shut down for now. The final stopgap bill did not include a suspension of the debt ceiling, which President-elect Donald Trump wanted. President Biden, after staying largely silent this week, says in part this agreement represents a compromise. He goes on to say it rejects the accelerated pathway to a tax cut for billionaires that Republicans sought, and it ensures that the
the government can continue to operate at full capacity. A chaotic week in Congress that left House Speaker Mike Johnson scrambling for a third solution after President-elect Trump and Elon Musk undercut a bipartisan agreement earlier this week. Johnson says Trump ultimately accepts the outcome of the negotiations, even if the final product does not include his demand for a debt limit increase.
That's Fox's Madeline Rivera. There are new developments in the car attack on a German Christmas market, which killed at least five people, over 200 injured. Fox's Stephanie Bennett has the latest. Currently, 15 hospitals across Germany are helping some of these victims. Now, this happened, of course, just five days before Christmas. The market in Magdeburg was packed with people enjoying their Friday night with family and friends.
until around 7 local time when witnesses say a rented black BMW sped straight through the crowd. Within three minutes, police arrested a 50-year-old Saudi Arabian doctor at gunpoint. Police say he moved to Germany in 2006.
He was acting alone, and the motive remains unclear. But they did say the suspect was dissatisfied by the treatment of Saudi refugees in Germany, and that may have been a factor. The market has closed indefinitely. Laura Trump, daughter-in-law of President-elect Trump, says she has removed her name from consideration for U.S. Senate. She said on X she will have a big announcement in January, so stay tuned. America's listening to Fox News.

A number of Amazon workers continue to strike at the height of the holiday shopping season. Fox Business reporter Max Gordon has more from an active demonstration in the city of Industry, California. The rush is on to deliver those packages ahead of Christmas and striking Amazon delivery workers are making their voices heard by slowing down operations here at this facility in the city of Industry.
Well, there isn't exactly the line of vans that we saw earlier, and we've got less folks out here on the picket line. Really, the emphasis was on earlier in the morning when those vans were going on out. But workers here that we've talked to say that they want higher pay as well as better working conditions.
Thousands of drivers for firms that contract with Amazon walked off the job across the country Thursday morning. The strike is growing, with an additional warehouse on Staten Island joining today. And Amazon refuses to acknowledge the organizing efforts of drivers and warehouse workers, many of whom have voted to unionize, even though the powerful Teamsters union says it represents them.
Police have arrested 22 Trendy Aragua gang members during two raids that busted the hideout in a New York City apartment building. Fox's C.B. Cotton has the details on previous crime links. You may remember last month I reported that these two confirmed TDA members were arrested during another bust here in the city. Both of
these men were also wanted in Aurora, Colorado, where they and a group of armed men were caught on surveillance breaking into an apartment in August. City leaders there were quick to push back against claims that the complex had been taken over by the Venezuelan gang. But now the same complex back in the headlines once again after police said a Venezuelan couple was abducted on Monday, taken to an empty apartment, bound and pistol whipped. Aurora Police
