The Teamsters are representing Amazon's unionized warehouse workers, and they're calling for them to walk off the job.

Sharon Crowley with Fox 5 TV in New York. Amazon says Christmas won't be ruined for anyone, that these workers represent 1% of their warehouse staff. Amazon also says that most of those on strike now aren't even Amazon employees, calling them third-party delivery drivers.

The GOP is working on a plan B. The vice president-elect, J.D. Vance, didn't leave Speaker Johnson's office until almost 10 p.m., late enough that Vance's son, who was with him, was in his pajamas. Fox's Peter Doocy. Pressure from the president-elect read like this on Truth Social. Sounds like the ridiculous and extraordinarily expensive continuing resolution plus is dying fast. And one of the things that made it so expensive was...

There could be an attempted rebound on Wall Street this morning. Stock futures are rising after yesterday's massive sell-off, triggered not by an expected interest rate cut, but what the Federal Reserve said after it. The central bank is cutting its key interest rate for a third time this year, Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

But Fed officials signal that they expect to reduce rates more slowly next year than previously envisioned, largely because of still hot inflation. Fed officials are penciling in two cuts for 2025 if the economy grows steadily and if inflation continues to decline. In September, officials had penciled in around four cuts next year.
