Morning editorial focus was divided between the aftermath of the Mar-a-Lago summit and a confirmed CIA drone strike on a Venezuelan port. While mainstream outlets analyzed President Trump’s military ultimatums toward Iran and Hamas, conservative media intensified reports on a large-scale Somali-linked welfare fraud scheme in Minnesota.
By early afternoon, scrutiny turned to the domestic administration, with the Washington Post and others documenting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sweeping efforts to dismantle public health infrastructure and scientific research funding.

The evening was dominated by two major developments: the death of Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, and the Trump administration’s decision to freeze all federal child care payments to Minnesota. Editors across the spectrum shifted to this domestic escalation, framing the funding halt as a direct response to the viral fraud allegations involving daycare centers.

Media across the political spectrum reported on the Lebanese Army receiving a fifth batch of heavy weaponry from the Fatah movement.

On December 30, Iranian editorial priorities shifted from the previous day's central bank reshuffle to a sweeping nationwide shutdown. In the morning, state-aligned media framed the closure of Tehran and several provinces as a response to severe weather and energy constraints. However, as the day progressed and the shutdown expanded to 22 provinces, diaspora and independent outlets characterized the move as a tactical containment of the 'third day' of economic protests.
By afternoon, reports centered on university campuses, where students joined bazaar strikers with slogans targeting the Supreme Leader. While state media attempted to project stability through reports of a $2 billion asset release and presidential directives to help small businesses, the primary editorial focus remained on the escalating ultimatum from President Trump.

By early afternoon, media attention pivoted to internal security, with heavy coverage of FSB operations thwarting alleged school attacks and infrastructure sabotage. Simultaneously, editors highlighted President Putin’s decree calling up military reserves for 2026.
