Today’s Headlines: Updates on the New Year’s attacks reveal that the New Orleans suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, acted alone, leaving explosives near the scene and posting ISIS-related videos before the attack. Meanwhile, the Vegas Cybertruck attacker, Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger, died from a gunshot before the explosion, with no link found between the incidents. House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a critical vote today, backed by Trump, who announced a pre-inauguration rally for January 19. Apple agreed to a $95M settlement over Siri eavesdropping claims, potentially compensating users about $20 per device. Lastly, Aeromexico was named the most on-time airline of 2024, followed by Saudia and Delta, the top U.S. carrier.
