Good morning from Washington, where Senate Democrats want their GOP counterparts to vote to spend a mountain of taxpayers’ money before the new Congress convenes Jan. 3. Some Senate Republicans are fighting back, Samantha Aschieris writes. The Justice Department charges two more pro-life women, Mary Margaret Olohan reports, just after suing Arizona for building its own border wall, as Virginia Allen details. Plus: Jarrett Stepman on the latest media freakout over changes at Twitter, and Nicole Russell on a Navy SEAL’s transgender regrets. On this date in 1979,  Hollywood stuntman Stan Barrett roars across a dry lakebed at California’s Edwards Air Force Base in a rocket- and missile-powered car to become the first person to travel faster than the speed of sound on land.   Eight days till Christmas. Enjoy your weekend.
