The news to know for Thursday, December 18, 2025!

What to know about President Trump's primetime address to the nation last night—how he rates his first year back in office, and why some say it was the wrong message.

Also, why the U.S. is now suing the U.S. Virgin Islands, who is donating to the so-called Trump Accounts this time, and what a new version of history at the White House shows.

Plus: what it could mean now that federal funding has been cut to the American Academy of Pediatrics, why the Academy Awards will look very different in a few years, and how music can be like food for your brain.
