WikiLeaks loses PayPal funding amid legal and tech pressure
WikiLeaks says PayPal cut its donation service for violating policy, joining a series of setbacks as Amazon and other providers drop contracts, governments scrutinize, and a German foundation halts PayPal support. The move follows hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables release and plans by a founder’s former colleague to launch a new platform.

Senate clash edges toward year end tax deal
In Washington Senate Republicans blocked extending expiring tax cuts at all but the highest incomes, a move that may push talks with the White House toward a compromise. President Obama urged a resolution while noting taxes should not rise on Jan 1. Senate leaders hope to combine tax relief with extended unemployment benefits in a deal by mid next week.
