Speaker 2 Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia says she'll resign from Congress on January 5th.

Speaker 2 Greene was once a loyal supporter of President Trump, but has offered criticism of him recently, particularly in regard to the Epstein files, NPR Stephen Fowler.

Speaker 3 It's also worth noting that it's because this split has been a long time coming.

Speaker 3 Marjorie Taylor Greene has been at the forefront of criticisms this year of Republicans who haven't always agreed with Trump 2.0 policy planks.

Speaker 3 On the foreign policy front, that includes the bombing of Iran in support of Israel's war in Gaza.

Speaker 3 Domestically, there's been riffs over some of the tariff policies and the subsequent walkbacks the administration has done.

Speaker 2 Trump now now calls her Marjorie Trader Green, and it's said he would endorse a challenger against her in next year's primary elections.

Speaker 2 A federal judge Friday blocked the Internal Revenue Service from sharing taxpayers' addresses with immigration officials. MPR's Jude Jaffe Block has more.

Speaker 4 The court order blocks one of the ways the Trump administration has been taking unprecedented steps to share personal data with ICE to boost deportations.

Speaker 4 Back in August, the IRS turned over the addresses of 47,000 people to ICE. The judge found that data sharing was unlawful.

Speaker 4 The order bars Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant from sharing confidential taxpayer information with the Department of Homeland Security or its sub-agencies unless the government is directly engaged in a relevant criminal investigation.

Speaker 4 The order is a victory for the small businesses, unions, and tax assistance nonprofit that brought the suit. It's unclear whether the administration will appeal.

Speaker 2 Ukrainian President Vlodymir Zelensky says his country is facing one of its hardest moments in history.

Speaker 2 As NPR Zalander Beardsley reports, he's being pressured to sign on to a peace deal that's widely viewed as favoring Russia.

Speaker 5 Neither Ukraine nor the Europeans knew anything about the 28-point plan, which would require Kyiv to surrender significant territory, reduce the size of its military, and relinquish weapons.

Speaker 5 Ukraine may find itself facing a very difficult choice, said Zelensky.

Speaker 5 Either the loss of dignity or the risk of losing a key partner.

Speaker 5 Zelensky has been trying to negotiate in good faith with the Trump administration, but Ukrainians call this deal a plan for capitulation. European leaders are scrambling to come up with a response.

Speaker 5 They say a just peace can only happen with Ukraine and the EU at the negotiating table. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Lviv, Ukraine.

Speaker 2 In Nigeria, gunmen have attacked a boarding school and abducted students from their dorm.

Speaker 6 Nigerian authorities say the attack occurred in the early hours of Friday at the St. Mary's Catholic School in Papiri.
