"Taking jobs from Americans"...
Would that be the picking strawberries for $4 per hour job or the picking cabbages for $14 per day job? Because over 70% of all our agricultural labor is immigrants--many working as slave wages.

Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

I'm jealous of everyone who can get a glimpse of the Northern lights from their home. We live just south of Baltimore, so facing north we look straight into the city glow.

Anyone else feel like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene got visited by the Ghosts of Christmas?
Simmering tension between President Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) burst into public view on Monday after the president said the “Make America Great Again” loyalist has “lost her way” and accused her of catering to “the other side.” https://wapo.st/3LwDTSl

I mean, yeah, the Carolina Panthers aren't having a great season. But at 5-5, it's way too early to start calling in the National Guard.
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."

Key antenna in NASA’s Deep Space Network damaged
One of the largest antennas in NASA’s Deep Space Network was damaged in September and may be out of service for an extended period, further straining the system.
