as posted by the channel

President Joe Biden said at the funeral service for former late Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, first woman to serve on the High Court, that she was "a daughter of the American West, was a pioneer in her own right, breaking down the barriers in the legal and political worlds and the nation’s consciousness."

There were also eulogies from Chief Justice John Roberts, biographer Evan Thomas, and her son, Jay O'Connor.

U.S. Senate leaders say they are even more optimistic with every passing day that a deal on U.S. immigration and border security can be reached that can be attached to the President's request for aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. But both the Democratic and Republican leaders say more time is needed to reach that agreement.

White House spokesperson John Kirby talks about the latest steps to confront Houthi rebels, who have been attacking ships in the Red Sea, in response to Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza.

United Nations Security Council is working on a new resolution that will allow more humanitarian aid to flow in Gaza. The resolution will not call for a ceasefire, since the U.S. vetoed a previous one that did, but instead will use language like a 'suspension of hostilities'.

An update on Christmas holiday air travel from Transportation Sec Pete Buttigieg and FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker.
