2. Trump's Syria Withdrawal: The White House has announced that the U.S. will withdraw its remaining troops from northeastern Syria, effectively abandoning the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who have been fighting against ISIS. The move has been widely criticized by lawmakers and allies, who fear it will allow Turkey to launch a military operation against the SDF.

3. Senate Republicans Block Voting Rights Bill: Senate Republicans have blocked a Democratic bill aimed at strengthening voting rights and combating voter suppression. The bill, known as the "For the People Act," would have expanded voter registration, restored voting rights to felons, and prohibited voter ID laws.

4. Trump's Trade War with China: The U.S. and China have reached a tentative agreement to roll back some tariffs in a bid to ease tensions in their trade war. The deal would see the U.S. reduce tariffs on $120 billion worth of Chinese goods, while China would reduce tariffs on $80 billion worth of U.S. goods.

5. Pelosi's Impeachment Strategy: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced that the House will vote on articles of impeachment against President Trump next week, despite some Democrats expressing concerns about the process. Pelosi has also indicated that she may hold off on sending the articles to the Senate for a trial until after the Thanksgiving recess.

6. Trump's Border Wall Funding: The White House has announced that it will divert $3.6 billion in military construction funds to build a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The move has been criticized by lawmakers and advocates who argue that it will harm military readiness and divert funds from critical infrastructure projects.
