☆ During college, her side hustle brought in over $1 million—but her mom wouldn't let her drop out of school

Navigating a busy college schedule while running your own business is even harder. For Elena Bonvicini, who founded the viral clothing brand EB Denim in high school, scaling her business during her time at the University of Southern California was a tall order. By the time she was a junior, EB Denim was bringing in over $1 million in revenue and Bonvicini was managing a handful of employees and interns. She would then have those jeans reworked into new designs, set up shop in her sorority house and invite her Kappa Kappa Gamma sisters to browse the selection. If she could drop out of school, Bonvincini thought, she would have even more time to grow her business.

Universal pre-K has long been thought to boost children's lives and futures, but a new study suggests parents could also reap the benefits of free and early education for their kids. A 2017 study found that universal pre-K helps more kids access healthcare, such as earlier detection and treatment for conditions like asthma and hearing and vision problems.

CNN —Red velvet suit, white fur trim, tall black boots, cozy (if not indulgent) pom-pom hat. Robert Walter Weir's oil painting of Santa Claus from 1837, shows him as a beardless, caped peddler of goods. Nowhere would we have found Christmas trees; no reindeer, no Santa Claus,” Nissenbaum writes. Portraits of Santa Claus by J.C. Leyendecker (left) and Norman Rockwell (right) helped establish Santa Claus' suit and wholesome persona. As his clothes evolved, Santa Claus’ elfish nature faded, too, into a much taller, jolly, and purely benevolent guest.

Lara Trump, President-elect Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, said on Saturday that she decided to remove her name from consideration to be a senator in Florida. The announcement quashed speculation that she was interested in replacing Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., whom Trump wants to serve as secretary of state. "After an incredible amount of thought, contemplation, and encouragement from so many, I have decided to remove my name from consideration for the United States Senate," Lara Trump said in a post to X. If Rubio is confirmed by the Senate to serve as secretary of state, his seat will become vacant. Even while at the RNC, Lara Trump had previously expressed openness to working in another position, fueling speculation that the Senate slot could become hers.

Rickey Henderson, the greatest base stealer in Major League Baseball history and one of the game’s most enduring players, has died, Major League Baseball confirmed Saturday. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred called Henderson the “gold standard of base stealing and leadoff hitting” in a statement Saturday that expressed the league’s condolences Saturday. In 2001 while playing for San Diego — one of the nine teams he played over a 25-year career — Henderson passed Babe Ruth as MLB’s all-time walks leader. A field near his high school, Oakland Tech, still bears Henderson’s name. “There was only one Rickey Henderson in baseball,” George Steinbrenner, the former Yankees owner, once said, according to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday announced his intent to appoint his former producer from "The Apprentice" to serve as special envoy to the United Kingdom. Trump has previously praised Burnett during campaign trail appearances. Besides "The Apprentice," Burnett has worked as a top producer on "Shark Tank," "The Voice" and "Survivor." Trump became a reality-TV star during his time hosting "The Apprentice" from 2004 to 2015, and Burnett launched the show with Trump. Trump previously announced he was picking his two daughters' fathers-in-law, Charles Kushner and Massad Boulos, to serve as ambassador to France and senior adviser on Arab and Middle East issues, respectively.

☆ Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell goes down with apparent knee injury

Houston Texans star receiver Tank Dell went down with an apparent gruesome knee injury in the third quarter of Saturday's contest against the Kansas City Chief. The injury, which led to Dell being carted off the field, was so devastating it had several of his teammates holding back tears on the sidelines. The injury occurred on a play that Houston initially celebrated -- a 30-yard touchdown catch by Dell from quarterback CJ Stroud that pulled the Texans (9-5) within 17-16 on the scoreboard. Stroud, who last season called Dell his closest friend on the Texans roster, was emotional watching the aftermath of the play. It could be the second major leg injury of Dell’s career, after a broken leg sidelined him during his rookie season in 2023.

Two senior U.S. officials familiar with the matter identified al-Abdulmohsen as the suspect. He has aligned himself with far-right movements such as Germany’s anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, while praising figures like Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders. Police have not released a motive in the Christmas market attack, but two senior U.S. officials told NBC News authorities are investigating whether the incident is terrorism-related. In 2019, al-Abdulmohsen told the newspaper FAZ that he left Islam in his early 20s after pretending he was still a Muslim. He had previously reposted the tech billionaire, who expressed his support for AfD last week, writing on X: “Only the AfD can save Germany.”

Blake Lively accused her co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment on the set of “It Ends With Us,” and then trying to ruin her reputation after she expressed her concerns, according to a complaint she filed. During one alleged incident, Baldoni improvised numerous kisses during a scene, the complaint says. Another incident alleges that Baldoni did not act in character while they filmed a slow dance scene that did not require sound. Baldoni was caressing Ms. Lively with his mouth in a way that had nothing to do with their roles. According to the complaint, Baldoni hired a crisis communications team to launch a “retaliatory social manipulation campaign” against Lively during the film’s promotion to destroy her reputation.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed a government funding bill on Saturday, formally averting a shutdown crisis after Congress passed the bill. The Senate passed the funding bill overnight on Saturday, shortly after the House passed the bill. The bill’s signing caps off a chaotic few days that began when Trump and his ally Elon Musk publicly opposed the initial bipartisan deal, effectively killing it. As the two men vocally opposed the deal, Republicans in Congress swiftly echoed their criticism. After the initial bipartisan deal fell apart, the House failed to pass a new funding bill on Thursday, when a vast majority of Democrats and a few dozen Republicans voted it down.

The US Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Saturday to increase Social Security benefits for close to 3 million federal, state and local public sector workers, which includes firefighters, police officers and teachers. If the legislation is signed into law by President Joe Biden, it would apply to all benefits payable after December 2023. The Social Security Fairness Act — which already passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support in November — eliminates two policies that have reduced Social Security benefits for public service employees. “The GPO reduces the spousal or surviving spousal benefits of people who receive pensions on the basis of noncovered employment,” CBO noted.

The hurricane killed at least 223 people across the Southeast, about half of them in North Carolina, authorities said. Empty apartment complexes and waterlogged vehicles rot in the faint winter sun. Tree stumps and branches, trash and household appliances waste away on roadsides and in rivers. Asheville resident Jeff Davis, 62, said he has tuned out the noise and adapted to living amid the chaos. Typically, the winter months draw millions of visitors to the alluring blue mountains, inviting hiking trails and live music venues.

Jeff and Mellissa Rupnow married and divorced twice, during which their daughter Natalie Rupnow would at times travel between her parents’ homes every few days and attend therapy. They married in 2011 and divorced for the first time in 2014, according to court documents. Mellissa and Jeff Rupnow again agreed to share custody of Natalie, but this time she would spend “equal time with both parents,” the court documents show. The FBI detained Alexander Paffendorf, 20, in California earlier this week and ordered him to temporarily surrender his firearms after he allegedly communicated with Natalie Rupnow. Natalie’s mother agreed to connect with her therapist and “participate in therapy to the extent recommended by the therapist,” according to the court documents.

The Summary NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is expected to dive extremely close to the solar surface on Dec. 24. The mission was designed to study the sun’s outer atmosphere and help researchers learn about how solar storms erupt into space. The agency’s Parker Solar Probe is days away from making its closest-ever approach to the sun on Tuesday, swooping nearer to our star than any other human-made object in history. As the Parker Solar Probe swoops close to the sun, it will likely fly through plumes of solar plasma and could even dive into active regions of the star, Korreck said. This busy phase, which is typically characterized by a flurry of solar storms and high magnetic activity, is known as the solar maximum.

☆ Bans on transgender care for minors may complicate eating disorder treatment

Restrictions on gender-affirming care proposed by Republicans in Congress and President-elect Donald Trump could be devastating for transgender youths, doctors say, especially for teens with eating disorders. Taking the hormones estrogen or testosterone, which many trans teens eventually receive, restores most of that bone loss. Additional restrictions could lead more kids to develop eating disorders and make it harder for people with eating disorders to recover, Menzel said. Tiffany Justice, a co-founder of the influential conservative group Moms for Liberty, dismisses gender-affirming care for minors as “child abuse” and “snake oil,” and she said her organization is working to ban gender-affirming care for minors in every state. Research shows such state bans on gender-affirming care heighten the stress and anxiety with which many trans people already live.

The traffic cameras, which use AI to detect and flag certain driving behaviors, might make it easier to prosecute more people than ever before for driving infractions. Acusensus, an Australian company, has worked with governments in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States to roll out some of the AI traffic cameras. Its camera system, called “Heads Up,” uses AI to catch drivers who are texting while driving or aren’t wearing seat belts. Speed and red light cameras are already familiar to U.S. drivers, capturing license plates and sending tickets by mail. The Queensland government reported that since it set up the cameras, road deaths have gone down by 7.1%.

WASHINGTON — A lengthy investigation by Senate Democrats into alleged ethical lapses by Supreme Court justices has ended with the release of a report Saturday criticizing the judiciary and calling for legislative reforms that incoming Republican leadership opposes. “The Supreme Court has mired itself in an ethical crisis of its own making by failing to address justices’ ethical misconduct for decades,” the report says. “An enforceable code of conduct for the Supreme Court is essential in light of the court’s failure to police itself,” the report says. In other findings, the report found justices are lax in identifying conflicts of interest that should trigger recusal. “This entire investigation was never about ‘ethics’ but about trying to undermine the Supreme Court because the Court is no longer acting like a super legislature handing down opinions implementing the Democrats’ political agenda,” he wrote.

Emergency services and firefighters respond to an attack at the Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, on December 20. D'rthe Hein/picture-alliance/dpa/APGerman Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that Germany must remain unified after a fatal car-ramming attack in the city of Magdeburg, and not let hatred divide the country. “For me it’s important that when such a terrible, awful event happens, a terrible attack in which so many people were injured and killed, almost on the anniversary of the Breitscheidplatz terror attack in Berlin, that we as a country stay together and stick together,” Scholz told reporters in Madgeburg on Saturday, referring to another ramming attack on a Christmas market in 2016 that left 12 dead. “What is important now is that we investigate what happened and carry out a proper, careful investigation,” he said. And we will.”

Less than a day after Trump named Kash Patel as his choice for FBI director, a former federal law enforcement official asked me a question: "curious if I'm on that list?" His definition of the 'deep state' appears to include the organization he hopes to lead. “One of the most cunning and powerful arms of the Deep State is the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” he wrote. “I have received calls from lifers who are putting in their papers,” said the former FBI official, who asked not to be named, citing fears of retaliation. Ultimately, he will fire the Attorney General and the FBI Director or force them out if they don’t do what he wants.”

Even though Republicans will control the White House, the House and the Senate, they’ll again need Democratic votes to stop a shutdown in less than three months. In addition, Trump’s demand that Congress extend or abolish the debt ceiling to take it off his plate next year failed dramatically. On Friday, 170 House Republicans defied him and did just that. A day after Speaker Mike Johnson released an initial bipartisan deal, Trump and his billionaire confidant Elon Musk blew it up. Van Orden's fellow Wisconsinite, Sen.
