Syrian Kurds Suspend Anti-ISIS Operations to Brace for Turkish Invasion
Mazloum asked the Syrian regime and its Russian patrons to join the U.S.-led coalition to prevent the Turkish invasion. “We can say that our work against IS with the international coalition has stopped, because we are preoccupied with the Turkish attacks. Our coordination and work with the Russians on the ground has also been affected by the Turkish attacks,” he told the AP. Syrian Kurdish officials, including Mazloum in his interviews on Wednesday, denied involvement in the bombing and denounced it as an act of terrorism. The PYD is a Syrian Kurdish political party linked to the YPG militia, which was a vital Western ally during the war against the Islamic State.

Then around 2:30 p.m., the Coast Guard got a call from the ship, Coast Guard Lt. Phillip VanderWeit said in a statement. A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew out of New Orleans headed to the spot — and “hoisted the man onto the helicopter,” VanderWeit said. “He was able to identify his name, confirmed that he was the individual that fell overboard,” Gross told CNN’s Boris Sanchez on Friday afternoon. Rescuers haven’t been able to determine exactly how long he was in the water, Gross told “CNN This Morning” — but it could have been more than 15 hours.

Advertisment:Claim: A giant Barney balloon float burst during the 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It took place during the 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, an event held in New York City every year. Barney wasn't the only balloon to fall, according to the Times, which reported, "Barney suffered extensive damage and had to be removed at 51st Street.

No one was injured when the Barney balloon collapsed, but sadly that wasn't the case for the parade in its entirety.

Little appetite for Manchin permitting bill in congressional lame-duck session
The measure would put time limits on environmental reviews and restrict communities’ power to challenge agency decisions in court. The letter was distributed Monday by U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, a progressive Arizona Democrat who chairs the House Natural Resources Committee and has vocally opposed the Manchin bill. The Manchin bill targets requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, demanding that environmental reviews of major projects are completed within two years and all others are completed within one. The pipeline should go through standard environmental reviews, he said. But the permitting bill remains without critical support in Washington.

A new foreign policy headache for Biden as Israel forms new government
Dealing with the Netanyahu-led government will pose major challenges for the Biden administration, which desires a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and broader acceptance of Israel in the Arab world. Republicans in the U.S. who are eager to cast themselves as true friends of Israel are sure to question any Biden administration criticism of the new government. Netanyahu and the GOP have grown closer over the past decade, undermining decades of bipartisan support for Israel. Netanyahu and President Joe Biden have both said that U.S. support for Israel should remain bipartisan. Republicans remain eager to criticize anything short of unquestioning support for Israel from the Biden administration.
