AA<\/strong>. American Airlines offers nonbinary options for travelers<\/a>. ‘American Airlines passengers can now change to “U” or “X” designations by talking to a customer service agent on the phone. American is also in the process of making the change to its website, too. “U” stands for unspecified or undisclosed and X has become a standard marker for those that don’t identify as male<\/a> or female<\/a>.’<\/p>\n RICKY GERVAIS<\/strong>. Golden Globes host spends weekend defending himself on Twitter, claiming transphobic tweets were just joke tweets to spoof accounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n Those awful biological women<\/a> can never understand what it must be like for you becoming a lovely lady<\/a> so late in life. They take their girly privileges for granted. Winning at female<\/a> sports and having their own toilets. Well, enough is enough.<\/p>\n — Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) December 20, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n BOEING<\/strong>. CEO Dennis Muilenburg is out<\/a>: “Mulienburg, whose resignation is effective immediately, will temporarily be succeeded by Boeing chief financial officer Greg Smith. The Chicago-based company’s chairman David Calhoun will permanently replace Muilenburg as president and CEO on Jan. 13. The leadership change — just two days before Christmas — is part of an effort by the Board of Directors to ‘restore confidence in the company,’ Boeing said<\/a> in a statement Monday.”<\/p>\n CHINA<\/strong>. U.S. Space Force is direct threat<\/a>: “Foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters that China is ‘deeply concerned about it and resolutely opposed to it.’ … ‘The relevant U.S. actions are a serious violation of the international consensus on the peaceful use of outer space, undermine global strategic balance and stability, and pose a direct threat to outer space peace and security,’ Geng said at a regular briefing.”<\/p>\n DOUG JONES<\/strong>. Alabama Senate Democrat says he would be willing to “acquit” Trump<\/a>. ‘Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) said on ABC’s “This Week” that the allegations that President Trump exploited Ukraine for his political benefit are “serious” and “impeachable,” but added that there are “gaps” in the House’s case and that he is willing to acquit Trump in a Senate trial if “those dots aren’t connected.”‘<\/p>\n “(President Trump) ordered his top people who were in the room, who have first hand knowledge, not to testify. He ordered documents not to be turned over,” Sen. Doug Jones says in response to Sen. Ron Johnson’s claim that charges against Trump are “thin.” t.co\/1HAWEUtQuB<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/alfXVUC4Ff<\/a><\/p>\n — ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) December 22, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n CHRIS VAN HOLLEN<\/strong>. Senate Democrat asks GAO office on opinion on Trump withholding aid<\/a>: “The Administration must be held accountable for its violations of the ICA, or we will open the floodgates for this and future Administrations to violate the ICA with impunity.”<\/p>\n MIKE SCHMUHL<\/strong>. How Pete Buttigieg’s childhood friend ended up managing his campaign<\/a>: ‘Schmuhl — an even-keeled, attention-deflecting 36-year-old prone to telling staffers up and down the org chart that they have “the most critical” job on the campaign — has taken a decidedly unconventional path into presidential campaign management. Schmuhl has never staffed a statewide or national political run, unlike most other presidential campaign managers. The biggest campaign he managed before taking charge of Buttigieg’s presidential bid is a House race. In fact, he’s never worked for a candidate outside of Indiana.’<\/p>\n LOGAN PAUL<\/strong>.
