The Pentagon has sent a legislative proposal to Congress calling for the establishment of a Space Force within the United States military, a top defense priority for the Trump administration, senior defense officials said Friday.If authorized by Congress, the proposal would allow for the creation of a sixth service of the military alongside the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. Initially the Space Force would fall under the Department of the Air Force, in much the same way the Marine Corps are formally part of the Navy.The Secretary of the Air Force would be responsible for organizing, training and equipping two distinct military services, but the new Space Force would have a four-star chief of staff who would serve as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a newly created Under Secretary of Space would provide oversight of the civilian component of the new service.The proposal was submitted to Congress on Wednesday night, and initially makes a request for 200 people and million from the 2020 fiscal year budget to establish a headquarters for the Space Force. Most of the staffing to formally stand up the new service would initially come from the Air Force, with the goal of transitioning personnel from other military branches as the service takes shape over the coming years."This is an historic moment for our nation," Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said in a written statement Friday. "The Department of Defense's legislative proposal to establish the United States Space Force as the sixth branch of the Armed Forces is a strategic step towards securing America's vital national interests in space. Our approach follows President Trump's bold vision for space and commits resources to deliver more capability faster, ensuring the United States can compete, deter, and, if needed, win in a complex domain.""Billions of people use space every day and it allows us as a military to protect our homeland and to project power around the globe with less lives at risk," a senior defense official told reporters at the Pentagon on Friday during a briefing on the proposal.Democrats skepticalThough a high priority for Trump, the creation of a new military service has been met with opposition from Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill."I am opposed to President Trump's proposal for a 'Space Force,'" Rep. Adam Smith, Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in in a statement in September. "I am concerned that his proposal would create additional costly military bureaucracy at a time when we have limited resources for defense and critical domestic priorities."The idea for a Space Force follows from the latest National Defense Strategy, a document released in the early days of the Trump administration that seeks to re-orient US defense policy toward "great power competition" with nations like China and Russia who are challenging the US for military superiority around the globe..Adversaries of the United States "have recognized what space brings to the United States and our military and as a result they are integrating space into their forces and they are developing weapons systems to be able to take away our advantages in crises or conflict," the defense official said.The Space Force would include both uniformed and civilian personnel conducting and supporting space operations within the military and seek to consolidate and centralize management of those operations within the new service that will focus on space as its own war fighting domain separate and distinct from air, sea and land.Once fully operational as a fully functional service, the officials said initial estimates are the Space Force would cost approximately 0 million a year.The officials said the plan is to create a service with a unique culture for approximately 15,000 personnel and a separate and distinct recruiting apparatus for the Space Force - much like those that currently exist for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. There would not be a separate military academy established for the new service officials said."We will continue to be the best in the world at space and establishing a dedicated space force strengthens our ability to deter, compete and win in space," Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson said in a written statement.The legislative proposal follows President Trump's order in December calling for the creation of "Space Command," the 11th combined combatant command, that joined the ranks of Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, and Special Operations Command, which oversees elite troops known as Special Operations Forces. 4653

Tired: Mr. Monopoly. Wired: Ms. Monopoly.One of America's most recognizable board games is getting an upgrade. Hasbro is debuting a new game celebrating women's empowerment -- Ms. Monopoly, marking the first time in Monopoly history when a new mascot will be featured on the cover of the game.The twist? In Ms. Monopoly, female players will get more money.Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass "go," while male players will collect the usual 200. The idea is to create a game where women make more than men, the first game to do so, according to Hasbro.It's "a fun new take on the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men," the company said in a statement. "But don't worry, if men play their cards right, they can make more money too."That's not the only difference, though. Instead of buying property, players will invest in inventions created by women -- things like Wi-Fi and chocolate chip cookies. But no worries -- mainstays such as jail, luxury taxes and chance cards are still included.The announcement of Ms. Monopoly comes a few weeks after the company received criticism for Monopoly Socialism -- a tongue-in-cheek game that sparked debate for its flippant handling of socialism. Hasbro also debuted Monopoly for Millennials in 2018, poking fun at stereotypical millennial trends such as avocado toast and veganism.Ms. Monopoly will be available for pre-order beginning September 10. 1483

TULSA, Oklahoma — Pharmacists are fighting for new legislation that would keep insurance companies from telling customers which pharmacies to use. Pharmacy Benefit Managers often referred to as PBMs, are companies hired to help insurance companies save money.But Tulsa Pharmacist Chris Schiller said it's the patients who end up paying more. "They negotiated drug prices and did lower costs," Shiller said. "But since that time 15 years ago, they've used all these different tactics to make money where they've actually increased costs 1,010 percent."Schiller hopes HB2632 and SB841 will pass and help regulate PBMs. He said PBMs tell the patient what pharmacy they can use, eliminating your choice of where to get your prescription filled. "I'm hoping to see a level playing field for all pharmacies that protects the patient's right to choose," Schiller said. "Patients shouldn't be penalized to use the pharmacy they are most comfortable with." "I've been coming to Economy Pharmacy since they opened years ago," Kenda Skaggs said. Skaggs travels from Sand Springs to get her prescriptions. She said it's important to her to see a pharmacist she trusts. "They don't make mistakes," Skaggs said. "They know me and they know the meds I am on, and I trust them with their advice." Schiller said because of PBMs, local pharmacies may not be here a few years down the road."It's getting to that point, to where they're reimbursing so low, and directing so many patients out of state, that there aren't going to be as many pharmacies if we do not pass some regulations," Schiller said. 1597

Thirteen wealthy parents, including actress Felicity Huffman, and one coach will plead guilty to using bribery and other forms of fraud as part of the college admissions scandal, federal prosecutors in Boston said on Monday.Huffman, Gregory and Marcia Abbott, Jane Buckingham, Gordon Caplan, Robert Flaxman, Agustin Huneeus Jr., Marjorie Klapper, Peter Jan Sartorio, Stephen Semprevivo and Devin Sloane were all charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud and have agreed to plead guilty, prosecutors said.Bruce Isackson and Davina Isackson will plead guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, and Bruce Isackson will also plead guilty to money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to defraud the IRS for taking a tax deduction for the bribe.Finally, Michael Center, the former men's tennis coach at the University of Texas, agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.Huffman, the "Desperate Housewives" star, pleaded guilty to paying ,000 to a fake charity associated with Rick Singer to facilitate cheating for her daughter on the SATs, the complaint says."I am in full acceptance of my guilt, and with deep regret and shame over what I have done, I accept full responsibility for my actions and will accept the consequences that stem from those actions," she said in a statement."I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community. I want to apologize to them and, especially, I want to apologize to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who make tremendous sacrifices to support their children and do so honestly."My daughter knew absolutely nothing about my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her. This transgression toward her and the public I will carry for the rest of my life. My desire to help my daughter is no excuse to break the law or engage in dishonesty," she said in the statement.Prosecutors will be asking for jail time for all defendants, according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. Huffman, Lori Loughlin and other defendants are facing anywhere between six to 21 months in prison if convicted or if they plead guilty, the official added, though the exact sentence would depend on a number of factors.Huffman released the following statement, according to ABC News. 2515
