VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis says the Christmas season provides reason for hope amid the difficulties of the coronavirus pandemic. Francis noted during his Sunday blessing that the Vatican’s Christmas tree had gone up this week in St. Peter’s Square, and work is underway to build the life-size Nativity scene next to it. Francis pointed to the tree from his studio window over the square and said such symbols of Christmas “are signs of hope, especially in this difficult period.” He urged the faithful to recall the true meaning of Christmas and lend a hand to the neediest. He said, “there’s no pandemic, there’s no crisis that can extinguish this light.” 670

Two men who claim to be members of the Boogaloo Bois are facing federal charges for trying to help Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization.Boogaloo Bois and sub-groups are a loosely-connected group of people with violent anti-government stances; some members were seen at racial injustice demonstrations this summer wearing Hawaiian shirts and carrying long weapons. Many have a negative view of officers and government structure, advocating for the injury or death of police.Social media groups claiming to be part of the Boogaloo Bois movement have attracted attention this year and tens of thousands of members online, according to USA Today.Michael Solomon and Benjamin Teeter call themselves members of the group, and of a sub-group called Boojahideen, and were allegedly seen opening carrying firearms in residential neighborhoods in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd and the demonstrations that followed.According to the FBI’s investigation of Solomon and Teeter, they “possessed firearms and substantial quantities of ammunition and that Solomon, Teeter, and other members of the Boogaloo Bois and Boojahideen discussed committing acts of violence against police officers and other targets in furtherance of the Boojahideen’s stated goal of overthrowing the government and replacing its police forces.” 1343

UK Prime Minister Theresa May has survived a vote of no confidence triggered by members of her own party over her handling of Brexit.The result was announced by Graham Brady, a member of parliament who chairs the 1922 Committee, which represents Conservative lawmakers in the House of Commons.Voting by secret ballot began at 6 p.m. (1 p.m. ET) Wednesday evening after May made her final pitch to lawmakers promising them she wouldn't fight the next general election in 2022. A pro-May MP told CNN the Prime Minister "got a real grilling, but overall solid support" as she made her case to MPs.Wednesday's no-confidence vote could not have come at a worse time for May, who had been crisscrossing Europe to beg EU leaders for help passing her Brexit deal through UK Parliament.May was forced to postpone a vote on the deal on Monday when it became clear her bill would face a humiliating defeat.The Prime Minister's victory protects her from another leadership challenge from within her own party for 12 months. 1029

Twitter has flagged President Donald Trump’s Monday evening tweet for being “misleading” after the president said a recent Supreme Court decision regarding tomorrow’s election will “induce violence.”Trump’s tweet said, “The Supreme Court decision on voting in Pennsylvania is a VERY dangerous one. It will allow rampant and unchecked cheating and will undermine our entire systems of laws. It will also induce violence in the streets. Something must be done!”Trump told reporters between campaign rallies on Monday that he believes the decision will lead to cheating.The Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania can arrive up to three days after the election given they are postmarked by the election.“It’s a mistake. It allows cheating,” he told White House pool reporters “Totally opens up cheating in Pennsylvania."Trump's opponent Joe Biden had little to say about the tweet. “I’m not going to respond to anything he has to say. I’m hoping for a straightforward, peaceful election with a lot of people showing up," Biden said late Monday.While polling suggests Trump will do well among those who will vote in-person on Tuesday, polls show Biden with a huge advantage among mail-in voters.Mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, a state expected to be crucial in deciding who wins Tuesday’s election, could take days to count. Election officials are not allowed to begin processing ballots already received until Tuesday morning."The outcome of Tuesday's election could well depend on Pennsylvania. It is vitally important that the more than 3 million ballots cast by mail here be counted as soon as possible," Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar said. "The country will be looking to Pennsylvania for accurate and timely results."Election results are generally not official until days or weeks after the election.With mail-in vote results expected to come in after the in-person votes in Pennsylvania, Trump will likely see a sizable lead dwindle in the hours and days after polls close in the state.While Trump has claimed that voting fraud could cast doubt on the legitimacy on the election, there have been relatively few instances of recorded voting fraud. The White House released a Heritage Foundation report that found 1,071 instances of voting fraud, but those instances date back into the 20th century compared to hundreds of millions of votes tallied over the years. 2408
