Congress Agrees Space Force; 2020 NDAA Vote Next Week

The House, Senate and the White House have struck a deal that will establish a Space Force as a sixth branch of the military…

Under the deal, the Democrats in Congress okayed the force in exchange for acquiescence by the Republicans to providing 12 weeks of paid maternity leave for federal workers.

The USSF will, unsurprisingly, be underneath the Air Force (as the Marines are under the Navy) and will at least initially draw its personnel from the Air Force. I’m honestly somewhat surprised that the House Dems can accomplish *anything* right now.
