Lawmakers in New Jersey and beyond grew worried Friday about the now-regular spotting of drones over the state, with officials calling for answers and more transparency from federal agencies. It's been 10 days since the FBI office in Newark put out a public plea for information about sightings of "possible drones." On Thursday, Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden asked for federal help. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is calling for "transparency" over the situation. In Europe, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized while in Luxembourg for an undisclosed injury. Details were scarce. In Washington, D.C., Senate Democrats are seething over "nays" from outgoing Sens. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) in a critical vote. Congress is barreling toward a government shutdown deadline in just a week. Republicans on Friday in the House also picked more chairs for their committees next year. And President-elect Trump's nominees are meeting mixed reactions on Capitol Hill, with Defense pick Pete Hegseth getting a warmer reception, thanks to a shift in Trump's tactics, and director of national intelligence pick Tulsi Gabbard finding resistance among senators. That's where we're starting Friday. Follow along below for developments.
