'Start Here': US troops repositioning in Syria
Here's what you need to know to start your day.
Elsewhere:
Censure standoff: Republicans moved to censure California Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, on Monday over comments he made in a hearing last month. The vote, not surprisingly, failed -- with everyone coming down along party lines (besides one Republican who abstained).
'Our lives have been changed forever': The prosecution is asking for a 15- and 16-year-old to be charged as adults after they allegedly attacked a 59-year-old man and killed him after he declined to give them a dollar at a local fair.
'She's not a Russian agent': Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is receiving support from an unlikely ally: President Donald Trump. The president came to her defense Monday, but only so he could get a jab in at a familiar foe.
'The force will be with you ... always': The final trailer for the final film in the Skywalker Saga, \"The Rise of Skywalker,\" premiered last night and if you haven't already seen it, you need to remedy that deficit. Dec. 20 is just 60 short days away.

After chemotherapy and 14 surgeries, O'Brien stepped on a field for the first time over the weekend as holder on an extra point during a big win against Rutgers.
The kick -- as perfect as O'Brien's comeback.
