Illegal bio lab found - Poland-Belarus border tension - Space Command dispute

Source: Space Command

1. Summary
   This week President Biden reversed former President Trump's decision to move the US Space Command headquarters from Colorado to Alabama. Space Command oversees US military operations in space; the Space Force supplies troops and training to Space Command. Politicians in Colorado and Alabama have been fighting to host the official headquarters for years.
   
   The decision comes as Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a Republican, has delayed hundreds of routine military promotions in protest of the Pentagon's policy of paying for service members' out-of-state abortion travel. Tuberville on Monday said the decision "looks like blatant patronage politics."
   
   The White House said that the decision is unrelated to Tuberville's protest or Alabama's abortion ban. Space Command Gen. James Dickinson said relocating the headquarters "would jeopardize military readiness." Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall previously described the relocation decision as up to him, but the decision was reportedly made by Biden himself: experts told Military.com that the seemingly unilateral move is unusual.
