The top 2 headlines on WSJ, NYTimes, AP, Reuters, and Newsnations are about Trump imposing Tariffs on Canada and Mexico as well as stopping Ukraine Aid. This is big news no matter where you fall.
Guess who doesn't have a story on this - Fox News.

Ugh. Not good.
The Bay Area weather radar (KMUX) has been out of service for more than 24 hours now. An expensive broken part needs to be replaced and specially ordered, but that may not be possible due to ongoing freeze on government credit card spending, I’ve been told.

The Giants broke up the Rogers twins. They found a taker for half of Taylor Rogers' $12 million salary. It does not sound as if they are clearing space for another roster investment. www.nytimes.com/athletic/609...
Giants are unlikely to reinvest savings after shipping Taylor Rogers to Reds
The Giants will save $6 million by trading Rogers but aren't expected to spend that money on external additions this offseason.

The #49ers had the ball four times in the second half with the chance to move within one score of the Packers.
None of those drives ended in points.
Missed opportunities, penalties, turnovers. The story of a season that looks to be heading towards an early end.

Failure to shake off same old problems dooms 49ers in Week 12, and maybe for the season
