3:15pm- On a recent episode of The Journal podcast, New Hampshire voters revealed that they are changing their party affiliation from Democrat to Republican prior to the state’s January 23rd primary.

6:10pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “A regional director at the NLRB last week charged SpaceX with retaliating against employees who wrote an open letter criticizing Mr. [Elon] Musk. The complaint alleged that the company unfairly barred workers from discussing the letter and ‘created an impression of surveillance’ by ‘showing employees screen shots of communications between employees.’ SpaceX responded with a lawsuit in federal court arguing that the board’s structure and administrative trials are unconstitutional. The suit leans in part on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’s SEC v. Jarkesy precedent. The Supreme Court heard the Securities and Exchange Commission’s appeal in the case in November, and a decision is expected by June.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/spacex-lawsuit-national-labor-relations-board-elon-musk-5b434f10?mod=opinion_lead_pos3
