There may be some good news on the horizon for small business owners, courtesy of Congress. A bipartisan group of lawmakers recently introduced a pair of bills that could make it easier for entrepreneurs to patent certain lifesaving inventions and fend off thieves looking to steal their technology.

On Nov. 18, SpaceX attempted another launch that ended in another rocket explosion. According to Texas Public Radio, the Super Heavy rocket caused an earthquake that was felt up to an hour away from the launch facility at Boca Chica Beach.

Waves of support have swept across the Rio Grande Valley for Brownsville Memorial Early College High School High as it has advanced through the Texas UIL football playoffs. The team won in dramatic fashion at home against Corpus Christi Miller last week, winning 35-28 in the final minutes after trailing 28-7 with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
