1. The House passed the Heroes Act back in May. It sat ignored by Mitch for months - then he handled over negotiations to the WH (Mnuchin). Finally, a relief package may be coming - with stimulus checks for how much money (to individuals making up to $75k) - and this is before Trump threatened to veto it Tuesday night while granting very noble pardons of grace and mercy?

2. Speaking of money, how much money did a dad who passed away 6 years ago leave for his then-underage son, so that when he turned 21, he could have his first beer - like we all do at 21 years old?

3. In international news, word came out recently that pro-democracy Russian activist Alexei Navalny was not poisoned (presumably by the Putin regime) via his tea as previously thought (and done to other Putin enemies) but by poison placed in what article of his clothing?

4. On Monday, for a very brief moment after sunset (around here), you could have seen the Christmas Star or the Star of Bethlehem, which was last seen in 1226. This is when Jupiter and Saturn appear close in the sky. What is the two word name for this - abbreviated GC?

5. Listen to this excerpt from a new movie trailer that was released on Tuesday - what movie is it for?
