I want to be clear: without congressional
action, by the end of the year we will run
out of resources to procure more weapons
and equipment for Ukraine and to provide
equipment from U.S. military stocks, Shalanda Young, Office of Management and Budget Director, via NBC.
There is no magical pot of funding
available to meet this moment, Shalanda Young, Office of Management and Budget Director, via NBC.
According to Young, failing to provide aid would , “kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield, not only putting
at risk the gains Ukraine has made, but increasing
the likelihood of Russian military victories.”.
Young reportedly urged congressional
leaders to approve the Biden administration's
supplemental spending request. .
I must stress that helping Ukraine
defend itself and secure its future
as a sovereign, democratic, independent,
and prosperous nation advances
our national security interests, Shalanda Young, Office of Management and Budget Director, via NBC.
It prevents larger conflict in the region
that could involve NATO and put U.S.
forces in harm’s way and deters
future aggression, making us all safer, Shalanda Young, Office of Management and Budget Director, via NBC.
Young's letter to Congress comes amid
a deadlock among lawmakers over ongoing
U.S. support for both Ukraine and Israel.

Wolverines Threatened With Extinction , Receive Federal Protection.
On November 29, the Biden administration
released a proposal to give the North American
wolverine long-delayed federal protections.
ABC News reports that the proposal comes following warnings by scientists that climate change is likely
to destroy the rare species' snowy mountain habitat.
By the early 1900s, wolverines had been mostly
wiped out across the U.S. as a result of
unregulated hunting and poisoning campaigns.
An estimated 300 surviving wolverines continue
to live in the contiguous U.S. in isolated groups at
high elevations in the northern Rocky Mountains.
Increasing temperatures are expected
to reduce the mountain snowpack, which
wolverines rely on to birth and raise their cubs.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's decision to protect
wolverines comes after over two decades of debate
regarding threats to the species' long-term survival.
According to officials, the new protections are , “due primarily to the ongoing and increasing
impacts of climate change and associated
habitat degradation and fragmentation.”.
ABC reports that wolverines, which resemble
small bears, are the world's largest
species of terrestrial weasels.
A 2020 lawsuit against the Fish and Wildlife Service claimed
that wolverines face extinction due to a combination of
climate change, habitat loss and low genetic diversity. .
Scientists have suggested that some of the species'
losses could be offset if wolverines are allowed to
recolonize in areas like California's Sierra Nevada
