The U.S. will buy 100 million additional shots of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine—doubling its initial order of the vaccine. The expanded order would ensure continuous vaccine delivery through the end of June 2021, at a total cost of $3.2 billion. Moderna’s vaccine will be evaluated by an expert FDA panel on Dec. 17.

OPINION: A Long Winter Ahead Despite Good COVID-19 News. During the holiday season, it is sobering to think the more Americans are expected to die each day for the next two months then on 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. We must battle through the coronavirus fatigue and keep up with the health protocols that have shaped our lives since March—wearing a mask, continuously washing your hands, staying in our bubbles this Holiday season—in order to lessen the deaths of loved ones and those in our community. But the availability of a vaccine does feel like the beginning of the end for New Jersey in its battle against the coronavirus. North-JerseyNews.com

Gov. Phil Murphy reaffirmed New Jersey will continue to allow indoor dining at restaurants with capacity limits and a 10 p.m. curfew despite plans from neighboring New York City and Pennsylvania to close those businesses amid surging coronavirus cases. Murphy said the only thing that would change his mind is if the number of people hospitalized spikes to a level that’s putting significant strain on New Jersey’s 71 hospitals. NJ.com

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a bid by Texas and other Republican-led states to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory, seemingly dashing President Donald Trump’s last-ditch hope that the justices effectively hand him a second term. In a brief order Dec. 11, the Justices summarily refused the unusual case Texas filed against four swing states whose voters favored Biden. “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections,” the court wrote in its unsigned order.

The Electoral College, meeting in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, will formally cast votes Dec. 14 for President. Vermont and Indiana, at 10 a.m. local time, will be among the earliest states to convene electors, while Hawaii won’t start its process until nine hours later. President-elect Joe Biden received 306 electoral votes after the votes were cast in the U.S. compared with President Donald Trump’s 232. The Wall Street Journal

An $823.6 million full funding grant agreement to construct a new Portal North Bridge reached its final hurdle when the Federal Transit Administration submitted it to Congress for a 30-day review.

A newly-released report from the New Jersey Autonomous Vehicle Task Force has provided what Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean says maps “the road ahead” for bringing driverless vehicles to the state in a smart and safe way.

State regulators are seeking to suspend the liquor licenses of four bars and restaurants in North Jersey for violating public safety protocols during the pandemic. Bars and restaurants cited were Graystone Inn in Little Falls (40-day suspension sought), Eddy’s Bar & Liquors in Bayonne (15 days), Wicked Wolf in Hoboken (10 days) and Reilly’s Bar & Grill in Kearny (30 days).

New Jersey lawmakers advanced a bill to prevent cops from facing demotion, discipline or pay cuts because they didn’t arrest more people. A department would be barred from considering the number of arrests made or citations issued when evaluating an officer’s overall performance, under a proposal unanimously approved by the State Senate Law and Public Safety Committee. Current law allows those statistics to be one of the factors considered when officials weigh promotions, demotions, dismissals, discipline and salaries. NJ.com

Police and protesters collided outside the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack over the weekend as demonstrators rallied in support of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees on a hunger strike inside the jail.

Sexual assault victims would get copies of police reports, notification when prosecutors are filing charges against their assailants and a chance at an alternative form of “restorative justice” should they decide not to report the crime to authorities, under a package of bills the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee approved Dec. 14. Additionally, the Senate panel approved a bill that would expand who may file a sexual harassment complaint if they work for state government or another state entity to include employees, interns, volunteers and members of any state agency or gubernatorial transition office or person doing business with the state.
