that point we need to stand up and either say we support this or not. maureen: kaine has joined other senate democrats opposing the appointment of steve bannon as a member of the white house staff. the letter yesterday cited bannon's ties to the alt-right movement. democrats in the house sent a similar letter to president-elect trump today. jonathan: coming up next at 6:00, all it takes is a little drop to help catch a criminal. the local county that is unveiling new many to fight back against crime -- forensic tool to help fight back against crime. maureen: the timing of the first taste of winter in chief meteorologist doug hill's complete forecast. robert: i'm robert burton with sports. terps and the hoyas gave us another game to remember but do the coaches want the rivalry to continue or is it completed?
