So, with only one game left in the season against the Maryland Terapins, what will it take for the offensive line to prove that they can be good for next season and be reliable for freshman quarterback Alessio Milivojevic? MSU's offensive line is on its last chance to…...

14+ hour, 54+ min ago (1545+ words) November 28, 2025, 10:40 PM (CNN) " President Donald Trump is blaming the Biden administration for this week's shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC, in part by insisting that the suspect, a 29-year-old Afghan, was among millions of foreigners Biden allowed into the US without proper vetting. Details about the alleged shooter's background, including his previous work for the CIA in Afghanistan, and conversations with sources familiar with the vetting process, paint a far more complicated picture.

Trump officials have suggested a breakdown in vetting is likely tied to the attack, while the president is already using it as a reason to further…...
