Brown, who has consistently ripped Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris , teased the possible gig this week after CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins was announced as the network's new Chief White House Correspondent. On Wednesday, the ex-Steelers receiver responded an X post that shared the Collins news and wrote, 'See you at the White House' with an eyeball emoji. Brown's reply was then swiftly deleted. The White House has not announced anything regarding a potential employment of Brown. Former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump He teased a possible White House role on X on Wednesday before quickly deleting his post It's also possible that Brown - who previously posted pictures of Tom Brady 's ex-wife Gisele Bundchen hugging him on social media - could simply be making a lewd comment on Collins' appearance. However, he previously told DailyMail.com that he was serious about taking a job in Trump's administration if he was offered one. Brown claimed he would do whatever was needed to help Trump a success, from a job in the White House to becoming an elected representative. 'I'd be the man in the office,' he said, when asked what sort of job he would like to do. 'The House of Representatives or something.' Brown attended a Trump rally and led a voter registration drive at a tailgate party - both in Pittsburgh - before the 78-year-old was ultimately elected as president for a second time. At one point during the rally, Brown and former Steelers teammate Le'Veon Bell both appeared onstage next to Trump. While the election took place more than three weeks ago, Brown has continued to take aim at Vice President Harris.

Brown - like other conservative voices - questioned whether Harris was sober in the video. 'I swear to drunk I'm not God,' Brown wrote next to a screengrab of Harris looking especially emotional and bleary-eyed.

Unai Emery knows Champions League top-eight spot is possible for Aston VillaNEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes drifted lower Tuesday in the runup to the highlight of the week for the market, the latest update on inflation that’s coming on Wednesday. The S&P 500 dipped 0.3%, a day after pulling back from its latest all-time high . They’re the first back-to-back losses for the index in nearly a month, as momentum slows following a big rally that has it on track for one of its best years of the millennium . The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 154 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.3%. Tech titan Oracle dragged on the market and sank 6.7% after reporting growth for the latest quarter that fell just short of analysts’ expectations. It was one of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500, even though CEO Safra Catz said the company saw record demand related to artificial-intelligence technology for its cloud infrastructure business, which trains generative AI models. AI has been a big source of growth that’s helped many companies’ stock prices skyrocket. Oracle’s stock had already leaped more than 80% for the year coming into Tuesday, which raised the bar of expectations for its profit report. In the bond market, Treasury yields ticked higher ahead of Wednesday’s report on the inflation that U.S. consumers are feeling. Economists expect it to show similar increases as the month before. Wednesday’s update and a report on Thursday about inflation at the wholesale level will be the final big pieces of data the Federal Reserve will get before its meeting next week, where many investors expect the year’s third cut to interest rates . The Fed has been easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high since September to take pressure off the slowing jobs market, after bringing inflation nearly down to its 2% target. Lower rates would help give support to the economy, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. Expectations for a series of cuts through next year have been a big reason the S&P 500 has set so many records this year. Trading in the options market suggests traders aren’t expecting a very big move for U.S. stocks following Wednesday’s report, according to strategists at Barclays. But a reading far off expectations in either direction could quickly change that. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.22% from 4.20% late Monday. Even though the Fed has been cutting its main interest rate, mortgage rates have been more stubborn to stay high and have been volatile since the autumn. That has hampered the housing industry, and homebuilder Toll Brothers’ stock fell 6.9% even though it delivered profit and revenue for the latest quarter that topped analysts’ expectations. CEO Douglas Yearley Jr. said the luxury builder has been seeing strong demand since the start of its fiscal year six weeks ago, an encouraging signal as it approaches the beginning of the spring selling season in mid-January. Elsewhere on Wall Street, Alaska Air Group soared 13.2% after raising its forecast for profit in the current quarter. The airline said demand for flying around the holidays has been stronger than expected. It also approved a plan to buy back up to $1 billion of its stock, along with new service from Seattle to Tokyo and Seoul . Boeing climbed 4.5% after saying it’s resuming production of its bestselling plane , the 737 Max, for the first time since 33,000 workers began a seven-week strike that ended in early November. Vail Resorts rose 2.5% after the ski resort operator reported a smaller first-quarter loss than analysts expected in what is traditionally its worst quarter. All told, the S&P 500 fell 17.94 points to 6,034.91. The Dow dipped 154.10 to 44,247.83, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 49.45 to 19,687.24. In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in China after the world’s second-largest economy said its exports rose by less than expected in November. Stocks rose 0.6% in Shanghai but fell 0.5% in Hong Kong. Indexes fell across much of Europe ahead of a meeting this week by the European Central Bank, where the widespread expectation is for another cut in interest rates.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday announced its first list of 11 candidates for the Delhi Assembly election scheduled for February next year. Both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress are yet to announce their candidates. Out of the 11 candidates, six had switched to the ruling party in the last two months, three each from the BJP and the Congress. The party has dropped three of its sitting MLAs. The names were announced after a meeting of AAP’s political affairs committee, the highest decision-making body of the party, which is headed by party national convener Arvind Kejriwal. AAP has been in power in Delhi since 2015 and had won 67 of the 70 seats in the 2015 Assembly poll and 62 seats in the 2020 poll. ‘Set to launch campaign’ Addressing mediapersons, AAP Delhi convener Gopal Rai said, “With the announcement of candidates, AAP has now geared up to accelerate its campaign for the Assembly election. Starting today, AAP is preparing to launch a massive campaign across the city. The details will be shared soon.” Mr. Rai said AAP remains confident that under the leadership of Mr. Kejriwal, the people will re-elect the party in the election to continue the momentum of progress and development in the Capital. The AAP leader said the candidates were announced early as eight of these 11 constituencies currently do not have AAP MLAs. “To strengthen its campaign in these areas, the party has prioritised them in the first list.” The BJP and the Congress targeted AAP over giving tickets to leaders from other parties who had joined it as recently as Sunday. The BJP said six candidates being entrants from other parties showed that AAP is scared of “anti-incumbency”. The Congress alleged that Mr. Kejriwal was desperate to save his party as three of the 11 candidates in the first list were “Congress discards”.

Victor Wembanyama plays 1-on-1 chess with fans in New YorkBEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have again restructured quarterback Deshaun Watson’s massive contract to create salary-cap space and give them future flexibility, a person familiar with the move told The Associated Press on Friday. Watson has been limited to just 19 games in three seasons because of an NFL suspension and injuries with the Browns, who signed him to a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract in 2022. The restructuring allows the team to spread out the salary-cap hit after the 2026 season, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team does not disclose contract specifics. The 29-year-old Watson has two years remaining on his contract with an average of $46 million a year. The move to restructure his deal will not preclude the Browns from adding talent at the quarterback position in 2025, the person said. Watson played in only seven games this season before suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon. He’s 9-10 as a starter with Cleveland. The Browns (3-12) have been a major disappointment this season after making it to the playoffs a year ago behind Joe Flacco, who was signed as a free agent after Watson suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. Watson had surgery in October and is expected to make a full recovery. While the team hasn’t disclosed its plans at quarterback, it’s assumed Watson will be in the mix to be the starter next season. It’s also possible the Browns will draft a quarterback in the first round. The team hasn’t had a first-round pick the past three years after trading three to the Houston Texans to acquire Watson, who was once considered one of the league’s elite QBs. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Former international student Simrat Kaur remembers the slogan Canada used to advertise its international education abroad: Study, explore, work and stay . And it wasn’t too long ago that she heard former Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino on TV praising foreign students’ contributions to Canada during the pandemic and pleading for them to remain in the country. “This was the Canadian dream we were sold,” Kaur recalled. “To quote (Mendicino), ‘W e don’t just want you to study here, we want you to stay here,’ and so we stayed.” At a news conference Wednesday, Kaur shared her frustration over the perceived betrayal by the Canadian government, joining a chorus of trade union leaders to call on Ottawa to extend the students’ expiring work permits and provide them with a pathway for permanent residence. Last month, the federal government unveiled a three-year immigration level plan that will reduce the annual intake of permanent residents by 21 per cent to 395,000 next year, 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027. It will also slash the temporary population including international students and foreign workers to 445,901 in 2025 and to 445,662 in 2026 but will increase it modestly by 17,439 in 2027. The reduced targets are meant to achieve a population decline of 0.2 per cent in each of the next two years before returning to a population growth of 0.8 per cent in 2027. The plan is also predicated on the assumption that 1,262,801 temporary residents would leave the country voluntarily next year, and another 1,104,658 in 2026. The fewer permanent resident spots and the push to enforce removals of those running out of status, said Kaur, leave temporary residents with no choice. Desperate migrants try to buy time by transitioning to visitor visas, being duped into buying fake job offers for new work permits, re-enrolling in school and, for some, seeking baseless asylum. Many of the students’ families have sold their land, borrowed money and got into debt to pursue their Canadian dreams. “This has been devastating for us,” said Kaur. Jessica Cooper, president of the Peel local of Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario, criticized the treatment of international students and migrant workers as disposable labour, and their being scapegoated for the country’s affordability and housing crisis. “To blame international students and immigrant workers for this crisis is both racist and irresponsible,” said Cooper. Cooper’s union is one of 50 trade unions, labour organizations and community groups that have signed onto a statement to support the campaign by the Naujawan Support Network, a grassroots advocacy group for migrant students and workers. Bob Punia, president of the Ontario Dump Truck Association, said the industry relies on a skilled and diverse workforce to keep the economy moving, and said international graduates have been an integral part of addressing the labour shortages. “We need these individuals,” he said. “It’s not something that you can turn off and turn on. Once they are gone, it’s very hard to bring other individuals into the industry.”Davis scores 15, Southern Illinois knocks off Florida Tech 81-54

CHICAGO — When the Chicago Bears threatened to score in the closing minutes of a 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, fans expressed their feelings loud and clear. They weren't cheering for a touchdown or field goal. They had something else in mind. "Sell the team!" they chanted. With their skid at 10 games, a season that started with playoff hopes can't end soon enough for the Bears (4-12). They will wrap it up when they visit the rival Green Bay Packers on Jan. 5. "My job is to go out there and win games," quarterback Caleb Williams said. "And we don't focus on the outside noise. The fans are going to cheer and maybe boo sometimes. And you can't react to that. It's not something that we react to." Chicago is 14-36 in three seasons under general manager Ryan Poles and has two double-digit losing streaks. People are also reading... The Bears dropped their fina 10 in 2022 when they were tanking as part of a franchise-record 14-game skid that stretched into last year. They've never lost more than 10 in a row in a single season. The slide was at six games when they fired former coach Matt Eberflus the day after a loss at Detroit on Thanksgiving, following a series of poor late-game decisions. They're 0-4 under interim coach Thomas Brown, and they've been dominated by Green Bay in recent decades. What's working The defense. A defense that has gone from ranking seventh in yards per game through the first six weeks to 25th did its part against Seattle. The six points allowed were a season-low and the 265 yards the Bears gave up were their second-lowest. "As we know, our defense has a certain standard and we've showed it," cornerback Kyler Gordon said. "So, obviously syncing a little bit. Just getting back on the guys to get back right. It's just important to know what we can do and just go in there and execute." What needs help Pass protection. Williams was sacked seven times, bringing his NFL-leading total and individual franchise record to 67. The Bears broke their previous mark of 66 sacks allowed in 2004, when they used four quarterbacks. Their issues on the offensive line are well-documented. And so is Williams' tendency to hold onto the ball too long, resulting in unnecessary sacks. "There were miscues," Williams said. "There were stupid sacks that I was taking, losing 10, 14 yards, which is frustrating. But I will say that I will definitely take the heat for this one just because (of) some of the situations that I put us in." Stock up DE Montez Sweat. The Bears gave up 53 yards rushing on Seattle's game-opening field-goal drive. But the line performed better after that. Sweat picked up his first sack since Week 12 against Minnesota on the first play of Seattle's second possession, when he took down Geno Smith for an 8-yard loss. Though he's only missed one game, Sweat has been slowed by ankle and shin injuries. His 51⁄2 sacks are a big drop from last season, when he had a combined 121⁄2 for Washington and Chicago while becoming the first NFL player to lead two teams in the same season. Stock down Williams.Coming off a promising outing against NFC leader Detroit that followed some shaky outings, Williams had a rough night. The No. 1 overall draft pick completed 16 of 28 passes for 122 yards — not much more than his low of 93 in a Week 1 win over Tennessee — after throwing for 334 yards and two touchdowns against the Lions. The seven sacks for 46 yards both matched his second-highest totals. Injuries The Bears reported no injuries during the game. Key number 5 — The Bears once again had trouble sustaining drives, converting just 5 of 15 third downs and punting on seven of their 10 possessions. They tied a season low with 11 first downs and managed 179 yards. Chicago owns the NFL's second-worst third-down conversion rate at 31.8% and is averaging a league-worst 287.3 yards per game. Next steps The Bears have lost 11 straight against the Packers — the longest streak by either team in the storied rivalry — and 26 of 29 counting the playoffs. They've dropped eight in a row at Lambeau Field since a win in 2015.
