An Alabama A&M football player who suffered a head injury during a game last month has died, a coroner’s office official said on Friday. Medrick Burnett Jr., 20, was hurt Oct. 26 when the Bulldogs took on Alabama State in an annual gridiron game known as the Magic City Classic. The redshirt freshman linebacker played in seven games this season after transferring to Alabama A&M from Grambling. Burnett was pronounced dead on Wednesday, said AJ Clifton, a deputy coroner with the Jefferson County Coroner/Medical Examiner Office. University officials on Wednesday issued a retraction after erroneously declaring in a statement Burnett had died.

☆ ‘Moana 2’-led Thanksgiving box office could be best in post-pandemic era
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-29 | by ( Sarah Whitten | Whitten Is A Social Media Writer For Cnbc. | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +3 min

The domestic box office is poised for its biggest Thanksgiving haul since the pandemic thanks to a Polynesian princess, a pair of witches and a revenge-fueled gladiator. Disney’s “Moana 2” hit theaters Wednesday and is expected to generate between $120 million and $150 million in box office receipts in the U.S. and Canada through Sunday. The second-highest haul for the holiday period was the $294.2 million secured during the same five-day period in 2013. After ruling the Thanksgiving box office for years with titles from Pixar and Disney Animation, it’s failed to live up to expectations with its recent string of releases. In 2016, “Moana” opened over the Thanksgiving holiday, generating $82.1 million.

Two tax preparers have been charged with defrauding the federal government of $65 million in Covid relief funds, according to federal prosecutors in Tennessee. Walton owns and operates R&B Tax Express in Moscow, Tennessee, where she and Jones allegedly "falsified numbers provided to the IRS on personal and business tax returns from 2020 through 2024." The U.S. Attorney's office did not specify the amount of money the clients paid to Walton and Jones. The Employee Retention Credit is a refundable tax credit for certain eligible businesses and organizations that had employees and were affected during the pandemic. Walton faces 20 years for her sole obstruction of justice count, prosecutors said.

Most of Connecticut's congressional delegation said they were the subject of bomb threats Thursday at their homes as they were preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving, although no bombs ultimately were found. "On Thanksgiving, Senator Murphy’s home in Hartford was the target of a bomb threat, which appears to be part of a coordinated effort involving multiple members of Congress and public figures," a spokesperson said in a statement. Similarly, Himes said in a statement on X that he was notified Thursday morning about a bomb threat targeting his home, though police found "no evidence of a bomb." Capitol Police said in January that it investigated more than 8,000 incidents involving threats to members of Congress last year, including "concerning statements and direct threats." Several of President-elect Donald Trump's planned administration officials were targeted with bomb and "swatting" threats Tuesday and Wednesday.

CNN —Three Palestinians, including two children and a woman, were crushed to death on Friday while in line at a bakery in central Gaza amid a worsening food crisis in the enclave, according to Palestinian hospital officials. Al Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, said it received the three casualties. Bakery lines have become sites of desperation and overcrowding as Palestinians fight to find food for themselves and their family. Hunger has mounted in the Strip as the food crisis worsens during Israel’s ongoing intense military operation in the north. Four hours, and I still can’t bring bread home,” Gaza resident Karam Afali told CNN outside the same bakery where the three Palestinians died.

He linked the tariffs to what he said was the need to curb the inflow of drugs and undocumented immigrants. The S&P 500 rose 0.6 percent on Friday, closing at a new high of 6,032.38, at 1 p.m., after a day off for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was the last trading day of November, and the index rose 5.7 percent for the month, according to FactSet. That continued a surge that began even before the election, when Wall Street began to predict that Mr. Trump would win. His proposals for cutting taxes and easing the regulatory burden on businesses have been greeted with enthusiasm in the markets.

☆ Will the Markets Check Trump’s Power?
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-29 | by ( Jeff Sommer | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The president-elect follows the markets closely. Since Election Day, a great deal of financial analysis has been devoted to one central question: How will the new Trump administration affect the markets? But another important question isn’t being asked as frequently: To what extent can the markets serve as a check on the power of the president? Given this vacuum, it’s reasonable to wonder whether the markets will play an outsize role. Yes, in a tenuous and unpredictable way, the markets are likely to influence the next administration’s decision-making and, occasionally, serve as a check on some of Mr. Trump’s most immoderate behavior.

Deep in the canyons of New York’s financial district, there is an office tower that matches the cultural moment, for better and for worse. Known as the WSA building (short for Water Street Associates), the 31-story structure, at 175 Water Street, has become a nexus for the kind of people who might not otherwise set foot in this neighborhood of bankers and brokers. Built in 1983, the tower was the longtime global headquarters of the insurance giant A.I.G. sold the building for about $270 million in 2019, it sat all but empty during much of the pandemic, when scores of companies, including A.I.G., left the financial district. In late 2022, an LLC under the name 99c bought the building for $252 million and announced a bold plan to “reinvent” the property.

☆ ‘Wildly disruptive’: What happened last time Trump moved a federal agency out of DC
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-29 | by ( Curt Devine | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +13 min

That western relocation was “wildly disruptive” and should serve as a “cautionary tale” for the incoming Trump administration, said Tracy Stone-Manning, the Biden administration’s BLM director. Project 2025, a conservative blueprint written by dozens of former Trump administration officials, recommended returning the BLM headquarters to the West. Most BLM staffers already worked in states outside of DC, but a disproportionate level of senior staffers worked in the nation’s capital. But an inspector general report later found that Trump administration officials had misled Congress in statements about the relocation. Future efforts to move federal offices out of DC could lead more federal workers to unionize.

"It's very hard being a millennial and having to worry about buying a house, affording groceries, rent, all that stuff. Meanwhile, Trump voter Armando Duarte, a 62-year-old retired utility worker from Fort Lee, New Jersey, told CNBC he's feeling a lot better about the holiday shopping season since Trump won. In GOP-won states, shipping volumes increased by 50.4% after the election, while Democrat-won states saw volumes decrease by an average of 11.2%.
