CNN —President-elect Donald Trump said he would require countries that are part of BRICS — a China- and Russia-backed group of emerging economies — to commit to not creating new currency or face 100% tariffs during his administration. “The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER. BRICS had been made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa since 2011. The leader of one member country, Brazil’s Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in 2023 proposed creating a common currency in South America to reduce reliance on the US dollar. Using BRICS currencies and banking networks outside the US dollar-denominated system could allow member countries such as Russia, China and Iran to circumnavigate Western sanctions.

The Chicago Bears fired coach Matt Eberflus on Friday, less than 24 hours after a series of mental lapses unfolded in the chaotic, final 30 seconds of his team’s Thanksgiving Day loss at Detroit. Eberflus’ sacking followed a meeting with Bears Chairman George McCaskey and team President Kevin Warren, according to General Manager Ryan Poles. "We extend our gratitude for his commitment to the Chicago Bears and wish him and his family the best moving forward.”Warren acknowledged the importance of the head-coaching role and emphasized the team's commitment to its fans. Eberflus opted against calling his third and final timeout at that moment. The Thanksgiving Day disaster in Detroit came a month after the Bears lost to the Washington Commanders, 18-15, when Jayden Daniels connected with Noah Brown on a 52-yard Hail Mary as time expired.

CNN —The Chicago Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus following the team’s disastrous Thanksgiving day loss to the Detroit Lions to extend its losing streak to six games. With 32 seconds left in the game and one timeout remaining, the Bears needed a field goal to force overtime. Instead, Eberflus watched the seconds tick off the clock without calling a timeout, and the Bears only managed to get one play off before the clock ran out. After the calamitous ending to the game, Eberflus said he was “taking the blame” but defended his handling of the situation. Earlier this month, Brown was elevated to offensive coordinator following the firing of Shane Waldron.

It would be another 12 years before the NCAA made a major revision to its rules on transgender athletes. The Independent Council on Women’s Sports is financing a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA over its policy on transgender women athletes. Those pushing for acceptance of trans athletes in competitive sports argue there is no evidence showing transgender women have an advantage. But the rules of World Aquatics bar transgender athletes from competition unless they have not experienced biological puberty. And like cisgender athletes, trans athlete’s abilities vary.

It’s misinformation about autism and mass injury that doctors and public health officials have disproven over and over again. Less attention has focused on the CDC, a public health agency Kennedy has long vilified in speeches and writings. In his 2017 speech, Kennedy criticized ACIP as a group of self-interested actors who base decisions on financial gain instead of public health. “The people who are on ACIP are not public health advocates,” he said. “We would know the answer to that question if we were given access to the vaccine safety database, but they’ve hidden it,” Kennedy said.

☆ Trump made unprecedented inroads in Silicon Valley this election

Silicon Valley, long considered a progressive stronghold, has begun to shift toward Donald Trump, according to new voting data analyzed by Business Insider. These numbers show that Trump and Republicans are still a long way off from gaining any real majorities in Silicon Valley. While Elon Musk is based in Texas these days, many of his companies, including Tesla, are still very active in Silicon Valley. Trump, with Musk in support, has promised to cut regulations, which could help Silicon Valley startups grow more quickly. The trend toward Trump in the Silicon Valley electorate mirrors statewide and national trends.
