It’s a holiday movie to watch when you want darkness at Christmas.

This is the statement from Michigan’s interim president and the key section. “When the findings of a University investigation into Coach Moore's behavior were presented on Wednesday, we immediately terminated his employment.” president.umich.edu/news-communi...

Indiana is our neighbor and we like it when neighbors act neighborly.

A few weeks ago, there were rumors around Ann Arbor that Sherrone Moore’s job was in jeopardy. It turns out there was something to them. www.mlive.com/wolverines/2...

Legally, he doesn’t have a role. But that didn’t stop him - or Biden for that matter. He resurrected the Nippon Steel deal for US Steel after Biden essentially vetoed it.

CFP is a joke.

In Chicago, a city of 2.74 million, ICE arrested about 3,200 people. Many have been let go and lawsuits filed to free others. Now, ICE aims to arrest 5,000 people in New Orleans, which has 384,000 people. There will not be anyone left to get anything done.

Hopefully @npr.org is paying attention and will update this.

This is bad for multiple reasons. 1) There are germs right in the hospital. Newborns need all possible protection. 2) Spacing out shots means as many babies won’t get shots - and they need the full course. 3) If they get sick, it can kill them.

Also, CNN isn’t ready to be sold yet. More shoes will drop.

Re Pantone’s color of the year: is white a color?

Adam’s Rib was partly filmed on location in NYC and it is fascinating to see buildings that are still there.

Make sure you are following @notmrtibbs.com as he tracks HOF voting. If ARod gets in, his image rehab will be complete.

And now, ICE comes to New Orleans. People don’t realize how important immigrants are to keeping things rolling there. Well, they are about to find out.

You know that Fed data showing record wealth among the top 1%? They don’t want to eat with us. And even private clubs aren’t exclusive enough for some people. My latest story for @foodandwine.com www.foodandwine.com/members-only...

Remember that bs about $2 gas prices? They do not exist. This is BTS own chart for November. And look at diesel prices.

Exactly my thought: he hurled Admiral Bradley in front of a freight train. Let’s see who prevails.

Michigan ends the season 9-3. They lost to Oklahoma, USC and Ohio State.

Ohio State leads Michigan 17-9 at halftime. Snowing lightly, more on the way.

“I asked you politely to stop kicking my seat. Several times, in fact. The kicking continued.”

Honestly, send the Guard troops home. Everywhere.

The answer is sugar. I had to cut way back because my A1C was getting too high. I am much better physically now, but depressed as hell. (Could also be my fears for the future of journalism.)

Something people have always feared.

People: there is no healthcare proposal. There wasn’t one in his first term. There is not one now.

Condolences to the Mets fans. This has to hurt.

If Russia had issued that peace plan, everyone would have dismissed it as ludicrous. So it pawned it off on the U.S., where everyone immediately knew it was from Russia. Now, two countries look ludicrous. It was the BOGO of peace plans.

What a shame. How many times have we all been right there and never gave a second thought to our safety?

I was honored to be included in the Women Who Lead class of 2025. www.wjr.com/2025/11/20/w...

Remember back in 2005, when Larry Summers made derogatory comments about women in STEM fields? Thirteen years later, he asked Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly for romantic advice. And this man ran your beloved Harvard. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

I’m amazed and also sad at the number of 1990-2000s bold faced names who associated with him. It seems more rare to find someone who didn’t.

Some pig

A W is a W but what a mess. Michigan 24 Northwestern 22.

22-21 Northwestern in the 4th. Ouch.

21-9 Michigan in the 4th quarter.

14-9. Come on Michigan.

They heard me 14-6 in the 3rd.

This has not been Michigan football’s finest hour.

Enjoy this gift link to my 2010 @nytimes.com story about converting Wrigley Field to college football. Northwestern and Michigan play there today (with some updates). www.nytimes.com/2010/11/20/s...

A basic tenet of journalism is that we do not give advice to sources on how to deal with professional and personal matters. If you are going to do that, set up a consulting business.

One of the things I was told as an NYT staffer was to be very careful what I said to sources in emails. Once you sent an email, it was out of your hands and could be shared with anyone. Latest example: this week.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Send up a prayer for the plasterers who will have to remove all that gold. Sooner or later.

Nous nous souvenons toujours.

SNAP UPDATE: the State of Michigan has told SNAP recipients that deposits will resume within 48 hours. These benefits cover people who are normally are paid on the 9th and 11th. All other recipients will receive benefits on their normal days. Source: MIBridges

As noted farther down in the story, the pardons are largely symbolic. They do not affect state charges. But, that probably wouldn’t generate as much traffic.

It’s pretty simple. One side has hearts. The other side doesn’t. That doesn’t mean you lose all sympathy. It does mean you must understand how they operate, and respond on that basis.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Here is a map of SNAP percentages by state. Lots of his voters. Will this mess ultimately end the shutdown?
