NDP won’t support Liberal $250 rebate plan unless eligibility expanded: SinghFive-star center Chris Cenac Jr. commits to HoustonBARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Tens of thousands of Spaniards marched in downtown Barcelona on Saturday to protest the skyrocketing cost of renting an apartment in the popular tourist destination. Protesters cut off traffic on main avenues in the city center, holding up homemade signs in Spanish reading “Fewer apartments for investing and more homes for living" and “The people without homes uphold their rights.” The lack of affordable housing has become one of the leading concerns for the southern European Union country, mirroring the housing crunch across many parts of the world, including the United States . Organizers said that over 100,000 had turned out, while Barcelona’s police said they estimated some 22,000 marched. Either way, the throngs of people clogging the streets recalled the massive separatist rallies at the heigh of the previous decade’s Catalan independence movement. Now, social concerns led by housing have displaced political crusades. That is because the average rent for Spain has doubled in last 10 years. The price per square meter has risen from 7.2 euros ($7.5) in 2014 to 13 euros this year, according to the popular online real estate website Idealista. The growth is even more acute in cities like Barcelona and Madrid. Incomes meanwhile have failed to keep up, especially for younger people in a country with chronically high unemployment. Protestor Samuel Saintot said he is “frustrated and scared” after being told by the owners of the apartment he has rented for the past 15 years in Barcelona’s city center that he must vacate the premises. He suspects that the owners want him out so they can renovate it and boost the price. “Even looking in a 20- or 30-kilometer radius outside town, I can’t even find anything within the price range I can afford,” he told The Associated Press. “And I consider myself a very fortunate person, because I earn a decent salary. And even in my case, I may be forced to leave town.” A report by the Bank of Spain indicates that nearly 40% of Spaniards who rent dedicate an average of 40% of their income to paying rents and utilities, compared to the European Union average of 27% of renters who do so. “We are talking about a housing emergency. It means people having many difficulties both in accessing and staying in their homes,” said Ignasi Martí, professor for Esade business school and head of its Dignified Housing Observatory. The rise in rents is causing significant pain in Spain, where traditionally people seek to own their homes. Rental prices have also been driven up by short-term renters including tourists. Many migrants to Spain are also disproportionately hit by the high rents because they often do not have enough savings. Spain is near the bottom end of OECD countries with under 2% of all housing available being public housing for rent. The OECD average is 7%. Spain is far behind France, with 14%, Britain with 16%, and the Netherlands with 34%. Carme Arcarazo, spokesperson for Barcelona’s Tenants Union which helped organize the protest, said that renters should consider a “rent strike” and cease paying their monthly rents in a mass protest movement. “I think we the tenants have understood that this depends on us. That we can’t keep asking and making demands to the authorities and waiting for an answer. We must take the reins of the situation,” Arcarazo told the AP. “So, if they (the owners) won’t lower the rent, then we will force them to do it." The Barcelona protest came a month after tens of thousands rallied against high rents in Madrid. The rising discontent over housing is putting pressure on Spain’s governing Socialist party, which leads a coalition on the national level and is in charge of Catalonia’s regional government and Barcelona’s city hall. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez presided over what the government termed a “housing summit” including government officials and real estate developers last month. But the Barcelona’s Tenants Union boycotted the event, saying it was like calling a summit for curing cancer and inviting tobacco companies to participate. The leading government measure has been a rent cap mechanism that the central government has offered to regional authorities based on a price index established by the housing ministry. Rent controls can be applied to areas deemed to be “highly stressed” by high rental prices. Catalonia was the first region to apply those caps, which are in place in downtown Barcelona. Many locals blame the million of tourists who visit Barcelona, and the rest of Spain, each year for the high prices. Barcelona’s town hall has pledged to completely eliminate the city’s 10,000 so called “tourist apartments,” or dwellings with permits for short-term rents, by 2028.

Venu Holding Corporation Announces Pricing of its Initial Public OfferingBarcelona's late-game flop at Celta Vigo seemed to be isolated to the final 10 minutes, but Hansi Flick was far more critical of his side than that. The Blaugrana seemed on their way to three points as they led 2-0 late on thanks to goals from the league's Golden Boot leaders Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha. Yet Marc Casado's 82nd-minute red card led to a complete collapse, as Celta Vigo scored in the 84th and 86th minutes to snatch a point. The Barcelona head coach was livid with his side, labeling the entirety of the 90 minutes on the north coast as a disaster. MORE: All the latest soccer news | Barcelona news "Not just the final 10 minutes. I didn’t like the whole performance," Flick told the media in his post-match press conference. "We made too many mistakes. We did not control the ball. We must return to our level." "If we're being honest, it was a very bad match," Flick continued, later labeling their performance as "awful" and saying it wasn't up to regular Barcelona standards. Helena Condis of Spanish publication Cope reported that Flick held a post-match team talk with all Barcelona players in the locker room. Condis stated that Flick was "very angry" with the squad and told them there was "no excuses." MORE: Lewandowski, Raphinha lead La Liga top goal scorer list The German placed the blame on the team's ability to remain focused across the entire 90 minutes, appearing to claim they got complacent as they reached the final stages with a multi-goal lead. "It's all about concentration, you have to focus on the small details," said Flick. "Sometimes they may think it's too easy to win, but that's not how it happens." Multiple players will be frustrated with their performance in the match. Casado is an obvious scapegoal for his careless second yellow, but Jules Kounde's error was to blame for Celta Vigo's first goal and Fermin Lopez and Raphinha both missed big second-half chances to put the game away. At the end of the 90 minutes, Barcelona found themselves significantly out-shot by Celta Vigo who produced 2.60 xG on 15 efforts, putting a whopping eight of them on frame.

Political appointees in foreign service asked to return to ColomboNEW YORK — U.S. stocks rose to records Tuesday after Donald Trump's latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to top the all-time high it set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 123 points, or 0.3%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6% as Microsoft and Big Tech led the way. Stock markets abroad mostly fell after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China once he takes office. But the movements were mostly modest. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada's main index edged down by less than 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs, but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. The consequences otherwise for markets and the global economy could be painful. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. And unlike tariffs in Trump's first term, his latest proposal would affect products across the board. General Motors sank 9%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.3%. The value of the Mexican peso fell 1.8% against the U.S. dollar. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support for the job market. While lower interest rates can boost the economy, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. "Many" officials at the Fed's last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another mixed set of profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They'll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates imposed by the Fed to get inflation under control. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. Kohl's tumbled 17% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts' expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.9% after likewise falling short of analysts' expectations. Dick's Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. Still, more stocks rose in the S&P 500 than fell. J.M. Smucker had one of the biggest gains and climbed 5.7% after topping analysts' expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 3.2% for Amazon and 2.2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 34.26 points to 6,021.63. The Dow gained 123.74 to 44,860.31, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 119.46 to 19,174.30. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump's pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.29% from 4.28% late Monday, but it's still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It's since dipped back toward $91,000, according to CoinDesk. It's a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump's election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed "retail" investors.None
2025 MLB draft prospects: 18 best players led by Ethan Holliday as Nationals win first pick
Senedd agrees 16% budget increase ahead of expansionOutlook for Enbridge Stock in 2025INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts drafted Anthony Richardson to be their franchise quarterback. On Sunday, they saw how he might be deployed most effectively. Richardson threw only 11 passes in Indy’s 38-30 victory over slumping Tennessee , becoming just the third player since 2000 to produce 38 points with fewer than 15 passing attempts. But the second-year quarterback and running back Jonathan Taylor executed the game plan perfectly by combining for 38 carries, 308 yards and four scores. “My job is to pass the ball, deliver the ball, so whenever there’s an opportunity to do so, I’m expected to complete passes, regardless of how long I’ve gone without throwing a pass,” Richardson said. “I’m just trying to do my job the best way I can.” While his stats have not improved dramatically since he regained the starting job, Richardson has made significant progress. He started and finished all five games, the longest stretch of his career. He orchestrated fourth-quarter comebacks on the road against the New York Jets and New England. On Sunday, he broke the franchise record for most TD runs by a quarterback in a season by powering his way in from 5 yards out to tie it at 7 with his sixth TD of the season. And when Indy (7-8) needed a late third-down conversion to close out the victory, Richardson did that, too — firing a 10-yard strike to Michael Pittman Jr. No, he wasn’t perfect. A late throw over the middle resulted in yet another interception that cost the Colts a scoring chance in the first half. But Richardson went 7 of 11 with 131 yards and a 27-yard touchdown pass to Josh Downs with 15 seconds left in the first half to open up a 24-7 lead. And with Richardson and Taylor increasingly feeding off one another, the Colts may just be starting to unleash the full horsepower of what this dynamic duo can do. At least that’s the hope as the regular season winds down. “To add that element of (Richardson’s) run game was huge,” coach Shane Steichen said. “He had some good runs for us all day. So, him and J.T. back there is huge.” What’s working Ground game. What else? It has been a rollercoaster season for the Colts offense in general as well as the running game. On Sunday, it looked spectacular. Indy broke a 68-year-old franchise record by rushing for 335 yards. Taylor has 76 carries for 421 yards over the last three games and has his first 1,000-yard season since winning the 2021 rushing crown. What needs help Closing out games. Somehow, the Colts went from a 38-7 rout to needing an interception on the game’s final play. Maybe that explains why the Colts have played 12 one-possession games this season. If Indy could find a solution, it might not be on the cusp of making the playoffs instead of missing them for a fourth straight year. Stock up C Ryan Kelly. When the three-time Pro Bowl selection went on injured reserve in October, some thought Kelly may have played his last game in Indy. He’s in a contract year and rookie Tanor Bortolini played well in Kelly’s absence. But Kelly proved his value by making a big difference in the ground game. Stock down RG Dalton Tucker. The undrafted rookie moved into the starting lineup when Will Fries was sidelined with a season-ending leg injury. Then the Colts brought back veteran Mark Glowinski and plugged him into Tucker’s spot. Tucker was a healthy scratch Sunday. Injuries WR Alec Pierce (concussion) and LB E.J. Speed (knee) were both inactive in Week 16 and it’s unclear what their status will be next weekend. ... Two defensive backs — Jaylon Jones (throat) and Tre Flowers (shoulder) — left and did not return. ... Indy may have avoided a more concerning loss when Pro Bowl LG Quenton Nelson hurt his ankle in the fourth quarter. After slamming his helmet on the sideline, he returned for Indy’s last drive. Key number 18 — According to The New York Times, Indy has an 18% chance of making the playoffs heading into its final two games. Next steps Indy still has a manageable schedule with a trip to the New York Giants (2-13) next weekend before a rematch with Jacksonville (3-12) in the regular-season finale. If they replicate their play from the first three quarters Sunday, they’re likely to finish with a winning record and maybe get lucky enough to make the postseason. If they play like they did in the fourth quarter, the opposite could happen. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFLNDP won’t support Liberal $250 rebate plan unless eligibility expanded: Singh
LOS ANGELES — In an effort to fight the sexual exploitation of children, federal authorities will teach Los Angeles Unified School District students, staff and parents how to stay safe online. A memorandum of understanding between the nation's second-largest school district, the U.S. Attorney's Office and Homeland Security Investigations was announced Friday. HSI Los Angeles special agents, primarily from the Child Exploitation Investigations Group, will offer the so-called iGuardian trainings, which aim to educate participants about the dangers of online sexual predators and instruct them how to avoid and report abuse. The in-person training program will focus mainly on preteens and teenagers but can be tailored to younger children, as well as staff and parents, officials said in a news release . The program is part of a national campaign by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to raise awareness about online child sexual exploitation, which the agency calls a "rapidly escalating threat." That effort also stems from a long-running U.S. Department of Justice initiative that seeks to combat technology-facilitated sex crimes against children. ©2024 Los Angeles Times. Visit latimes.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.The federal government must deal immediately with a backlog of claims under the Jordan's Principle program for First Nations kids, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has ruled. In a letter decision released Thursday , the quasi-judicial panel ordered Canada to consult First Nations groups on solutions to the logjam, noting some of the backlogged requests "may very well be urgent." Jordan's Principle aims to ensure First Nations children get prompt access to health and social services without discrimination, with questions about which jurisdiction pays for them worked out afterward. The summary decision addresses a motion from Cindy Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, who alleged the government created the backlog through mismanagement, potentially putting childrens' lives in jeopardy. "This backlog was admitted by Canada and while parties may have different views on the number of backlogged cases, the existence of a backlog is undisputed," the letter says. Blackstock called it "yet another excellent decision" made on the facts. "I think it's important that Canada learns a lesson," she said, "that when we raise legitimate concerns from First Nations, agencies, people on the ground — and families are saying, 'You're out of compliance and provide solutions' — that they have to move forward and do that, because children's lives are literally on the line." Cindy Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, filed the complaint along with the Assembly of First Nations in 2007. (Vanna Blacksmith/CBC) The tribunal, a court-like panel that investigates discrimination complaints, ordered Canada to report back with a detailed plan, targets and timelines by Dec. 10. A spokesperson for Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu didn't comment on the decision directly but said Canada has spent nearly $8.1 billion to meet the needs of First Nations children through Jordan's Principle since 2016. "We remain focused on ensuring First Nations children can access services they need. We are currently reviewing the CHRT's decision and will have more to say soon," wrote press secretary Jennifer Kozelj in an emailed statement. The Assembly of First Nations has not responded to a request for comment. Criteria needed for urgent cases Currently, the timelines for Canada to respond to urgent requests are 12 hours for individuals and 48 hours for groups. Canada responded to Blackstock's motion by seeking to modify the timelines, but the tribunal refused. Canada argued requests were being misclassified, with things like modelling headshots, a snowmobile, a lawn mower, glow sticks, televisions and a zip line kit being labelled improperly as urgent. The Caring Society had motioned for the creation of a complaints mechanism to ensure accountability in the program. Both Canada and the Caring Society had parts of their motions granted. "The tribunal ... agrees that the backlogs need to be addressed and objective criteria for urgent cases must be developed as a priority," the letter says. Tribunal urges First Nations, feds to 'leave their conflicts aside' on Jordan's Principle issues Feds urge human rights tribunal to dismiss concerns over Jordan's Principle backlog "The tribunal agrees it would be best to have broad consultations with First Nations for the creation of a permanent independent Indigenous-led complaints mechanism." The ruling sends a strong message to the government about how it must behave when these disputes arise, according to Blackstock. "It reminds Canada of its obligations to consult, and it reminds Canada that they have to come forward with evidence-based solutions, not just something off the back of a napkin," she said. "They also remind Canada that children's human rights are minimum standards. They're not aspirations." The tribunal has not ordered any specific reforms, only consultations to try and reach solutions everyone agrees on. The parties include the Caring Society, AFN, Chiefs of Ontario and Nishnawbe Aski Nation. The legal battle dates back nearly 18 years to early 2007, when the Caring Society and AFN filed a human rights complaint alleging the chronic underfunding of on-reserve child and family services was racially discriminatory. 'Funding crisis' for Jordan's Principle jeopardizes Manitoba First Nations children's lives: chief First Nations leaders split on strategy amid Jordan's Principle hearing The tribunal upheld the allegation in a landmark 2016 decision, and since then it has sought to reform the programs. In 2019, the tribunal ordered compensation for the victims, which eventually led to a court-approved $23.3-billion compensation deal. The tribunal's orders also led to a separate proposed $47.8-billion deal to reform the on-reserve child welfare program over 10 years, but in October chiefs voted this deal down and called for new negotiations. The tribunal also ordered Canada to properly implement Jordan's Principle and reform that program long term, but so far no agreement has been reached.Nikki Giovanni dies at 81, leaving legacy at Virginia Tech

WASHINGTON (AP) — As a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become as a road map for “exactly what our movement will do” with another crack at the White House. As for a hard-right turn in America became a liability during the 2024 campaign, . He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans written in part by his first-term aides and allies. Now, after being elected the 47th president on Nov. 5, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the detailed effort he temporarily shunned. Most notably, Trump has tapped for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as . Those moves have accelerated criticisms from Democrats who warn that Trump's election hands government reins to movement conservatives who spent years envisioning how to concentrate power in the West Wing and impose a starkly rightward shift across the U.S. government and society. Trump and his aides maintain that he won a mandate to overhaul Washington. But they maintain the specifics are his alone. “President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “All of President Trumps' Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump's agenda, not the agenda of outside groups.” Here is a look at what some of Trump's choices portend for his second presidency. The Office of Management and Budget director, a role Vought held under Trump previously and requires Senate confirmation, prepares a president's proposed budget and is generally responsible for implementing the administration's agenda across agencies. The job is influential but Vought made clear as author of a Project 2025 chapter on presidential authority that he wants the post to wield more direct power. “The Director must view his job as the best, most comprehensive approximation of the President’s mind,” Vought wrote. The OMB, he wrote, “is a President’s air-traffic control system” and should be “involved in all aspects of the White House policy process,” becoming “powerful enough to override implementing agencies’ bureaucracies.” Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, “knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State” — Trump’s catch-all for federal bureaucracy — and would help “restore fiscal sanity.” In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: “We’re not going to save our country without a little confrontation.” The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025's and Trump's campaign proposals. Vought's vision is especially striking when paired with Trump's proposals to dramatically expand the president's control over federal workers and government purse strings — ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers — who have job protection through changes in administration — as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government's roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump's changes. Trump can now reinstate them. Meanwhile, Musk's and Ramaswamy's sweeping “efficiency” mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president — not Congress — is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his “Agenda 47,” Trump endorsed so-called “impoundment,” which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, “The President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.” Trump's choice immediately sparked backlash. “Russ Vought is a far-right ideologue who has tried to break the law to give President Trump unilateral authority he does not possess to override the spending decisions of Congress (and) who has and will again fight to give Trump the ability to summarily fire tens of thousands of civil servants,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat and outgoing Senate Appropriations chairwoman. Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, leading Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Vought wants to “dismantle the expert federal workforce” to the detriment of Americans who depend on everything from veterans' health care to Social Security benefits. “Pain itself is the agenda,” they said. Trump’s protests about Project 2025 always glossed over . Both want to reimpose Trump-era immigration limits. Project 2025 includes a litany of detailed proposals for various U.S. immigration statutes, executive branch rules and agreements with other countries — reducing the number of refugees, work visa recipients and asylum seekers, for example. Miller is one of Trump's longest-serving advisers and architect of his immigration ideas, including his promise of the largest deportation force in U.S. history. As deputy policy chief, which is not subject to Senate confirmation, Miller would remain in Trump's West Wing inner circle. “America is for Americans and Americans only,” Miller said at Trump’s on Oct. 27. “America First Legal,” Miller’s organization founded as an ideological counter to the American Civil Liberties Union, was listed as an advisory group to Project 2025 until Miller asked that the name be removed because of negative attention. Homan, a Project 2025 named contributor, was an acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during Trump’s first presidency, playing a key role in what became known as Trump's Previewing Trump 2.0 earlier this year, Homan said: “No one’s off the table. If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.” John Ratcliffe, Trump's , was previously one of Trump's directors of national intelligence. He is a Project 2025 contributor. The document's chapter on U.S. intelligence was written by Dustin Carmack, Ratcliffe's chief of staff in the first Trump administration. Reflecting Ratcliffe's and Trump's approach, Carmack declared the intelligence establishment too cautious. Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China. Throughout the Project 2025 document, Beijing is framed as a U.S. adversary that cannot be trusted. Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Project 2025's FCC chapter and is to chair the panel. Carr wrote that the FCC chairman “is empowered with significant authority that is not shared” with other FCC members. He called for the FCC to address “threats to individual liberty posed by corporations that are abusing dominant positions in the market,” specifically “Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square.” He called for more stringent transparency rules for social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and “empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any.” Carr and Ratcliffe would require Senate confirmation for their posts.Bulls On Tap Tasting Flight: Chicago Bulls News for Nov. 23, 2024
