Tyrese Maxey on role in team meeting: 'I wanted to speak up'
The Sixers haven’t been healthy, nor have they rolled out a full roster this season. What matters heading into Wednesday’s game against the Grizzlies is that there is too much talent on the roster, no matter who is available, for this team to have won just two of 13 games. “I wanted to speak up,” Maxey said. “I felt the need to do that because I wanted to share that we are better than what we have shown on the floor. We said what we had to say and we have to figure out a way to move on to the rest of the season.

Cher Opens Up About Her Tumultuous Past Cher's Memoir Reveals Dark Childhood and Rocky Marriage to Sonny BonoTurning back time and unearthing deep memories is no easy feat, especially for someone like Cher, the iconic singer and actress whose life has played out under the glaring spotlight of fame for nearly six decades. On November 19, Cher released the first part of her highly anticipated memoir, Cher: The Memoir, Part One. Much of Cher’s memoir focuses on her childhood, which she describes as unstable. Cher didn’t have the fairy-tale upbringing many would assume; instead, she faced poverty and abandonment, which she candidly discusses. Even as she tackled painful chapters, such as losing herself within the confines of her marriage, Cher also highlights the humor and spontaneity of her youth.

Expect A Battle As RFK Jr. Attempts To Revamp US Food Policy
President-elect Trump's choice to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is certainly a controversial one. He has vowed to take on "big food" and "big pharma" to "Make America Healthy Again." Of course, to achieve his agenda, Mr. Kennedy would likely have to significantly overhaul DHHS and require a myriad of additional regulations – something Republicans are typically opposed to. And if confirmed, I expect his efforts to revamp food policy to be as controversial as the man himself. As Mr. Trump's choice to head the Department of Health and Human Services, [Mr. Kennedy] would have far-reaching authority over the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates about 80 percent of the nation's food supply.

Diddy's Jailhouse Obstruction: Inmate Accused of Phone Scheme
Sean Combs Photo by nytimes.comMusic Mogul Accused of Obstruction from JailSean Combs, known as Diddy, is facing allegations of obstruction in his federal racketeering and se$ trafficking case. Prosecutors claim that from his Brooklyn jail cell, he attempted to bypass monitoring by organizing three-way phone calls and using other inmates’ phone accounts. Combs has been detained since September at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, in a unit for high-profile inmates. A previous judge denied bail, citing witness tampering risks, but a new judge is now reviewing his case. Combs’s lawyers argue that contacting witnesses for his defense does not constitute obstruction.

American companies are stocking up to get ahead of Trump’s China tariffs
American businesses are dusting off a playbook they used during Trump’s first term: stocking up on imported goods before tariffs are enacted. When Trump began his trade war against China in 2018, U.S. businesses scrambled to front-load imports before tariffs were implemented, according to an International Monetary Fund analysis. American companies bought roughly $430 billion of Chinese goods last year, with computer and electronic products making up the biggest chunk. Some economists doubt the U.S. will succeed in raising tariffs to 60% across the board on Chinese products. If tariffs on Chinese products indeed reach 60%, Norton said she might have to stop selling body oil and focus more on her fitness-coaching services.
