President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly talked about shutting down the United States Department of Education. Vice President-elect JD Vance has called universities the “enemy” and “hostile institutions”. And while Trump’s pick for education secretary, former wrestling executive Linda McMahon, stands out primarily for having no apparent experience in the field of education, advocates are anxiously waiting for what many believe will be an all-out war against universities under the incoming administration. While the federal Department of Education has repeatedly been threatened, it is unlikely that the incoming Trump administration will be able to shut it down, as that would need…

An injury to the blossoming passer’s throwing shoulder will keep him out in Green Bay, though no IR stint should be expected. The 49ers believe Purdy will be ready to play against the Bills next week, ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes, as a high level of concern is not present.

An Ethiopian wolf licks nectar from the Ethiopian red hot poker flowerAdrien Lesaffre Ethiopian wolves feed on the sweet nectar of a local flower, picking up pollen on their snouts as they do so – which may make them the first carnivores discovered to act as pollinators.
