Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 05:57:19 GMT

A group of Democratic state senators in Maryland is threatening to strip state funding for an immigrant rights group after it called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and condemned the “utilization of US tax dollars to promote the ongoing violence.”The nine lawmakers who represent Montgomery County — Maryland’s most populous county — said in a statement on Wednesday that the remarks by CASA were “hurtful, divisive, and antisemitic.”CASA is a Maryland-based advocacy organization that also provides services for the state’s immigrant communities, and it receives millions of dollars from the state and local governments to do that work.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The over/under total of 27 to 28 1/2 points for Rutgers’ college football game at Iowa on Saturday is historically low.Caesars Sportsbook posted 27, the lowest total for an FBS game it has ever offered. Bettors have jumped on the over with 74% of the money and 61% of tickets going that direction.“Every week, Iowa’s offense continues to struggle both on the ground and through the air.
