Former Michigan Football Coach Arrested
By: Haylee Downing
The ex-football coach from the University of Michigan has been charged with accounts of stalking and home invasion. According to ABC News, Sherrone Moore apparently has a long history of domestic violence against the victim.
This unknown woman admitted to having an affair with Moore, who is married with 3 children. While the victim was packing her things inside her apartment, Moore barged into her house. He allegedly grabbed two knives and directed them towards the victim, telling her that she “ruined his life.” The woman contacted her attorney immediately, and Moore turned the knives onto himself, threatening to end his own life.
Moore was fired from the University of Michigan prior to his arrest, stating that they found evidence that he was having an "inappropriate relationship” with a fellow staff member. He served as the head coach for 2 seasons.
After his arrest on December 12, Moore was released with a $25,000 bond and had to wear a GPS monitor. He was also ordered to not make any contact with the victim. His next court date is January 22.
Chicago Bears Consider Relocation
Chicago Bears Consider Relocation

It’s in their name: they’re the Chicago Bears. So what’s the deal with this relocation?
CEO Kevin Warren presented a letter to fans, stating that the Bears are continuing to plan on building a new stadium. They have been focused on Arlington Park, but they are now looking at other places, including Indiana. According to ESPN, Governor J.B. Pritzker is against this move, stating that moving to Indiana is “a startling slap in the face to all the beloved and loyal fans who have been rallying around the team during this strong season.” Many other fans are not happy about this news because they’re devoted to their state and their team.
Here’s what Warren said in regards to their decisions:
"Our fans deserve a world-class stadium. Our players and coaches deserve a venue that matches the championship standard they strive for every day. With that in mind, our organization must keep every credible pathway open to deliver that future."
The Bears need to heavily consider their commitments—they have to be aware of the cost of losing many fans. They have had a great season so far, better than previous years. Their current record is 10-4, and they will be playing their big rivals, The Green Bay Packers, Saturday night at 7:20.

Brown University Shooting
Brown University Shooting
By: Haylee Downing
On Saturday, December 13th, a shooting took place at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The massacre left 2 students dead and 9 injured.
A manhunt for the University’s shooter is still underway. A suspect was detained but was eventually released due to the evidence. A map was released by authorities to indicate where the shooter was before and after the attack, according to CNN. DNA experts determined that due to the snowfall and upcoming rain, any fingerprints that may have been left by the shooter would be gone. This makes the investigation all the more difficult to uncover.
So far this year, the United States has had 75 school shootings. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 391 mass shootings and 13,929 shooting deaths nationwide just in 2025. This problem is only getting worse, and now Ivy League schools have fallen onto the list.
Not much is known about the shooter as of yet, and an investigation is still underway as of Thursday, December 18. All classes and final exams have been cancelled, and authorities have asked the public for any clues that could help the investigation. Hopefully the shooter will be identified and charged for his crimes soon.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Resigns after protests
By: Andan Nguyen
It started on Thursday, December 11th, when the Bulgarian Prime Minister officially resigned amid mass demonstrations around the eastern European nation.
This protest has followed a trend that many nations around the world have been hit with. Known as the Gen Z protests, it is a phenomenon that I have covered twice before earlier this year. It is simple, the younger generations have been getting fed up with government corruption and inaction, so they go out into the streets to fight it.
Nations such as Nepal and Madagascar had their entire governments overthrown whilst many other nations pushed corrupt officials out of power and levied bills in or out of law.
In Bulgaria many of the younger people have felt they were stuck in similar positions as the other members of the Gen Z protests. Street protests began a few weeks ago protesting the government in general for their inaction and inability to quell corruption on local, provincial, and federal levels. They also protested the nation's monetary policies which have been damaging their economy. Nearly a 70th of the entire nation's population showed up to protest.
The former prime minister, Rosen Zhelyazkov, has been incredibly unpopular with a large portion of the Bulgarian public ever since he got elected less than a year ago. He was hated for many of his policies.
The government overall has also been incredibly unpopular in recent years, the parliament, prime minister, and nation’s president have all been criticized. They all supported similar economic policies and would also not work to fix corruption.
They had several unpopular economic policies that threatened people's livelihoods and trade. This would be enough to have anybody up in arms, but the Bulgarian government just kept pushing their luck.
In early december, even more protests broke out nationwide due to the proposition of a new bill that would increase the already struggling nation’s taxes.
Soon after, in response to the people, the nation’s president said that other members of government or entire political groups should resign from their positions. He has publicly said that he hopes that many hated politicians and representatives will resign. Him and other high ranking officials hope that eventually they could reorganize the parliament and nation's political climate to bring the people to a happy solution.

Presidential Mockery
By: Haley Ruser
Recently, President Trump has created an exhibit in the White House called the Presidential Walk of Fame, showcasing each presidents’ accomplishments in their respective plaques. However, Trump’s creation has stirred controversy from the mocking comments made by the President under each plaque. Under Joe Biden, whom Trump has expressed his distaste for, reads: “ ‘[s]leepy Joe Biden…[and] the worst President in American History’ “ (Dean et al.). Additionally, Barack Obama’s plaque claims that the previous president “ ‘spied’ on his 2016 presidential campaign and…’presided over the creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the worst political scandal in American History’ “ (Dean et al.). Many citizens are questioning Trump’s motives, claiming that the Presidential Walk of Fame was disgusting and disturbing, highlighting the President’s egotistical motives in his campaign (Dean et al. ). Ultimately, Trump’s Presidential Walk of Fame caused more backlash than support from his supporters, decreasing overall support from the United States.
