A video currently circulating on social media shows at least two men watching as another man allegedly drowns a horse. The video begins with a man riding atop a horse and going into a river. He is seen getting off the horse and seemingly fighting with the horse. The next clip shows the horse floating on its side and appeared to be dead. At least one person in the video is pictured grinning. The incident reportedly occurred in Powell County. The video appeared to be taken during the summer as one shirtless man has an obvious sunburn, according to the video. In a phone interview, Powell County Sheriff Gavin Roselles said his office was notified Thursday afternoon of the circulated video. “My office began an investigation at that time,” said Sheriff Roselles. The alleged incident did occur in Powell County, the sheriff said, and the people in the video have been identified. The case is under further investigation. According to the Montana Legislature, a person convicted of cruelty to animals could be fined up to $1,000 or receive a one-year sentence in the county jail, or both. If the incident is deemed aggravated animal cruelty, a person could be fined up to $2,500 and receive a prison term not to exceed two years, or both.

It's the new reality for the once-proud Conference of Champions, which was whittled down to just two teams — the Beavers and the Cougars — during realignment last year. The lone Pac-12, well, Pac-2, game this season will be played Saturday in Corvallis. While Washington State and Oregon State had a scheduling agreement this year with the Mountain West, the two teams don't figure into that league's standings. No. 25 Washington State (8-2) at Oregon State (4-6) Since the Pac-12's collapse, the Beavers and the Cougs have worked together to rebuild the conference. In 2026, five Mountain West teams — as well as Gonzaga for basketball only — will join a new Pac-12 . But that alliance ends at the football field, at least according to Washington State coach Jake Dickert. "I’ve never gotten into, like, they’re our buddy. Oregon State’s not our buddy. They would have left us as fast as we would have left them. This is what it is,” Dickert said this week. “It’s one of our biggest rivals now. That’s the way I looked at it. That’s not bulletin board material. I hope they would say it the same way, let’s go compete.” Washington State (8-2) is coming off a disheartening 38-35 loss to New Mexico last weekend. The Cougars had hopes of winning out and possibly earning an at-large bid to the 12-team College Football Playoff, and were ranked as high as No. 18 in the CFP rankings. “Our team will be defined in how we respond to this," Dickert said. “That’s what we talked about after the game. That’s what we talked about this morning. We have a commitment to finish here. That isn’t just committing to finish because we’re in the playoff hunt. It’s a commitment to finish to each other and our team. There are 50 other teams in the country that would switch places with us, and be 8-2 with where we’re at.” Oregon State (4-6) has lost five straight and is coming off a 28-0 blanking at Air Force last weekend. It's possible the Beavers could still become bowl eligible, but they would need to beat the Cougars and then win at No. 12 Boise State next weekend. “When you lose like we’ve lost the last five weeks, it’s never just one thing, and it’s certainly not just the players," Oregon State coach Trent Bray said. Washington State's versatile quarterback John Mateer is considered among the top quarterbacks in the country, despite playing outside of a Power Four conference. Mateer has accounted for 340.2 yards of total offense to rank fifth nationwide, he has 26 passing touchdowns (tied for fourth) and he's rushed for 12 more, a Washington State single-season record for a quarterback. He's the only QB in the country with 20-plus passing touchdowns and 10-plus rushing scores. The result of his success is that he's generating outside interest. And just look at his predecessor, Cam Ward, who played for the Cougars last season before decamping to Miami, where he's become a Heisman candidate and a possible top NFL draft pick. The transfer portal opens Dec. 9. The scheduling agreement with the Mountain West was not renewed for next season, so Washington State and Oregon State each had to put together schedules with an assortment of opponents, and one quirk. The two teams will play each other twice, once in Corvallis and once in Pullman. In 2026, five Mountain West schools will join the Pac-12: Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Colorado State and Utah State. Gonzaga, which does not field a football team, has also joined. The new Pac-12 must still add another football member to be recognized by the NCAA. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

The market, being built by Agrovision Foundation , will enable farmers to sell their produce following tests," said Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari. Speaking at the concluding function of the Agrovision Expo on Monday, Gadkari said the idea is to provide a better price for farmers and also ensure that consumers pay a reasonable rate at the same time. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who went where and for how much IPL 2025: Complete list of players of each franchise This will be done by eliminating middlemen, he said. Farmers can bring their produce in one or half kg packets, which will be tested for being organic, after which they will be directly allowed to sell it in the market, said the minister. Agrovision, which is also coming up with a farmers' centre at the same site, is a charitable trust, and its sole objective is to ensure farmers' benefit, he said. Gadkari said a plan has been mooted during the expo to have specialised teams that will work on increasing the yield of different crops grown in the Vidarbha region. This includes oranges, cotton, soyabean, and paddy mainly. He also expressed the need to increase the orange yield in the region. In Spain, a single acre yields as much as 40 tonnes of oranges. However, in Vidarbha, it barely reaches 16 tonnes, and it's 6 tonnes in Arunachal Pradesh. It needs to be studied how the 40-ton yield can be achieved, said Gadkari. He said the Agrovision Expo, which started 16 years ago, has come a long way. Earlier, it used to be limited to Vidarbha. Now, there is participation from not only across Maharashtra but also Madhya Pradesh and Telangana. "It was encouraging to see farmers taking down notes during the sessions. This indicates that they are keen to adopt the latest technology," said Gadkari. He also stressed the formation of farmers' producer organisations (FPO) so that the agriculturists can procure equipment commonly. Stressing on alternate fuels, he said it can substantially bring down the cost for farmers. Tractors that run on alternate fuels were also on display at the event, said Gadkari. Arunachal Pradesh agriculture minster Gabrierl Wangsu was the chief guest on the occasion, who spoke of cooperation between two the states in future.

In a bid to boost agricultural extension service towards achieving national Food Security, the Federal College of Animal Health & Production Technology (FCAH&PT), Ibadan, in collaboration with Kannon Royal Resources Limited, recently put together a training workshop on development of human capacity in agricultural extension services. In his opening remarks at the event held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, Provost, FCAH&PT, Dr Adekoya Owosibo, encouraged agricultural extension workers in attendance to be more dedicated to their duties and obey all civil service rules and regulations. He spoke on importance of building capacity of extension workers for effective agricultural extension services, stating that every extension worker is a major stakeholder in agricultural value chain and food Security. According to him, “There must be synergy among researchers, extension agents, farmers and industries. Effective communication, team work, critical thinking, problem-solving skills and the use of information technology are very essential in agricultural extension services”. In his remarks, the Chairman of Kannon Royal Resources Limited, Raji Abdulrazak emphasised the benefits of training and re-training of agricultural extension workers in order to boost their morales and productivity. He suggested that there must be collaboration between agricultural extension agents, farmers, industries and researchers. He encouraged the extension workers to be more focused so as to achieve their mandate. The feed back from the workshop revealed that the participants benefitted immensely from the programme in areas of additional knowledge, practical experiences. Over 600 participants participated in the Workshop.Genesis Bryant scores 27 and No. 19 Illinois women beat UMES 75-55 in Music City ClassicFRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown could miss the 2025 season recovering from the right knee injury sustained in a loss to Cincinnati, coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday. McCarthy said Overshown has a “long road of rehab in front of him.” The second-year player tore multiple ligaments when a Bengals lineman crashed into his leg in the Cowboys' 27-20 loss Monday night. Overshown missed all of his rookie year in 2023 after tearing the ACL in his left knee in a preseason game. The latest injury came in his first game since a spectacular 23-yard interception return for a touchdown in a 27-20 victory over the New York Giants on Thanksgiving. “DeMarvion is getting ready to have a big surgery in front of him,” McCarthy said of the procedure planned this week. “His physical and football talent speaks for itself. He’s such a bright light. He’s got a great, infectious personality — a tough young man. He is definitely going to be missed.” The former Texas standout, drafted in the third round last year, was second on the team to star pass rusher Micah Parsons with five sacks when he went down. The December timing of Overshown's injury means rehab is likely to extend past training camp and into the regular season next year, after he turns 25. Parsons was emotional when asked about Overshown after the Cincinnati game. “I cried,” he said. “It’s like my little bro, bro. He doesn’t deserve that either. Just to understand what he’s going to go through and to be there for him physically, mentally. It’s just so challenging because of the year he was having. I really just don’t think that’s fair either.” The loss of Overshown comes with defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence close to return from a foot injury that has sidelined him since Week 4. But the Cowboys (5-8) are all but out of the playoffs as they prepare to visit Carolina (3-10) on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Ruben Amorim forces his Man United players to applaud travelling fans at full-time after new Red Devils boss is held to disappointing 1-1 draw at Ipswich Ruben Amorim made sure his Man United players applauded their away fans The Portuguese manager drew his first game in charge 2-2 with Ipswich Town Will Ruben Amorim be Man United's saviour? LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off! Available wherever you get your podcasts. Episodes every Monday and Thursday By YASEEN ZAMAN Published: 19:48, 24 November 2024 | Updated: 20:06, 24 November 2024 e-mail 88 shares View comments Ruben Amorim insisted his Man United players recognised the support of their travelling fans after a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town in his first game in charge. After the full-time whistle, the Portuguese boss was seen herding his players towards the packed away end to show their gratitude to United's supporters. Fans quickly reacted to the news on social media, with many noting that the players should have done so without the manager's encouragement, while others applauded the sentiment. 'Knowing them, they would've gone to the tunnel if he didn't tell them that. A bunch of entitled and highly paid underperformers,' wrote one user on X. Another said: 'Bringing in that mentality early,' praising Amorim's expectations on his squad. A third commented: 'They should be doing that anyway without having to be told.' Ruben Amorim urged his team to show their appreciation towards Man United's travelling fans Omari Hutchinson equalised for Ipswich Town in the 43rd minute with a long-range effort A poacher's finish from Marcus Rashford handed Amorim a dream start, giving United the lead in the second minute. However, Kieran McKenna's side quickly shifted the game's momentum, and their efforts were rewarded in the 43rd minute when Omari Hutchinson equalised with a stunning curling effort from long-range, albeit assisted by a deflection off Noussair Mazraoui's head. Amorim fearlessly implemented his unique playing style in his first game - he put Noussair Mazraoui in at right centre back, had Amad Diallo as a wing back and Alejandro Garnacho as an inside forward - it was to be the 3-4-3 system that served him so well at Sporting. When asked about his side adapting to the new formation, Amorim admitted that he does not expect his footballing philosophy to be perfectly implemented so soon. 'It was really hard for them, they were thinking what to do, it was not fluid which is normal after to just two training sessions but they tried hard,' he told BBC Sport. 'They have so much space to improve. But after a draw you never feel the good things. So I am really happy because they tried but they can do so much better.'

"Treasury expects to hit the statutory debt ceiling between January 14 and January 23," she wrote in a letter addressed to House and Senate leadership, at which point extraordinary measures would be used to prevent the government from breaching the nation's debt ceiling — which was suspended until Jan. 1, 2025. The department in the past deployed what are known as “extraordinary measures” or accounting maneuvers to keep the government operating. Once those measures run out, the government risks defaulting on its debt unless lawmakers and the president agree to lift the limit on the U.S. government’s ability to borrow. "I respectfully urge Congress to act to protect the full faith and credit of the United States," Yellen said. FILE - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen speaks during a visit to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in Vienna, Va., on Jan. 8, 2024. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File) The news came after Democratic President Joe Biden signed a bill into law last week that averted a government shutdown but did not include Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s core debt demand to raise or suspend the nation’s debt limit. Congress approved the bill only after a fierce internal debate among Republicans over how to handle Trump's demand. “Anything else is a betrayal of our country,” Trump said in a statement. After a protracted debate in the summer of 2023 over how to fund the government, policymakers crafted the Fiscal Responsibility Act, which included suspending the nation's $31.4 trillion borrowing authority until Jan. 1, 2025. Notably however, Yellen said, on Jan. 2 the debt is projected to temporarily decrease due to a scheduled redemption of nonmarketable securities held by a federal trust fund associated with Medicare payments. As a result, “Treasury does not expect that it will be necessary to start taking extraordinary measures on January 2 to prevent the United States from defaulting on its obligations," she said. The federal debt stands at about $36 trillion — after ballooning across both Republican and Democratic administrations. The spike in inflation after the COVID-19 pandemic pushed up government borrowing costs such that debt service next year will exceed spending on national security. Republicans, who will have full control of the White House, House and Senate in the new year, have big plans to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts and other priorities but are debating over how to pay for them. Many consumers may remember receiving their first credit card, either years ago in a plain envelope, or months ago from a smartphone app. Still other consumers may remember their newest card, maybe because it's the credit card they're now using exclusively to maximize cash back rewards or airline miles. But for most consumers, there's also a murky in-between where they add, drop and generally accumulate credit cards over time. Over the years, consumers may close some credit card accounts or leave some of their credit cards dormant as a backup form of payment, or perhaps left forgotten in a desk drawer. In the data below, Experian reveals the changes in consumers wallets in recent years. U.S. consumers, on average, carry fewer cards today than they did in 2017, when the typical wallet held 4.2 active credit cards. As of the third quarter (Q3) of 2023, consumers carried 3.9 cards on average. This average is up slightly since the early days of the pandemic, when consumers reduced their average credit card debt and number of accounts as the economy slowed. As Experian revealed earlier this year, credit card balances are still climbing, despite (and partially because of) higher interest rates. And while average balances are increasing, they are spread across fewer accounts than in recent years. Alternative financing—including buy now, pay later plans for purchases—may account for at least some of this discrepancy, as consumers gravitate toward these newer financing methods. In general, residents of higher-population states tend to carry more credit cards than those who live in states with fewer and smaller population centers. Nonetheless, the difference between the states is relatively small. Considering that the national average is around four credit cards per consumer, the four states with the fewest cards per consumer (Alaska, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming) aren't appreciably different, with "only" about 3.3 credit cards per consumer. Similarly, the four states on the higher end of the scale where consumers have 4.2 or more credit cards are Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey and Rhode Island. The disparity in average credit card counts is more apparent when the population is segmented by age, thanks in part to Generation Z, many of whom have yet to receive their first credit card. The average number of credit cards for these consumers was two, less than half of what older generations keep on hand. The average number of credit cards held by each generation follows the familiar pattern seen in credit card balances, which tend to increase in a consumer's middle age. It's not surprising that the number of credit card accounts follows a similar climb throughout young adulthood and middle age, then drops off in the retirement years. No matter how many credit cards you may have at the moment, keep in mind that the number of accounts has little if any bearing on one's FICO Score. Far more important is how consumers manage those accounts. This is easily demonstrable by quickly stepping through some of the factors that affect your credit scores . Longer credit histories do tend to have a positive effect on a consumer's credit score, but it's not something you can rush. Adhering to on-time payments and managing amounts owed will go far in improving credit scores, even absent a lengthy credit history. While accounts closed in good standing remain on your credit report for 10 years, canceling your oldest credit card account still has the potential to shorten your credit history when it is eventually removed. The impact of its removal depends on any other active credit cards in your credit file. Ultimately, the number of cards a particular individual carries is a personal decision. Justifications can be found for carrying a travel rewards card, a cash back card, a balance transfer card, a card for business transactions and other types of credit cards that other consumers may not have either the need or qualifications for. However, keeping track of numerous credit cards, whether or not a consumer is actively using all of them, can be a mentally taxing exercise. Not only that, credit card fees can add up and dull the benefit of carrying several credit cards. Organized consumers can benefit greatly from a wallet full of specialized cards, but for those seeking a more zen-like financial future, some judicial pruning may be in order.

Northern Territory Don't miss out on the headlines from Northern Territory. Followed categories will be added to My News. Darwin company Steeline GRP has emerged as an Australian manufacturing leader with its multimillion-dollar investment in the nation’s longest-reach robot welder, largest aluminium router and a state-of-the art beamline for metal processing and manufacturing. A collaboration between Steeline GRP, Territory-based industrial local robotics and automation company Diverseco and Charles Darwin University , the partnership will have the twin benefits of boosting the NT’s industrial self-reliance and skills base. The purchases were supported by an $800,000 co-investment from the Northern Territory Government’s Advanced Manufacturing Ecosystem Fund. The total investment pool of $3.5m consists of matching the $800,000 co-investment dollar-for-dollar, plus contributing an additional $1.9m through in-kind services, support and labour. Steeline GRP’s Kawasakil Long-reach robotic welding system Steeline’s facility features include advanced automated metal manufacturing technology, including a Kawasakil Long-reach robotic welding system with a 2.1m arm on an 8m track, a 14-axis ART metaltek XB1200 beamline fabrication machine and a true 2.5m x 11m ART Router Machine. In addition to the support from the AMEF, Steeline has further advanced its manufacturing capability by complementing these pieces of equipment with a new 12000kw fibre laser machine, a 40m Ocean Steel Shot Blasting machine and an LVD Turret Punch Press, to enable end-to-end processing capacity. Tony Halikos has invested hundreds-of-thousands in new machinery. The partnership is intended to reduce supply risk for many of the region’s businesses and create a local source of high-quality processed products for critical industries such as defence, energy, gas, mining and construction. Steeline conservatively estimates the project will lead to cumulative revenues of $7.25m and create 10 new jobs within five years across the entire manufacturing value chain including apprentices, truck drivers, other skilled workers, engineers and administrative staff. Four of the forecast new jobs do not currently exist in the NT, bringing a raft of new skills to the Top End. Steeline GRP general manager Tony Halikos said the company was passionate about local manufacturing and processing. “The new in-house advanced manufacturing capabilities we rival or match that of any manufacturer anywhere in Australia or South-East Asia and will complement all industries - defence, energy, gas, mining, maritime and construction, requiring the local capability for projects big or small,” he said. “Based on the advanced capabilities we now have, Steeline GRP is now able to process some of the largest carbon steel, aluminium steel and stainless steel products in sizes currently unable to be handled elsewhere in many parts of Australia. Steeline Darwin “Our overall aim is to ensure that the critical industries in the Northern Territory and Australia have access to world-class capabilities, underpinned by advanced machinery developed by sovereign entities and world class staff. “By doing so, Steeline GRP and the entire Top End manufacturing ecosystem can become more resilient, more prosperous and more capable as a result. “Improving our sovereign capability and capacity to the benefit of our local industry and local manufacturing environment is the driver of the investment.” Dr Jens Goennemann, managing director of the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre , said Steeline had shown the benefit of investing in manufacturing. “It creates a ripple effect of increased local business activity,” Dr Goennemann said. “The Territory government’s commitment to advancing its manufacturing ecosystem is yielding results with more mobs created and greater local spending retained within the Territory. “The impact of the investment in this project alone will be significant for the Territory, which has a substantive list of companies looking for local manufacturing and supply of sovereign products such as large pieces of finished structural steel, aluminium plate and even composite panelling, normally bought in from interstate or overseas. “This increased local capability reduces supply chain risks, lowers transport costs, increases efficiencies and cuts lead times.” More Coverage The local business bucking manufacturing trends in the NT Camden Smith NT manufacturer boosted by ‘ecosystem’ funding Camden Smith Originally published as Steeline GRP’s substantial investment in Territory jobs and capacity Join the conversation Add your comment to this story To join the conversation, please log in.

Chris Cenac Jr., the top center in the Class of 2025 according to the ESPN100, has committed to play for the Houston Cougars. The five-star recruit announced his decision Tuesday via the Bleacher Report's B/R App. Cenac previously said he wouldn't make his decision until the spring, but his stock soared over the summer after his impressive play on the Puma Pro 16 circuit with Dallas-based YGC, vaulting him into the national top-10 rankings. The 6-foot-10 New Orleans native was reportedly choosing between LSU, Auburn, Arkansas, Baylor, Kentucky, Tennessee and others before making the decision to join Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson's team. "I just like the coaching staff a lot, I like their plan to develop me and I like coming into a winning program," Cenac told 247Sports. "I'm looking forward to producing and just helping them win more. But the main thing was development and them being able to get me better so I can be ready for that next level." Cenac's rating of .9978 by 247Sports Composite makes him the Cougars' highest-rated commit in the modern era, according to multiple outlets. "They see me as a four who can kind of play all over the court and do everything," Cenac told 247Sports. "I can get rebounds, push the ball, shoot and play all over the floor." With Cenac joining other Houston commits like five-star shooting guard Isaiah Harwell, four-star point guard Kingston Flemings and three-star wing Bryce Jackson, Houston's Class of 2025 is ranked No. 2 in the nation by 247Sports and ESPN. --Field Level MediaSAN DIEGO , Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action was filed on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Visa Inc.

Anytime the two go anywhere together publicly, it draws a crowd — as does Swift’s solo entrances at Arrowhead Stadium when she shows up to support Kelce when he plays. But just because Kelce and Swift are in the limelight seemingly all the time, it doesn’t mean they’re exempt from some of the team rules the Chiefs have implemented for all of their players leading up to game days. Chariah Gordon, the fiancée of Chiefs receiver Mecole Hardman, recently told People.com that there are eight rules the team has for all of its players to follow, but there are three in particular that apply to Kelce and Swift’s relationship specifically. The first is an 11 p.m. curfew for all players the night before; no exceptions. The NFL CBA states that players can be penalized for curfew violations, which fall under “conduct detrimental to the team.” The second rule is that all significant others, even wives, must stay in separate rooms the night before games. While they are allowed to stay in the same hotel, players have to sleep solo — something Gordon said the team is really strict about. The third rule is that all players must get directly onto the team plane after away games and no significant others are allowed to tag along. Robert Deutsch-Imagn Images “You're more than welcome to go to a game and you can see them after, and then they're getting right back on the flight and they're coming right back home that night,” Jayla Thornton-Cook, wife to Chiefs safety Bryan Cook told People. Swift doesn’t have to worry much about that last one as she’s only attended home games this season due to security concerns at away stadiums due to a couple of incidents over the summer. Swift had to cancel a few of her “Eras Tour” shows in Austria before the season started due to a terrorist plot that she was allegedly the target of. She also had a stalker who was arrested in Germany in July after social media threats were made by him toward her and Kelce.

Rico Carty, who won the 1970 NL batting title when he hit a major league-best .366 for the Atlanta Braves, has died. He was 85. , the players’ association and the Braves paid tribute to Carty on social media on Sunday. A family friend told Listín Diario — a newspaper in Carty’s native Dominican Republic — that he died Saturday night in an Atlanta hospital. “Carty was one of the first groundbreaking Latino stars in the major leagues, and he established himself as a hero to millions in his native Dominican Republic, his hometown of San Pedro de Macoris, and the city of Atlanta, where he was a beloved fan favorite,” the players' association said . The Braves said Carty left on the organization. “While his on-field accomplishments will never be forgotten, his unforgettable smile and generous nature will be sorely missed,” the team said in its statement. Carty made his big league debut with the Braves in September 1963.

(AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump's supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump's movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump's Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer , a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer's comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks , whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar." Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government , weighed in, defending the tech industry's need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump's world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world's richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect , was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump's movement but his stance on the tech industry's hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry's need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent," he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Trump's own positions over the years have reflected the divide in his movement. His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration , including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order , which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump's businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club , and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country" and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," he told the “All-In" podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump's budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.Cowboys star G Zack Martin doubtful to play vs. Commanders
