Bowling Green (2-3) scored the next 38 points to claim its first win over an active member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

All three phases, all aspects of the program didn’t succeed. … It’s on m...

The bill funds government until Nov. 17.After chaotic days of turmoil in the House, Speaker Kevin McCarthy abruptly abandoned demands for steep spending cuts from his right flank and instead relied on Democrats to pass the bill, at risk to his own job. The Senate followed with final passage closing a whirlwind day at the Capitol.“This is good news for the American people,” Biden said in a statement. He also said the United States “cannot under any circumstances allow American support for Ukraine to be interrupted" and expected McCarthy "will ...
