Since taking office last year, Marco Rubio has flown to at least 10 University of Florida football games.

The flights have cost the government more than $1.2 million, The Post found.

Rubio's personal travel appears to significantly outpace that of his predecessors. https://t.co/8rt325eDR5

The Church is like a path leading us to a communion and hope that crosses the mountains of indifference, the deserts of individualism, and the distances that separate people. The motto of my visit — “Let us open our hearts!” — invites us to conversion, to communion and to mission. #ApostolicJourney #Peru

I know everyone is focused on Nvidia, but the U.S. housing market is in a dramatic slump.

Home sales in October fell to the lowest since 2010
(This is sales of existing homes).

Home sales and home building are drying up as mortgage rates remain above 7% (and home prices remain 50% above 2020 levels). There's unlikely to be much relief anytime soon.

This is a big pain point for many young Americans. Spain is currently experiencing strikes and riots over housing unaffordability. It's a warning to the US.

Passage happened by voice vote (no recorded roll call of individual members), which Democrats and groups like DAV and VFW criticized as a procedural maneuver that avoided accountability, especially on Veterans Day. But, they support the military.

I cover Mexico for The New York Times, and there is no such "invasion."

About 1,500 people recently began walking north from the southern tip of Mexico — weeks away from the United States — and very few, if any, will reach the northern border.

Over the past two years, the Mexican government has repeatedly broken up these small caravans within days of them starting. And there have been far fewer of them since Trump took office.

The reality is the number of illegal border crossings remain near historic lows.

As a ninth-generation Kentuckian whose mom grew up on a small farm, it's the honor of a lifetime to walk up the Capitol steps and serve my home on the House floor.

I will never forget who I'm fighting for.

I am very pleased to be back in #Peru. This return visit holds a very special meaning for me. For years, I shared in the lives of its people, listened to their concerns, and learned from their faith. Many opened the doors of their homes to me and made me feel like one of their own. Today I understand how much of this land remains with me and how much of my own story also belongs to you. That is why I can tell you, with deep gratitude, that I am also returning to my homeland. #ApostolicJourney

If you're asking yourself, "should I buy $NVDA today?"

From Baird's Tristan Gerra:
Still not at a bottom. Headwinds include potential incremental senior management departures, H200 write down charges, potential risk channel revenue adjustments, potential litigation/fines, uncertainties until new CEO is announced along with the risk of some market share loss in 2029 as customers make contingency plans on a major top management transition and looking beyond the current product roadmap, along with more clarity on the next CEO's views regarding customer financings.

The earlier Nvidia can unpack what is under its control, the better.We surmise a lot of these hurdles, short of a new CEO, will clear by mid-February earnings.
