Veteran’s Day Looks Different As Government Shutdown Impacts Veterans Affair Department

The government shutdown has halted many services managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Although Veterans’ Day honors the contributions of former military members, this year’s federal holiday may look a little different amid a government shutdown.

The shutdown has essentially halted many federal agencies and operations, from the release of SNAP benefits to those working at Air Traffic Control centers. While many federal workers have felt the effects of the shutdown, another group of service members and veterans has also taken a hit, even on their designated day of recognition.

Celebrated on Nov. 11, Veterans’ Day is an official day of remembrance for all who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. However, the shutdown has stunted the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, leaving many of its services and employees on hold. The VA manages the rollout of healthcare, pensions, and other benefits to veterans nationwide.

According to USA Today, many VA employees were furloughed following the shutdown. Initial numbers presumed only 15,000 of the 460,000 employed under the VA would face furloughs. However, actual figures revealed that 37,000 employees were suspended or working without a full paycheck.

The staff shortage left many operations in limbo, including transition briefings for those leaving the Armed Forces. Career counseling for the approximately 100,000 veterans enrolled in the VA’s Readiness and Employment program has also been paused. Additionally, more than 50 regional benefit offices faced closures amid the shutdown.

With GI Bill hotlines unplugged as well as stalled placements of permanent headstones at almost 100 VA cemeteries, veterans have faced their own unique struggles as the government attempts to reopen. Those needing pre-need burial support are also waiting for Congress to pass a deal.

This is also threatening to the nation’s prominent Black veteran population. According to the Black Veterans Empowerment Council, there remain over 2 million Black vets across the country. This demographic accounts for 12% of the total number of former military men and women.

While benefits have continued to roll out, the discontinuation of several essential VA services has made this Veteran’s Day an outlier. Fortunately, VA medical centers and other services remain operational, including burials, housing benefits, compensation, and the review of veterans’ cases. Suicide prevention programs and the Veteran Primary Call Center, Crisis and Benefit Hotlines still operate.

However, the celebration of Veterans’ Day has been slightly overshadowed by the stifled VA services prompted by the federal crisis. While the government shutdown is nearing an end, departments from the USDA to VA will need time to recover from the halted operations.

Two Can Play That Game: Gov. Wes Moore Says Maryland ‘Wont Just Sit On Our Hands’ In Redistricting Fight

Moore announced the commission’s formation in early November in an effort to draw 'fair maps,' unlike his Republican counterparts.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore says he is standing up to President Donald Trump and Republicans’ redistricting scheme by creating a committee that could potentially push out the only seat held by a Republican in the state, CBS News reports.

During a sit-down on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan,” Moore said he’s “not sure why we should be playing by a different set of rules than Texas, or than Florida, or than Ohio or all these other places,” highlighting the headlining push from red-leaning states to give in to Trump’s demand. The Democratic governor says the state will prove to be one that’s not afraid to fight back. “I want this bipartisan commission to be able to actually speak with the people and to be able to go through their process and just simply say that if other states are going to go through this process, that we’re not just going to sit on our hands because Donald Trump tells us to,” Moore said.

“That’s not the way this process is going to work.”

Moore announced the commission’s formation in early November 2025 to draw “fair maps,” unlike his Republican counterparts. In July 2025, Texas answered Trump’s call to redistrict Democratic areas for the GOP. However, state Democratic leaders protested by leaving the state to avoid a vote that could advance the mission.

Maryland law outlines that congressional maps should be drawn by the state Assembly, a supermajority of Democrats. Moore would have to call a special session of the Assembly to move forward with the plan. Chaired by Maryland Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, the commission consists of Senate President Bill Ferguson, Maryland House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones, former Attorney General Brian Frosh, and Cumberland Mayor Raymond Morriss.

However, leaders like Ferguson are seemingly opposed to the redistricting effort, citing high-risk legal issues in a letter. “Mid-cycle redistricting for Maryland presents a reality where the legal risks are too high, the timeline for action is dangerous, the downside risk to Democrats is catastrophic, and the certainty of our existing map would be undermined,” the Senate President wrote.

But Moore says that, for democracy, nothing is too risky, as both he and Ferguson agree that Trump has taken things to the limit, and it’s time for a change. “Where we differ is the urgency that this moment requires, the fight that this moment requires,” Moore said.

“And I personally am someone who is not going to allow Donald Trump to determine whether or not Maryland follows this idea of saying, are we going to do everything we can to make sure we’re preserving our democracy.”

The call for change comes after California voters’ historic vote to pass Proposition 50, according to The Hill, giving the state Legislature the green light to take over the state’s congressional maps until the state’s independent commission takes control in 2030.

The proposition received 64% support.

Alabama State University Takes Home The Win At 10th Annual BE SMART HBCU Hackathon

The team’s winning App would address maternal health crisis in rural Alabama

As Black women are disproportionately affected by the nation’s maternal health crisis, students at Alabama State University (ASU) created a mobile app to address this and won first place at the 2025 BE SMART HBCU Hackathon.

“Winning this Hackathon is an incredible honor for our team. It reflects the hard work, creativity, and collaboration we’ve built together and highlights the strength of our school’s support for innovation,” said Oluwatodimu Jonathan Adegoke, a junior computer science major at ASU.

The 10^th annual Hackathon, themed “Built Different, Built Brilliant,” returned to Charlotte Nov. 5 – 8, where Queen City Mayor Vi Lyles greeted students from more than three dozen historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), including two teams from Charlotte’s own HBCU, Johnson C. Smith University. She discussed the job opportunities available in the city.

“We need new engineers. We need people who are going to help us build a greater city,” Lyles told BLACK ENTERPRISE. “We want people to come to Charlotte, North Carolina, especially these young people.”

American Airlines Vice President of Customer Intelligence Saba Beyene said that more than 50 former Hackathon participants have been hired by American Airlines, which returned as the Hackathon’s host sponsor. BLACK ENTERPRISE CEO Earl “Butch” Graves, Jr., told the audience of more than 300 HBCU students about the importance of the Hackathon, which has helped fulfill a need over the past decade to recruit talented Black students into tech careers.

Preparing HBCU students for Tech Careers

On Nov. 6, Sponsor Day, students listened to sage advice and helpful tips from sponsors while also presenting their resumes during a career fair. Leaders from Verizon spoke to students about gaining visibility through intentional networking. Fidelity Investments leaders walked through useful tools for developing investment habits, and Toyota leaders shared professional and personal tips for building a meaningful career during the transition from college. Various leaders from American Air helped prep students for technical interviews and highlighted the company’s early-career talent development program, ADEPT. Representatives from each of these four companies also served as tech mentors and judges.

During the 24-hour coding competition from Nov. 7-8, each of the 62 teams was challenged with developing an app that solves an issue in their respective communities. Judges assessed the team’s application impact, technical complexity, and user-friendliness, and also rated teams on their pitch and presentation skills. All competitors were computer science, computer engineering, and cybersecurity majors.

A suite of prizes was offered to winners, including AAdvantage miles from American Airlines, savvy digital devices like laptops and gaming keyboards, branded blankets and bags, tumblers, and useful tech gear. Thanks to PepsiCo and McDonald’s, students from the top three winning teams collectively took home more than $100,000 in cash to split amongst team members. Additional sponsors for the 10th annual BE Smart Hackathon include The City of Charlotte, NASCAR, and Nationwide, marking the largest Hackathon sponsor pool to date.

Addressing Community Needs Through Technology

Via ASU’s proposed MomCare app, women in rural Selma, Alabama—some of whom team members said have to travel up to 100 miles to the nearest obstetrician—would receive expedited services via virtual consultations, answers on medication and food risks while pregnant, belly-bump photo assessments, and much more. The winning team members, in addition to Oluwatodimu Jonathan Adegoke, are Oluwakanyinsola Erinle, Abigiya Mesfin, George-Michael Kondoun, and Jamerio Robinson; all computer science majors, ranging from a sophomore to three juniors and one senior at the Montgomery, Alabama, HBCU.

Adegoke and Mesfin both competed in the BE SMART Hackathon last year and were excited for this year’s win.

“This experience motivates us to continue pursuing meaningful projects in tech that can have real-world impact,” said Adegoke, “and it inspires us to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in our future careers.”

In second place was “Team Albert & Friends” from North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC. Their app allows users to locate food pantries by zip code and includes a feature that turns grocery store receipts into recipes.

In third place was “Team HackHouse” from Morehouse College in Atlanta. The quad developed Launchpad, an app that connects students to careers in technology, which was timely and relevant given the Hackathon’s objective to connect students to meaningful tech internships and career opportunities.

Team Albert & Friends from N.C. Central University placed 2nd at the 2025 BE SMART Hackathon.

A team from Fisk University and from Grambling State University advanced to the top 5 and presented their apps on stage, after which the judges narrowed it down to the three winners.

See a complete list of winners’ prizes here. Prizes were also given to students who proudly represented their Hackathon experience in a major way on social media.

SZA Partners With Jon & Vinny’s to Serve 1,400 Free Meals Amid SNAP Crisis

As millions of Americans face uncertainty over food assistance during the ongoing government shutdown, SZA’s NOT Charity teams up with a beloved Los Angeles restaurant to feed families in need.

As the nation’s most vulnerable brace for food insecurity amid a prolonged government shutdown, Grammy-winning artist SZA has stepped in to help. Her nonprofit organization, NOT Charity, has joined forces with the Los Angeles-based Italian eatery Jon & Vinny’s to provide 1,400 free meals to residents affected by the suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

“Y’all know how much I love Jon and Vinny’s,” SZA wrote in a shared Instagram post with the restaurant on Nov 10. “But it ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none!!”

According to Jon & Vinny’s, the collaboration was born from SZA’s own outreach. “Last week [SZA] reached out to us with an idea and now, with her help, it’s a reality,” the restaurant announced. “Over the next seven days, we are partnering with her NOT Charity to provide 1,400 free meals (100 dinners for two per day) for Los Angeles community members who receive SNAP.”

View this post on Instagram

Meals will be available for pickup at Jon & Vinny’s Slauson location from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily, beginning Nov. 11 through Nov. 17. The restaurant thanked SZA for “inspiring all of us to be there for our neighbors.” Recipients can sign up by emailing notcharity@jonandvinnys.com, with a limit of four meals per family.

The initiative comes as the future of SNAP remains uncertain for the 5.5 million Californians who rely on it. With the government shutdown now in its sixth week, many families are struggling to keep food on the table. The Trump administration has petitioned the Supreme Court to maintain a freeze on full SNAP payments, despite lower court rulings requiring that benefits continue during the stoppage.

According to the Associated Press, the administration argues that resuming full funding could hinder negotiations in Congress. Meanwhile, the human toll is mounting — families skipping meals, food pantries stretched thin, and communities bracing for hunger just weeks before Thanksgiving.

On Monday, the Senate passed legislation to end the record-breaking shutdown and sent it to the House for approval. But as lawmakers remain gridlocked, SZA’s grassroots gesture offers immediate relief.

Formerly Incarcerated Man Warns How ‘5 Minutes Of Emotion’ Cost 20 Years In Prison

A resurfaced Facebook post by user “Felon Love” has sparked powerful online reactions after he shared how a single emotional decision led to two decades behind bars — and a lifetime of regret.

An Oct. 25 repost of a Dec. 21, 2024 Facebook post has gone viral for highlighting a vulnerable story from a user known as Felon Love about the events that led to him going to prison.

View this post on Instagram

Felon Love began the original post, “5 minutes cost me 20 YEARS of my life because I made a permanent decision off a temporary emotion.”

He continued, “Here’s how it played out: 1 Minute: Felt disrespected. 3 Minutes: Fight broke out in the club. 1 Minute: Pulled the [gun].”

Felon Love then explained the result of the fight that escalated out of hand. He wrote, “20 Year Prison Sentence. Missed my son’s birth and his first 20 birthdays. Missed my daughters’ birthdays from ages 2-22. $100k in legal fees and a lifetime of “what ifs.”

Felon Love’s story has inspired an outpouring of emotional comments, with others offering their comforts, stories of their own, and pieces of advice.

One user wrote, “Controlling your emotions is not talked about enough! Hating someone more than loving yourself and your freedom is insane! I hope this post help others.”

Another agreed on the merit of the post to hopefully help other young men, writing, “A smart man learns from HIS mistakes, and wise man learns from OTHERS mistakes. Listen up youngstas.”

Some chimed in with stories of their own. “Yeah I just did 20 for something similar and owe more than that along with 15 years paper brother, but I am free and living right, keep ya head up fam we can make it right!”

According to Pew Research, nearly 47,000 people in the U.S. lost their lives to gun-related injuries in 2023, according to newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The total — 46,728 deaths — marks the third-highest annual figure on record, including a record-setting 27,300 suicides. While overall gun deaths declined for the second year in a row, the numbers remain historically high. Firearms were involved in roughly 79% of murders nationwide, accounting for 17,927 of the 22,830 recorded homicides — one of the highest shares since 1968, when the CDC first began tracking such data.

Felon Love concluded his post with a piece of advice.

“ONE emotional decision cost me TWO DECADES away from my family, my freedom, and my life. Those 5 minutes of emotion can change EVERYTHING. The trade-off is never worth it. THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!!”

Roger Mayweather Placed One Boxer Ahead Of Legendary Nephew

"There is no fighter in the history of boxing to do what Ray Robinson has done."

Roger Mayweather, the uncle of undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr., revealed over 10 years ago that he believed his nephew was the second-best boxer in history behind Sugar Ray Robinson.

According to Boxing News Online, Roger Mayweather spoke about his choice in 2012 during a conversation with the media outlet. The elder Mayweather had a boxing record of 59-13 (35 knockouts) before turning his focus to training, including his nephew early in his career.

“[Floyd] is ranked right behind Sugar Ray Robinson. He won seven world titles, didn’t he? He beat everyone from 130 to 154 [pounds]. Where would you put him at? Ray Robinson is the greatest ever period. I don’t care what circumstance, Ray Robinson is the greatest fighter in the history of boxing.

“You know what his record was? 127-1. Do you know any other fighter with a record of 127-1? And the fighter that beat him, [Robinson] beat him six times, Jake LaMotta.”

He said that the only reason Robinson wasn’t undefeated was that LaMotta outweighed him by about 50 pounds. “Ray Robinson wasn’t even really a middleweight fighter but slowly he started putting that weight on and then he smoked [LaMotta] every time,” Roger Mayweather said.

Robinson, who died in 1989, actually ended his career with a record of 174-19 with six draws. During his career, he won the welterweight and middleweight division belts.

“There is no fighter in the history of boxing to do what Ray Robinson has done. But, fighters don’t fight that often anymore, [every] two weeks, three weeks, four weeks. Now they have that whole medical sh*t. Fighters can’t fight as often as they fought back in those days.”

Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired in 2017. According to TMZ, Roger Mayweather died in March 2020 at the age of 58.

Trump’s ‘No Tax On Tips’ Forces Restaurants To Shift Service Fees To Large Groups

Trump’s 'no tax on tips' policy may prompt restaurants to rethink service fees for large parties.

The new “no tax on tips” law could push many restaurants to reconsider their mandatory gratuity policies if they want qualified tips for employees under Trump’s latest tax regulations.

Under Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, certain workers can deduct up to $25,000 in “qualified tips” per year from 2025 through 2028. However, this may pose a challenge for the restaurant and food service industry, as mandatory gratuities of 15% to 20%—commonly applied to parties of six or more—do not qualify for the deduction, CNBC reported.

Under the new policy, restaurants must process all tips through payroll, even if they hadn’t done so previously or had been incorrectly including service fees, so employees can take advantage of the deduction. This will increase pressure on restaurants to handle tips correctly. Jean Hagan of Eisner Advisory Group, which specializes in the restaurant industry, noted during a recent webinar for a major state restaurant association that many owners were surprised to learn that service fees should not be counted as tips.

“They’ve just always been doing it a certain way — passing on the service fees to employees as a tip,” Hagan said.

But under the OBBBA, that will now be required to change.

“They’ve got to clean their systems up and follow the law as it’s always been,” Hagan said. “If they don’t, the employee won’t get the full benefit of the new tax law.”

Changing the long-standing distinction between service fees and tips seems unlikely, despite efforts by restaurant advocates lobbying for a shift in how fees are treated. In September, the IRS issued proposed rules for the new “no tax on tips” deduction. While the rules are not yet final, there appears to be little flexibility, as the language in the OBBBA is clear: only voluntary tips qualify.

“Congressional intent is pretty clear,” said Andrew Lautz, director of tax policy for the Bipartisan Policy Center. “What’s unclear is how restaurants respond to that.”

The clock is ticking as restaurant owners and employees consider their options. With Trump’s OBBBA still new and the IRS finalizing regulations, restaurants and other businesses face a complex situation for employees seeking deductions in 2025.

The AICPA had requested that the Treasury Department and IRS provide a safe harbor for the 2025 tax year, which the IRS issued in early November. Under this guidance, employers will not face penalties for failing to separately account for amounts reasonably designated as cash tips or for the employee receiving them.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Denies ‘Rumors’ Of Being Caught With Alcohol In Prison

Diddy denies claims of being caught with 'homemade alcohol' at Fort Dix prison.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is speaking out about recent reports claiming he was caught drinking alcohol while serving out his prison sentence.

Members of the Bad Boy founder’s team took to his X account on Nov. 8 to refute a TMZ report claiming he was caught drinking a “homemade alcohol” concoction made by fermenting sugar, Fanta soda, and apples.

“The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false,” the since-deleted tweet captured by Page Six read. “His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.”

Juda Engelmayer, a spokesperson for the Combs family, issued a separate statement about the hip-hop mogul’s mindset as he begins his 50-month sentence at the low-security Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey.

“Mr. Combs is in his first week at FCI Fort Dix and is focused on adjusting, working on himself, and doing better each day,” Engelmayer said. “As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there—most of them untrue. We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth with grace and purpose.”

Claims that Combs was in “trouble with prison officials” over the homemade alcohol were also denied, with a prison official stating there was “no information” to support the allegations. The allegations that Combs was drinking while serving his sentence directly contradict his claim of being “sober for the first time in 25 years,” which he wrote in a letter before being sentenced last month to four years and two months in prison.

“I’m proud to say I’m working harder than I ever have before. I’m committed to the journey of remaining a drug-free, non-violent and peaceful person. I thank God that I’m stronger, wiser, clean, clear and sober. God makes no mistakes.”

As part of his sentence, Combs is required to participate in mental health and substance abuse programs and pay a $500,000 fine. He is slated for release in May 2028.

Supreme Court Keeps Same-Sex Marriage Alive, Rejects Overturn Appeal

LGBTQ+ advocates like Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson celebrated the justices’ decision to leave the ruling as is.

The Supreme Court is standing with America’s LGBTQ+ community by rejecting an appeal to overturn the historic 2015 ruling that makes same-sex legal, NBC News reports.

The high court rejected the appeal on Nov. 10 from Kim Davis, the former Rowan County, Kentucky, court clerk who made headlines after refusing to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples even after the ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges without any comments.

Her appeal was brought on 10 years later with potential consideration after the court overturned the landmark abortion rights decision Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Long-standing conservative Justice Clarence Thomas suggested in his Roe opinion that Obergefell and the decisions of other cases should be revisited due to cause for concern. Davis’ legal team, conservative group Liberty Counsel, used Thomas’ words in their cause for appeal, according to HuffPost, however, overturning the case wasn’t the main objective in the appeal.

Liberty Counsel argued Davis should have a religious right not to put her name on same-sex marriage licenses since she is a conservative Christian who doesn’t believe in the practice.

The initial civil rights lawsuit was filed by David Moore and David Ermold, the couple who Davis turned away. Even after a judge ordered her to issue the license, she refused, resulting in the judge holding her in contempt and having to sit behind bars for six days. The controversy resulted in the state changing the law, permitting licenses to be issued without the clerk’s name on it. However, the couple continued to press the suit, winning $100,000 in damages and Davis being required to pay $260,000 in attorney’s fees.

Davis reached the Supreme Court after losing an an appeal at the Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in March, continuing to cite religion as her sole defense.

LGBTQ+ advocates like Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson celebrated the justices’ decision to leave the ruling as is. In a statement, Robinson said the court made it clear that people must respect the constitutional rights of others.

Religious rights have been used as a defense in several major cases expanding the opportunity for people to seek exemptions from objectionable laws due to faith. Alongside Thomas, Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justice Samuel Alito are the other dissenters of Obergefell v. Hodges who still sit on the bench today.

While Roberts has been quiet, Alito has continued his critique but announced he wouldn’t advocate for the ruling to be overturned.

One of the court’s newest faces, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, said while the court should right some of its alleged wrongs, with abortion rights being listed as one of them, same-sex marriage may be different since people have leaned on the decision when they married and had children.
