ATLANTA (AP) — President Joe Biden's administration announced Tuesday that the U.S. Department of Energy will make a $6.6 billion loan to Rivian Automotive to build a factory in Georgia that had stalled as the startup electric vehicle maker struggled to become profitable. It's unclear whether the administration can complete the loan before Donald Trump becomes president again in less than two months, or whether the Trump administration might try to claw the money back. Trump previously vowed to end federal electric vehicle tax credits , which are worth up to $7,500 for new zero-emission vehicles and $4,000 for used ones. Rivian made a splash when it went public and began producing large electric R1 SUVs, pickup trucks and delivery vans at a former Mitsubishi factory in Normal, Illinois, in 2021. Months later, the California-based company announced it would build a second, larger, $5 billion plant about 40 miles (64 kilometers) east of Atlanta, near the town of Social Circle. The R1 vehicles cost $70,000 or more. The company plans to produce R2 vehicles, a smaller SUV, in Georgia with lower price tags aimed at a mass market. The first phase of Rivian’s Georgia factory is projected to make 200,000 vehicles a year, with a second phase capable of another 200,000 a year. Eventually, the plant is projected to employ 7,500 workers. But Rivian was unable to meet production and sales targets and rapidly burned through cash. In March, the company said it would pause construction of the Georgia plant. The company said it would begin assembling its R2 SUV in Illinois instead. CEO RJ Scaringe said the move would allow Rivian to start selling the R2 sooner and save $2.25 billion in capital spending. Since then, German automaker Volkswagen AG said in June it would invest $5 billion in Rivian in a joint venture in which Rivian would share software and electrical technology with Volkswagen. The money eased Rivian's cash crunch. Tuesday's announcement throws a lifeline to Rivian's grander plans. The company said its plans to make the R2 and the smaller R3 in Georgia are back on and that production will begin in 2028. “This loan would enable Rivian to more aggressively scale our U.S. manufacturing footprint for our competitively priced R2 and R3 vehicles that emphasize both capability and affordability,” Scaringe said in a statement. The Energy Department said the loan would substantially boost electric vehicles made in the United States and support Biden’s goal of having zero-emission vehicles make up half of all new U.S. sales by 2030. “As one of a few American EV startups with light duty vehicles already on the road, Rivian’s Georgia facility will allow the company to reach production volumes that make its products more cost competitive and accelerate access to international markets,” the department said in a statement. The loan includes $6 billion, plus $600 million in interest that will be rolled into the principal. The money would come from the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program, which provides low-interest loans to make fuel-efficient vehicles and components. The program has focused mostly on loans to new battery factories for electric vehicles under Biden, but earlier helped finance initial production of the Tesla Model S and Nissan Leaf, two pioneering electric vehicles. The loan program, created in 2007, requires a "reasonable prospect of repayment" of the loan. Under Biden, the program has announced deals totaling $33.3 billion, including $9.2 billion for massive battery plants in Tennessee and Kentucky for Ford’s electric vehicles. Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff , who has been a vocal supporter of electric vehicle and solar manufacturing in Georgia, hailed Tuesday's announcement as “yet another historic federal investment in Georgia electric vehicle manufacturing.” Ossoff had asked Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to support the loan in July. “Our federal manufacturing incentives are driving economic development across the state of Georgia,” Ossoff said in a statement. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says his goal is to make Georgia a center of the electric vehicle industry. But the Republican has had a strained relationship with the Biden administration over its industrial policy, even as some studies have found Georgia has netted more electric vehicle investment than any other state. Kemp has long claimed that manufacturers were picking Georgia before Biden's signature climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act, was passed. Efforts to bring Rivian to Georgia predated the Biden administration and "our shared vision to bring opportunity to Georgia will remain no matter who resides in the White House or what party controls Congress,” Kemp spokesperson Garrison Douglas said Tuesday. The loan to Rivian could rescue one of the Kemp administration's signature economic development projects even as Biden leaves office. That could put Rivian and Kemp in the position of defending the loan if Trump tries to quash it. State and local governments offered Rivian an incentive package worth an estimated $1.5 billion in 2022. Neighbors opposed to development of the Georgia site mounted legal challenges. State and local governments spent around $125 million to buy and prepare the nearly 2,000-acre (810-hectare) site. The state also has completed most of $50 million in roadwork that it pledged. The pause at Rivian contrasts with rapid construction at Hyundai Motor Group’s $7.6 billion electric vehicle and battery complex near Savannah. The Korean automaker said in October that it had begun production in Ellabell, where it plans to eventually employ 8,500.

SINGAPORE: A local Reddit user asked if anyone else felt “left behind in life.” On the r/askSingapore forum on Thursday (Nov 21), he wrote that while people around him going on vacation, having six-figure savings, eating expensive food, buying Rolex watches, buying flats, and other such examples of prosperity in their 30s, they barely have any money to put away at the end of the month despite working two jobs. He wrote that they can “barely provide” for their parents, neither of whom works, and he himself has to face their “never-ending” household, medical, food, loan, and other bills. The money the household makes is not enough to qualify for subsidies, but the post author feels that they don’t have enough to survive. As for their personal expenses, he wrote that they only spend between $550 and $700 a month and live with a laptop and phone that are eight years old. If one of these gadgets breaks down, replacing it will eat into what little savings they have. Although he tried to gain more skills, he doesn’t have a lot of time and money to do so and now feels trapped in a cycle where he wants to grow but can’t while he sees everyone else around achieving everything they dream of. The biggest piece of advice commenters gave him was not to let what he saw on social media dictate his happiness. As one Reddit user wrote, “Repeat after me. Social media is smoke and mirrors.” One commenter admitted that they’ve posted about dining out but, in real life, have to stick to a very strict budget the rest of the time, which no one else sees. Another wrote that when they had to take care of their elderly mother last year after she fell ill, the cleaner in their building reminded them of how lucky they are to still have their mum. “So, sometimes we think our life sucks, but someone else thinks otherwise. Hope you can see the positives in your life right now,” they added. Others commended the post author for working and trying so hard to have a good life and encouraged them to continue to pursue their dreams. /TISG Read also: What are the current struggles of a Singaporean adult?

Instead of delivering the justice her grieving family deserves, Deborah Gonzalez, a George Soros-backed prosecutor, argued that pursuing harsher penalties could lead to “collateral consequences to undocumented defendants.” This twisted rationale sends a chilling message to criminals: Their actions carry little consequence. For Hispanics who value law and order, this decision is especially infuriating. As one of the nation’s fastest-growing, hardest-working communities, Hispanics overwhelmingly believe in justice, fairness and accountability. Many came to this country legally, enduring long waits and countless sacrifices, driven by the promise of an America where the rule of law reigns supreme. Woke prosecutors like Gonzalez betray these principles, putting political correctness over the safety and dignity of victims. This tragedy is not an isolated case. Across the nation, innocent lives are lost due to policies that prioritize shielding criminals over enforcing justice. Laken Riley’s murder follows a pattern seen in cases like Kathryn Steinle in California, killed by an illegal alien with multiple deportations, and Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa, whose life was stolen by another undocumented criminal . These names are not mere statistics — they are human beings, families devastated by preventable crimes. Instead of standing with victims, the radical Left and woke prosecutors create a two-tiered justice system. On one side are law-abiding citizens and legal immigrants who face the full weight of the law. On the other, criminals are shielded by the failed open-border policies of the Biden-Harris administration. This double standard undermines the very foundation of America’s justice system. The woke narrative has a devastating impact, especially on the Hispanic community. Sanctuary city policies protect predators who often victimize their neighbors, while weak border enforcement empowers drug cartels and human traffickers to wreak havoc on our families. In Massachusetts, ICE recently arrested two illegal immigrants charged with child rape, including one who was released at the U.S. border in 2022 and later found hiding in the state. These horrific incidents prove that weak immigration policies and lack of enforcement disproportionately harm the very communities woke leaders claim to protect. Yet, radical leaders refuse to take accountability. Even when tragedies like Laken Riley’s murder occur, Democrats like President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and their allies double down. They apologize not for the policies that allow criminals to enter and reenter the United States, but for using terms like “illegal immigrant” to describe those who break the law. This denial of reality shows a blatant disregard for victims, their families, and the rule of law . For many Hispanic families, this is personal. We know what is at stake because we have lived it. We came to America seeking a better life, not to see our neighborhoods plagued by lawlessness or our values dismissed by out-of-touch elites. Hard work, faith, family and justice are pillars of our community, and policies that sacrifice these principles for political agendas are unacceptable. The America First movement stands firm against this betrayal. We believe in securing the border , enforcing immigration laws and ensuring equal justice for all regardless of race, ethnicity or status. Upholding these principles honors the millions of immigrants who followed the rules to pursue the American dream and ensures a safe, prosperous future for all. The America First movement also offers hope and a clear path forward. President-elect Donald Trump and his administration will implement strong border security measures that prioritize the safety of our communities. Trump’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws and closing loopholes will send a clear message: criminal behavior will not be tolerated, and the rule of law will be upheld. His leadership will ensure that law enforcement has the tools and support necessary to prevent tragedies like Laken Riley’s and to dismantle the networks of cartels and traffickers exploiting open-border policies. Democrat mayors who embrace sanctuary city policies have brought these problems into their own communities. By housing illegal aliens, diverting significant taxpayer dollars to provide them with assistance and refusing to cooperate with immigration enforcement, they have turned their cities into magnets for crime and chaos. These policies have strained public services, endangered law-abiding citizens, and betrayed the hardworking families who play by the rules. Hispanics have united to say: “No more.” No more prioritizing criminals over victims. No more appeasing radical ideologies at the expense of justice. And no more allowing woke leaders to silence our voices and sacrifice our safety. By supporting strong leadership and America First policies, we will honor the legacy of victims like Laken Riley, protect the sacrifices of millions of legal immigrants, and secure the promise of America for generations to come. The time to act is now – because every life, every victim and every family deserves justice. Jorge Martinez serves as Hispanic outreach strategist and Spanish spokesperson for America First Works.

It’s Thumbs-down for the Forgettable Ending of Gladiator IIDENVER (AP) — Travis Hunter made a pair of proclamations Thursday: He’s for sure entering the NFL draft after this season, but not until he sees Colorado all the way through the College Football Playoff — if the Buffaloes make it there. The first was already a given for the draft-eligible junior who plays both receiver and cornerback. The second is a risk-reward play for a projected high first-round pick who averages around 120 snaps a game. In years past, it took two extra postseason wins to capture a national title. Now, it could take up to four additional contests. That’s more of a chance to shine, but also more chance for an injury. “I don’t think nobody will opt out because you’re showing NFL teams that you’re more focused on something else, other than the team goal,” Hunter said of the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff. “So I don’t think players are going to opt out of the playoffs.” Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders chatted Thursday in a set of Zoom calls about turning around the program at Colorado (from 4-8 last season to bowl eligibility), chasing a Big 12 title, turning pro — Hunter acknowledged he will “for sure” — and, of course, the Heisman race, where Hunter is currently the odds-on favorite in an award each wants to see the other win. “He’s deserving of it, and if it’s between me and him, I want him to get it,” said Sanders, whose 16th-ranked Buffaloes (8-2, 6-1 Big 12, No. 16 CFP ) travel to Arrowhead Stadium to face Kansas (4-6, 3-4) this weekend. “He does a lot of amazing things that have never been done before.” Countered Hunter: “I know he wants me to win it, but I also want him to win as bad as I want to win it.” Hunter is a generational talent shining on both sides of the ball. As a receiver, he has 74 catches for 911 yards and nine touchdowns. On defense, he has picked off three passes, even though teams are reluctant to throw his direction. Like he did in high school and now in college, he believes he can do both on the next level. But he understands the trepidation of the NFL team that picks him. “They don’t want their top pick to go down too early," Hunter said. “I like when people tell me I can’t do it, because they just motivate me to continue to do what I want to do.” Sanders is turning in a stellar season as well with 27 touchdown passes, one away from tying Sefo Liufau for the most in a single season in program history. He's projected to be one of the first QBs off the draft board. The future certainly looks bright at Colorado thanks to the legacies Sanders and Hunter under coach Deion Sanders. But that's a point to ponder later. “I can’t think too much forward past Saturday,” Shedeur Sanders cracked. “The main thing is winning the Big 12 championship. That’s the main thing we’re focused on." Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
