The 2034 World Cup was officially awarded to Saudi Arabia, FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced Wednesday following a virtual congress. The decision, however, comes with pushback from groups that criticize Saudi Arabia’s human rights record. A joint statement from 21 organizations — with signatories from international trade unions and global human rights organizations such as Amnesty International — called the move a “moment of great danger” for human rights. “FIFA’s reckless decision to award the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia without ensuring adequate human rights protections are in place will put many lives at risk,” the statement read. Hassan al-Thawadi, secretary general of Qatar’s World Cup organizing committee, told Piers Morgan in 2022 that “between 400 and 500” migrants died but he did not “have the exact number.”The United States, Mexico and Canada will host the upcoming World Cup in 2026.

WASHINGTON — A massive defense policy bill on track to clear the House on Wednesday includes a ban on gender-affirming care for children of servicemembers — a provision that sparked opposition from the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. The sweeping must-pass bill — known as the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA — was negotiated between senior House and Senate lawmakers. “[B]lanketly denying health care to people who need it — just because of a biased notion against transgender people — is wrong,” Smith said in a statement Tuesday. The NDAA, which authorizes appropriations for the Defense Department and sets defense policies, expires at the end of the year. However, House and Senate negotiators couldn't reach agreement on "sufficient pro-life protections," the speaker's office said.

Tasked with coordinating Trump’s core campaign promise of a mass deportation, Homan has used the appearances to begin detailing how the efforts might take shape and how the administration will move its plan forward. Homan has not been as direct as Trump has about how he sees the military’s role in the operation he will oversee. Tom Homan, who does not have to face Senate confirmation, has been going on Fox News and other conservative outlets to talk about Trump's plans on immigration. Funding mass deportationA major outstanding question, however, remains how the incoming Trump administration would fund a deportation scheme at that large a scale. “For those governors and mayors who are saying they’re going to stop Tom Homan, they’re going to stop President Trump: Shame on you,” Homan said on Fox News on Nov. 20.

Albertsons on Wednesday formally terminated its proposed $25 billion merger with Kroger and filed a lawsuit against its supermarket competitor, saying Kroger violated its contract and didn’t follow through on commitments to help get the deal approved. It comes a day after a judge blocked the planned tie-up. About two years ago, Kroger announced plans to buy Albertsons and combine forces to fend off Walmart, Amazon and Costco. The deal would have put nearly 40 supermarket chains, including Kroger’s Fred Meyer and Albertsons’ Safeway under a single company. The companies are at odds about who should pay for the legal fees associated with the merger and who, if anyone, is responsible for paying a breakup fee.

So to say Michigan Democrats were shocked by the mayor's decision to go independent is a bit of understatement. In my experience, most independent candidates who previously ran and won as Democrats or Republicans but then switch do so out of some political necessity. For the less politically engaged, a category that includes many key swing voters, this is a very appealing elevator pitch. But not every state party will be as desperate as Kansas Democrats were in accepting a party-switcher as its party savior. Ultimately, the national environment has never looked more enticing for independent candidates to disrupt the two-party duopoly.

It's been a difficult year for China's economy, but the country is still expected to hit its GDP growth target, thanks to strong global demand for its exports.
