He continued: “To play in a World Cup is really special. I had the opportunity to play in one and we won it, which is not easy at all. [It] was in the middle of a season so this one [next summer] is going to be different.“But I don’t think about the future. I know some players worry about getting injured before the World Cup, but I don’t think that way. I always say that you have to go 100 per cent every single game.“It’s not going to be easy [to defend the World Cup] because there will be a…

The 20-page report, overseen by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., promises to put an end to childhood diseases in the U.S. by refocusing the nation’s public health agencies on the topics that those in Kennedy’s wide-ranging and politically diverse “MAHA” movement have demanded the government prioritize.

Over the last decade, I’ve founded multiple companies, interviewed over 500 candidates, and hired more than 100 people. As the CEO of two companies, I’ve made every hiring mistake you can imagine — and learned how costly they are.The truth is, many bad hires look great on paper.

The rare mid-decade redistricting plan, which now heads to the state Senate, is aimed at bolstering Republicans’ national prospects in next year’s U.S. House elections, where Democrats need to gain just three seats to take control. By reshaping a Democratic-held Kansas City district, Republicans could win seven of Missouri’s eight congressional seats.Missouri’s effort comes after a similar move by…

The labor market created far fewer jobs than previously thought, according to a Labor Department report Tuesday that added to concerns both about the health of the economy and the state of data collection.Annual revisions to nonfarm payrolls data for the year prior to March 2025 showed a drop of 911,000 from the initial estimates, according to a preliminary report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
