World Cup Health Alert: U.S. Measles Cases Hit 2,030 Days Before Kickoff

With only three days until kickoff, health officials are warning that the 2026 World Cup could be a perfect storm for infectious diseases. Measles cases in the U.S. have already hit 2,030 this year, nearly matching the total for all of 2025. Between a new Ebola emergency in Africa and a U.S. retreat from global health funding, the stakes feel high. But history suggests these events are often more resilient than the models predict.

The Plot to Oust Karim Khan: ICC Moves to Sidestep Judicial Reports

The International Criminal Court is careening toward a major internal crisis. On Monday, June 8, its governing body will vote on whether to push out Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan.

With Khan leading high-stakes probes into Gaza, the move looks less like an HR matter and more like a political power play that could shatter the court's independence.
