Authored by Luis Cornelio via Headline USA,
Leaders behind the 2026 FIFA World Cup rebuked New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill after she launched what appeared to be a social media campaign complaining that the state would be stuck footing the bill for public transportation tied to the event.
The 2026 World Cup is set to span multiple days, including eight matches at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium in June.

To combat the dwindling supply, the EU is reportedly developing an emergency plan to maximize refinery output and stabilize fuel distribution.
Fatih Birol, the director of the IEA, stated that these disruptions are a direct consequence of the ongoing blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
He emphasized the gravity of the situation, warning: “The longer the blockade lasts, the worse it will be for world economic growth and inflation.”
The crisis is expected to move from logistical ...

Bankrupt Spirit Airlines "could liquidate as early as this week," according to a new CNBC report. The troubled carrier, stuck in years of turbulence, has failed to emerge from its second bankruptcy in less than a year and is now being squeezed by soaring jet fuel costs.
NEW: Spirit Airlines could liquidate and shut down as soon as this week, @lesliejosephs of @CNBC reports, citing “people familiar with the matter.”

When the budget carrier would begin the liquidation process was not immediately clear to CNBC's sources, but the report comes just after an overnight Bloomberg story warned about the "risk of liquidation" due to the latest surge in jet fuel prices.
