🇲🇽 Mexico’s World Cup mood turns uneasy after cartel battles. Mexico is still absorbing the shock of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera’s killing. Soldiers and cartel gunmen kept fighting a day later in Jalisco and Michoacán. President Claudia Sheinbaum said there was no direct threat to the World Cup. She also admitted security concerns are now part of the tournament conversation. Jalisco officials reported 30 detainees, including seven minors, after new clashes. Sheinbaum said 25 National Guard troops have died since Friday. Guadalajara is set to host four matches at Estadio Akron this summer. Mexico also hosts games in Monterrey and at Azteca in Mexico City. Portugal’s federation said it could review plans if violence stays uncontrolled. El Mencho may be dead, but the international football schedule now travels with body armor.

🇫🇷 Louvre chief resigns after crown jewels heist fallout. Louvre director Laurence des Cars resigned after months of pressure in Paris. The trigger was October’s brazen theft of French crown jewels. The heist happened in broad daylight inside the Galerie d’Apollon. French officials called it a security failure at a national symbol. President Emmanuel Macron accepted her resignation and named a replacement immediately. The museum said attendance still hit 8.7M visitors in 2025. More than half of those visitors came from outside France. Versailles drew 2.7M and kept the comparison politically uncomfortable. Investigators also said no stolen jewels had been recovered. A museum can survive crowds, but not a headline that empties its vaults.

🎤 Trump uses a marathon speech to sell a winning story. President Donald Trump delivered the longest-ever State of the Union at over 100 minutes, breaking his own record from the previous year’s speech to a joint Congressional session. He leaned hard on the phrase that America is “winning so much”. He also joked aloud about whether he should seek a third term. Trump claimed inflation was fading and prices were moving down. He cited the Dow Jones crossing 50K. He also pitched $1K government-backed investment accounts for children. The speech tried to turn economic anxiety into campaign-stage confidence. He praised tariffs again even after court setbacks this week. Democrats stayed in the chamber but looked less like partners than props. The night was part policy brief and part ratings play.

🏛️ The designated survivor waits far from the applause. One cabinet secretary always skips the speech for a grim reason. Under succession law, that official is the designated survivor. If catastrophe hits the Capitol, that person could become president. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Doug Collins filled that role this year. Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said the weight feels abstract until it does not. Former Commerce Secretary Gary Locke recalled getting the “nuclear football” nearby. Former Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman remembered secret flights and a quiet apartment. Former Veterans Affairs Secretary James Nicholson said the role felt enormous. Nicholson also worried because his wife was inside the chamber. It is the loneliest seat in government, reserved for the worst math imaginable.

🗽 Snowball fight in Manhattan turns into an NYPD probe. The New York Police Department (NYPD) said officers were hit during a huge snowball fight. The incident unfolded at Washington Square Park in Manhattan on Monday. Video shows snowballs striking officers from multiple directions. The officers then shoved at least two people as the barrage continued. One person also smeared snow onto an officer’s head from behind. The NYPD stated multiple officers were hit in the face. Officials said Emergency Medical Services (EMS) took them to a hospital stable. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch called the conduct disgraceful and criminal. Mayor Zohran Mamdani urged respect, then dismissed the severity of the incident as a snowball fight amongst kids. The city’s police union said that framing turned an assault into a shrug.

⚖️ Court shields the mail service in an intentional no-delivery case. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled 6-3 for the mail service. The case involved Christmas gifts that were never delivered in South Carolina. A woman argued a postal worker intentionally blocked the package. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion. He said federal law still preserves immunity for lost or delayed mail claims. The majority read that protection broadly, even when conduct is intentional. A postal worker in the case was later convicted and imprisoned. Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented and called the result hard to defend. The decision narrows one more path for suing the government. Your missing package now has a constitutional bodyguard.
