Goalkeeper Hannes Thor Halldorsson saved a penalty taken by Lionel Messi that would have put Argentina up 2-1 at the break, and have an arguably better chance than the South Americans of making the last 16 phase of the competition.

The president’s decision last week to kill top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani without briefing congressional leaders, also known as the Gang of Eight, until after the fact, has sparked a fierce debate over the role of lawmakers in waging war.

Although two Republican senators have indicated they will support the legislation, most of Trump’s proponents have defended the president’s military powers....

Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court, Director of Strategic Partnerships Alison Dreith said the organization is assisting nearly 200 clients weekly, a jump she described as “dramatic” and “overwhelming.” Founded in 2014, MAC has assisted clients in all 30 states of the Midwest to access safe and legal abortion. Dreith said that the group focuses on providing practical support for abortion rather than funding the cost for the procedure itself, which includes facilitating travel logistics and covering costs such as food, lodging and even childcare for patients traveling with families....

Donavon Burton, aged 22, of Bloomington, Illinois, began hanging the flag on his balcony last month to protest police brutality, after seeing videos of Black people dying in police custody. He lives with his fiancée and son. Burton told The Pantagraph: “It’s for my first son. Thinking about him growing up in a world where there is so much injustice scares me.

The activist had that message across her scarf which she turned into a banner, and directed it at all the candidates in Detroit but Biden in particular, because he has not apologized for the more than 3 million deportations that occurred while he served in the Obama White House. ​​"I did this because the immigrant community in Michigan is facing a crisis and we need our voices and our demand to be heard: any candidate who claims to be against Trump’s raids and family separations needs to make a real commitment to protect all 11 million undocumented immigrants from detention and deportation," Ofelia, a leader with immigrant rights group Movimiento Cosecha in Detroit who only wanted to be identified by her first name, said in a statement to Newsweek on Wednesday....

The U.S. deported 59,011 noncitizens, a decrease to the lowest number in the agency’s history, according to the Associated Press.

Biden’s immigration policies have been at the center of discussions on both sides of the aisle in Congress for months, as more than 100 House Democrats signed a letter Thursday requesting that the administration review several ICE policies, facilities and contracts....

But now the House has just 31 days left before the end of their year, and one potential action on the roster that would predominate all others: Impeachment. President Trump’s controversial phone call with Ukrainian president and former television actor Volodymyr Zelensky, where he reportedly suggested the country’s government investigate his potential 2020 competitor Joe Biden, has gotten the president into very hot water. Last night, the Washington Post reported that the president had ordered a hold on military aid to Ukraine just days before calling Zelensky....

THOMAS: Is your new book autobiographical? PINGEOT: No, it’s not. I think all writers transform their experiences into something different in their writing. The story recounts the moment in adolescence when we must figure out who we are. Your first novel, “Premier Roman,” was shredded by critics. Especially in Paris. But the criticism wasn’t about the book. My father had a difficult rapport with the press. I inherited a lot of these conflicts, and they took this vengeance out on my book....
