WASHINGTON — Drug overdose deaths hit the highest level ever recorded in the United States last year, with an estimated 200 people dying per day, according to a report by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Most of that was the result of a record number of opioid-related deaths. Preliminary figures show more than 72,000 people died in 2017 from drug overdoses across the country. About a week ago, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said overdose deaths, while still slowly rising, were beginning to level off. Читать дальше...

Vilifying China is one of Trump’s most hackneyed talking points. In his perennial hunt for an entity to attribute the economic hardships the United States is facing, the Asian superpower is always a prime candidate to take all the blame. Addressing such political mistrust, the feature documentary “Better Angels,” from two-time Oscar-winning director Malcolm Clarke (“Prisoner of Paradise”), argues that it’s only by setting our sights on civilians — referred to here as “accidental diplomats” — building...

But on Thursday, Green suddenly announced she would drop out of the race and endorsed Sinema. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump and immigration (all times local): 3:20 p.m. President Donald Trump says if migrants throw rocks at U.S. troops or border patrol officers, they're not going to be shot, but they're "going to be arrested for a long period of time." Trump had said that he told the U.S. military mobilizing at the southwest border that if U.S. troops face rock-throwing migrants, they should react as though the rocks were "rifles." But Trump said at the White House... Читать дальше...

WWE held a World Cup Tournament to (as we were constantly reminded) “determine the best in the world” Friday at the “Crown Jewel” pay-per-view event in Saudi Arabia. Somehow — and for some reason — “SmackDown Live” General Manager Shane McMahon won the trophy. If that sounds confusing to readers unable to watch the workday event, it is, because Shane O’Mac wasn’t even booked to wrestle in the tournament. Hell, he’s not even a real wrestler. The son of WWE chairman Vince McMahon subbed himself into the finals vs. Читать дальше...

PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Jerry Brown is making a rare campaign appearance to oppose a measure that would roll back transportation investments under his watch. Brown gave a short speech Friday during a rally at a Silicon Valley park near the notoriously congested Highway 101.

In a 90-second speech, Brown said that "killing Proposition 6" is the thing to do and that the measure was cooked up... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — One screen is no longer enough for journalists planning their coverage of the midterm elections next week. Television networks and other news organizations recognize that many people will follow the results on TV with a pad or smartphone in their hands, or avoid television altogether.

The absence of a presidential election providing... Читать дальше...
