U.S. Overdose Deaths Fell 27% Last Year

There were 30,000 fewer U.S. drug overdose deaths in 2024 than the year before — the largest one-year decline ever recorded. An estimated 80,000 people died from an overdose 2024. That’s down 27% from the 110,000 in 2023. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data released the data Wednesday. The CDC has been collecting comparable data for 45 years. The previous largest one-year drop was 4% in 2018. Experts say several things could be driving the decline. They include increased availability of the overdose-reversing drug naloxone, expanded addiction treatment and shifts in how people use drugs.

Poll Finds Democrats Are Feeling Pessimistic About Party’s Future

Democrats are down in the dumps following last November’s elections. According to a new AP NORC poll, Democrats are deeply pessimistic about the future of their party. The level of optimism is down sharply from last July — about the time President Biden dropped his re-election bid. Democrats are seeking momentum after losing the White House and both chambers of Congress. The survey also finds neither major political party is viewed favorably by the majority of U.S. adults.

FBI Says Man Was Planning A Mass Shooting At Army Site In Suburban Detroit

A 19-year-old man was arrested after spending months planning an attack against a U.S. Army site in suburban Detroit on behalf of the Islamic State group, authorities said Wednesday. Ammar Said was planning to have another person commit a mass shooting at the Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command in Warren, but he didn't know that two supposed allies were undercover FBI employees keeping track of every step, the government said. Investigators recorded audio and video images of their meetings with Said, including handwritten diagrams of the site, which is known as TACOM and the Detroit Arsenal. Said, a recent member of the Michigan Army National Guard, was arrested Tuesday shortly after launching a drone for a final look before an attack, the FBI said in a court filing. “Helping ISIS or any other terrorist organization prepare or carry out acts of violence is not only a reprehensible crime — it is a threat to our entire nation and way of life,” U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon Jr. said. The FBI said Said planned to send one of the undercover agents into TACOM with Molotov cocktails and assault-style weapons. Said, a Detroit-area resident, appeared in court Wednesday on charges of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization and distributing information related to a destructive device. He agreed to remain in custody without bond. Senad Ramovic, a lawyer who represented Said during the brief appearance, declined to comment. TACOM employs thousands of people and manages the Army’s ground equipment supply chain. It says it is the only active-duty Army installation in Michigan. Said was under investigation about a year ago when he told an undercover FBI employee about a “longstanding desire to engage in violent jihad,” or war, either overseas or in the U.S., the FBI said. Authorities last July performed a secret search of his phone, which he had turned over to National Guard personnel before boarding a military aircraft. The FBI said it found references to jihad and images of Islamic State flags.

Hotline Between Military And Air Traffic Controllers In D.C. Hasn't Worked For Over 3 Years

Sen. Ted Cruz asked whether a hotline between military and civilian air traffic controllers in Washington, D.C., that hasn’t worked for more than three years may have contributed to another near miss shortly after the Army resumed flying helicopters in the area for the first time since January’s deadly midair collision. The Federal Aviation Administration official in charge of air traffic controllers, Frank McIntosh, confirmed that the agency didn’t even know the hotline hadn’t been working since March 2022 until after the latest near miss. He said civilian controllers did still have other means of communicating with their military counterparts, but the FAA is insisting the hotline be fixed before Army helicopter flights resume in Washington.

FAA Holds Meeting With U.S. Airlines To Cut Flights At Newark

The Federal Aviation Administration is holding a two-day meeting with major airlines on Wednesday to discuss its proposal to cut flights at Newark Liberty International Airport in order to address major delays. The meeting in Washington comes as a series of equipment outages and staffing issues plaguing the airport – one of the United States’ busiest located in the New York metro area – have caused travel chaos. “The airport clearly is unable to handle the current level of scheduled operations,” the FAA said in a notice issued ahead of the meeting, adding it believes the proposal “would reduce overscheduling, flight delays, and cancellations to an acceptable level.” The FAA also cited ongoing runway construction at Newark that regularly forces the cancellation of dozens of flights daily and delays hundreds more. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the Delay Reduction Meeting is the first in more than 20 years. “Families shouldn’t be going to Newark and waiting five hours for a flight that then gets canceled,” he said. The FAA meeting is not open to the public, but the agency will release a transcript in the coming weeks. The FAA also plans separate confidential sessions with each airline to discuss voluntary flight reductions. United Airlines has sharply cut flights at its Newark hub and wants the FAA to impose new limitations on flights there to address ongoing delays. United said on Tuesday it expects to temporarily cut a few additional flights. Newark has also been hit by a series of telecom outages. The latest incidents highlight the U.S. air traffic control network’s aging infrastructure and come after Duffy last week proposed spending billions of dollars to fix the system over the next three to four years. Duffy is testifying before two congressional committees this week on the department’s budget. The FAA last year relocated control of Newark’s airspace to Philadelphia to address staffing and congested New York City-area traffic. The FAA said the area overseeing Newark has a targeted staffing level of 38 certified controllers, but currently has just 24 in place. Nationwide, the regulator is about 3,500 air traffic controllers below targeted staffing levels, and some controllers overseeing Newark took stress leave following a serious April 28 outage. United on Monday sent emails to 3.7 million New York-area customers and passengers with upcoming Newark flights seeking to reassure them about safety.

Judge Reduces Menendez Brothers' Sentences From Life In Prison Without Parole To 50 Years To Life

Lyle and Erik Menendez, who have served 35 years of a life prison term for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents in their Beverly Hills home, were ruled eligible for parole by a Los Angeles judge at a re-sentencing hearing on Tuesday. The Menendez brothers, held in custody since March 1990 and originally sentenced in July 1996 to two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole, were each handed a new sentence of 50 years to life by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic. Now 57 and 54 years of age, the brothers will remain incarcerated while the state parole board and California Governor Gavin Newsom ultimately decide their fate. As they have for a series of previous hearings, the brothers appeared for Tuesday's proceeding wearing blue jail garb via live video feed from prison in San Diego. Jesic called their crime “absolutely horrific” but said it was “amazing” how they had rehabilitated themselves in prison. “It’s something I’ve never seen before,” he said. Addressing the court before the judge rendered his decision, both defendants apologized to their families, expressed remorse for the killings and said they took "full responsibility" for their behavior. "My crime was not just criminal. It was wrong. It was immoral. It was cruel and it was vicious," said Erik Menendez, who was 18 when he and his older brother opened fire on their parents with 12-gauge shotguns. "Today, 35 years later, I am deeply ashamed of who I was," said Lyle Menendez, who was 21 at the time of the murders. The brothers were re-sentenced under California's youthful offender statute, which applies to defendants who were under 26 when they committed a crime and makes them immediately eligible for parole once they serve half of their term. "They had tears and they were smiling," Menendez attorney Cliff Gardner told Los Angeles television station KNBC-TV, relaying what he saw from the video link in court immediately after the ruling. After a first trial ended in a hung jury in 1994, the brothers were found guilty by a second jury in 1996 of first-degree murder for fatally shooting their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, on August 20, 1989, as the couple watched television in the family room of their home. At trial, the brothers admitted to committing the killings but insisted they did so out of fear that their parents were about to kill them following years of sexual abuse by their father, a wealthy entertainment industry executive, and emotional battering by their mother. Prosecutors argued the murders were coldly calculated and motivated by greed, namely the brothers' desire to inherit their parents' multimillion-dollar fortune. Former District Attorney George Gascon petitioned for a re-sentencing last autumn, citing new evidence purported to bolster the brothers' claims that they were molested and a prison record showing they had achieved rehabilitation while incarcerated. But Gascon's successor as DA, Nathan Hochman, opposed the re-sentencing, arguing the brothers had yet to fully acknowledge and accept responsibility for the killings. The outcome on Tuesday capped a day-long hearing in which several relatives, a retired judge and a former fellow inmate testified in support of defense efforts to gain the brothers' release. The brothers' first cousin Anamaria Baralt, 54, a leading advocate for their release, said the two "are universally forgiven" by everyone on both sides of their family. "They are different men from the boys that they were when they committed these crimes," she testified. Two other cousins said the brothers should be credited for their exemplary record behind bars, citing Lyle's work bringing a "Greenspace" beautification project to the prison and Erik's role in hospice care for fellow inmates. Prosecutor Habib Balian, however, said the brothers were "not trustworthy" and he did not believe they had found redemption. He also said he was not assured by family members' testimony that they did not think the brothers would commit another violent crime. "We know ... what they are capable of doing," he said. Before they can go free, the brothers must make their case next to the state parole board, which will recommend whether they are suitable for release. The final decision will rest with the governor, who can either accept or reject the board's recommendation. In addition, the state Board of Parole Hearings has set hearings for June 13 to decide whether to support separate petitions for clemency, which also would require Newsom's approval. In seeking the brothers' release, defense lawyers presented new evidence to bolster their claims of sexual abuse, including a letter Erik purportedly wrote to a cousin eight months before the killings describing molestation by his father and allegations from a member of the 1980s pop band Menudo, who said he was abused by Jose Menendez. The allegations were highlighted in a 2023 documentary series on Peacock about the case, while a nine-part Netflix drama and a documentary film last autumn also renewed public interest.
