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.
