One kilogram of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people, officials said.“The criminal justice system needs to recognize that drug dealing is a serious crime,” District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a news release. “Communities are under siege by rampant, open-air drug dealing and we must do everything we can to protect public safety and ensure that there are consequences for suspected drug dealers.” Antioch man arrested Thursday for 5th time this year David Diaz-Morazan, 23, was arrested on Tuesday.

Loni era una maestra de escuela californiana de 29 años que se encontraba “en una encrucijada”. Acababa de pasar por una dura ruptura sentimental y se sentía a la deriva.“Realmente me hizo girar para cuestionar mis propios valores y mi propio futuro: si quería tener hijos, cuál era mi camino para eso”. cuenta hoy Loni a CNN Travel. “Laboralmente, también estaba en una especie de mala racha, tuve un año realmente duro de enseñanza”.Mientras intentaba escapar de estos sentimientos socializando y manteniéndose ocupada, en el fondo de su mente, Loni sabía que lo que realmente necesitaba era tiempo para hacer una pausa y reflexionar. Tenía “un poco de miedo” de lo que pasaría si dejaba que las cosas siguieran su curso, sin cambiar. ¿Se quedaría estancada? ¿Aún más infeliz?Siete peregrinaciones laicas...

Biden commutes sentences of 31 convicted of drug crimes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:07:29 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of 31 people convicted of nonviolent drug crimes who were serving time in home confinement, the White House announced Friday. Many would have gotten a lower sentence if they were charged today with the same offense because of changes in the laws. A commuted sentence means they’ll spend less time in home confinement. The commutations came as the White House announced a set of policy actions across 20 different agencies meant to improve the criminal justice system, which disproportionately affects Black and other non-white communities. The president announced his reelection campaign this week, and must keep Black voters in his coalition if he wants to win in 2024. The plan is an effort to expand health care access, affordable housing and education, and make it easier for those who have been mixed up in the system to get jobs, higher education and vote. The effort includes a plan to make more grants available for pe...

Key radar antenna stuck on Europe’s Jupiter-bound spacecraft

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:07:29 GMT

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A critical antenna is jammed on a Jupiter-bound spacecraft launched two weeks ago, the European Space Agency reported Friday.The 52-foot (16-meter) radar antenna on Juice unfolded only one-third of the way following liftoff, according to the space agency.Engineers suspect a tiny pin may be protruding. Flight controllers in Germany plan to fire the spacecraft’s engine in hopes of shaking the pin loose. If that doesn’t work, they said they have plenty of time to solve the problem.Juice, short for Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, won’t reach the giant planet until 2031. It’s taking a roundabout path to get there, including gravity-assist flybys of Earth and our moon, and Venus.The radar antenna is needed to peer beneath the icy crust of three Jupiter moons suspected of harboring underground oceans and possibly life, a major goal of the nearly $1.8 billion mission. Its targets include Callisto, Europa and Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system.The sp...

Bill allows DeSantis to run for president while governor

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:07:29 GMT

Republican Ron DeSantis would not have to resign as Florida governor in order to run for president if he chooses under a bill given final approval Friday in by the GOP-dominated state Legislature.The measure, attached to a much broader elections bill, would carve out an exemption to Florida law requiring anyone seeking office to resign from one they already hold after qualifying as a candidate. Only an officeholder running for U.S. president or vice president would not have to resign.Supporters portrayed the bill as purely a clarification and not intended specifically for DeSantis, who has not yet announced a presidential bid but is widely expected to declare his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the coming weeks. The bill passed the state House 76-34 along party lines and now goes to DeSantis, who is expected to sign it into law.“It is an individual office that is unique. It is the chief executive of our country,” GOP Rep. Ralph Massullo said during House debate Frid...
