The decision to end military cooperation with the U.S. was announced Saturday night by a spokesman for the Nigerien junta. It deals a serious blow to the Biden administration's efforts to contain a sprawling Islamist insurgency in the Sahel, the semiarid region south of the Sahara. read more
Project leaders estimate it will still need an additional $100 billion to finish what voters were originally pitched in 2008: a bullet train that runs between San Francisco and Los Angeles. A timeline on its completion has not been set as the authority waits for environmental clearances for those segments. "It's been tough to fund a project with something that has an expiration date," Kelly noted. "We're doing it in building blocks.

Ricardo Lopez was long reluctant to raise the prices at his Mission District restaurant La Vaca Birria, where he serves succulent beef braised in a red broth packed into burritos and tacos. But as of late, he simply has no other choice to remain afloat. "I wish there was something else that I could do," he said.

Why do you imagine drugs wouldn't be more potent?
MJ got more potent. More people are using.
IMO drug use would kill more people if "legal" and "regulated".
