Project Veritas CEO Abandons Ship: ‘Unsalvageable Mess’: Hannah Giles, who was named chief executive after founder James O’Keefe’s ouster earlier this year, said she’d found “strong evidence of past illegality” at the nonprofit. “Though I had high hopes when I joined the organizations, I stepped into an unsalvageable mess — one wrought with strong evidence of past illegality and past financial improprieties,” Giles wrote in a post on X. “Once such evidence was discovered, I brought the information to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.” Project Veritas did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.

Google’s App Store Ruled an Illegal Monopoly, as a Jury Sides With Epic Games: A jury in San Francisco unanimously found that Google stifled competition for its app store. A judge will now decide on what fixes to require at the company, but appeals could delay the impact of the case for years. A jury ruled on Monday that Google had violated antitrust laws to extract fees and limit competition from Epic Games and other developers on its Play mobile app store, in a case that could rewrite the rules on how thousands of businesses make money on Google’s smartphone operating system, Android.

Want to tax the rich for real? Pay attention to this Supreme Court case: The case Moore v. United States arose over a disputed $15,000 tax bill. It could cost the United States billions. Based on oral arguments, Harlan Crow and Paul Singer might need to think about buying additional Supreme Court justices. There’s only so much Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito can do to protect the financial interests of their fishing buddies.

LA County Invests Big in Free Virtual Mental Health Therapy for K-12 Students: Spearheaded by the county’s Medi-Cal plans — which provide health insurance to low-income residents — in collaboration with its Office of Education and Department of Mental Health, the LA school program relies on teletherapy services provided by Hazel Health, one of a clutch of companies that have sprung up to address a nationwide shortage of mental health services that grew much worse during the covid-19 pandemic.

Donald Trump’s “Dictator” Promise Is No Joke: The MAGA base is cheering on Trump’s antidemocratic rhetoric, which the media should take very seriously. Whether he was joking or deadly serious or something in between, saying you’ll be a dictator for any amount of time is no laughing matter, particularly for a former president who likes to test-drive real desires by pretending he’s joking.

Anti-Putin Activist Alexei Navalny Now Missing From Prison: His team believes he may have been transferred to a special regime colony, but no one has been able to reach him.

Russia moves Navalny to prison hospital amid outcry over Kremlin critic’s health. Russia’s penitentiary service on Monday said it was transferring ailing Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny to prison hospital, as the EU warned it would hold Moscow “responsible” for the state of his health.

Israel’s Strategic Calamity: Its brutal war on Gaza is turning it into a pariah state and risking regional war. Most Gazans are packed into desperately crowded refugee camps in the south after being driven from the north, and many of those locations have been bombed repeatedly. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have concluded that an October 13 strike that killed several journalists, including a Reuters videographer, was done deliberately.

Speaker Mike Johnson Colludes With Democrats to Raid Medicare: But as previously outlined in September, these provisions amount to lipstick on the proverbial pig. The measure contains various “health extenders” that House Republican “leaders” consider, wrongly, “must-pass” legislation. While those “leaders” are trying to sell the measure as a transparency bill, the engine driving this legislative train is its new spending, nearly $15 billion worth.

Heroin and fentanyl in Washington state: Opioids are a class of drugs that bind to opioid receptors and have opioid-type effects similar to the classic compound morphine. There are many types of opioids and they differ in important ways including how strong the drug is, how quickly it takes effect, and how long it lasts. Heroin is a drug long used internationally and in Washington State, despite associated negative health outcomes and its status as a Schedule 1 drug (illegal in the United States). Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid used medically for severe pain and during surgery. It is a schedule 2 drug and can be prescribed or dispensed for medical purposes.

In 2010, Purdue Pharma replaced the original version of OxyContin, an extended-release oxycodone pill, with a reformulated product that was much harder to crush for snorting or injection. The reformulation of OxyContin was instead associated with an increase in deaths involving illicit opioids and, ultimately, an overall increase in fatal drug overdoses. OxyContin also was associated with rising suicides among children and teenagers
