San Rafael Hospital in Trinidad and three of its physicians have agreed to pay a combined $650,000 to settle federal allegations that they unlawfully prescribed high-dose opioids and other controlled substances, and then billed federal health care programs for them. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado, the hospital and three doctors, Dr. Sheryll Castro-Flores, Dr. Joseph Jimenez, and Dr. Douglas McFarland, were accused of violating both the Controlled Substances Act and the False Claims Act between 2016 and 2023.

17+ min ago (330+ words) (CNN) " Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk said her organization's efforts to support a potential JD Vance presidential campaign in 2028 are "in the works." Kirk's comments on an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show that was released on Monday were not unexpected. Her late husband, Charlie Kirk, was an early advocate of Vance during Donald Trump's vice presidential selection process in 2024, and the two remained close friends until Kirk's assassination in Utah in September. But the promise of the group's backing is a critical acquisition for Vance's hypothetical future presidential campaign. While Vance remains the most obvious apparent heir to Trump's MAGA movement, other prominent Republicans have been making subtle moves to position themselves as candidates in 2028. Turning Point, which Charlie Kirk co-founded in 2012 and ran until his death, has transformed into one of the most influential organizations in MAGA…...

Some level of aggravation is all but inevitable, especially after all the recent shutdown-related chaos. Throw in a seat-kicker, a tipsy stranger or someone who's blissfully barefoot, and the holiday odyssey becomes even more challenging. This Thanksgiving, 6 million US travelers are expected to take domestic flights, up 2% from 2024, according to AAA. That figure could end up being a little lower with some would-be air travelers making other plans because of the recent disruptions, the travel group said. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy introduced a new "civility campaign" last week urging travelers to restore courtesy to air travel and help to ensure the safety of aviation workers. "Dressing with respect," saying "please and thank you," helping others and making sure your children are under control are…...

53+ min ago (277+ words) By Christopher Lamb, CNN Rome (CNN) " The Vatican has issued a warning against the rise of polyamory, insisting marriage is the stable, lifelong and exclusive partnership between a man and woman. Polygamy tends to refer to one man with multiple wives, while polyamory involves people having multiple consensual romantic relationships at once. "Polygamy, adultery, or polyamory are based on the illusion that the intensity of the relationship can be found in a succession of faces," states the doctrinal note, titled "One Flesh " In Praise of Monogamy." "Our age, in fact, is experiencing various drifts with regard to love: an increase in divorces, the fragility of unions, the trivialization of adultery, and the promotion of polyamory." The 40-page document emphasizes the importance of marriage between man and a woman, with Cardinal Victor Manuel Fern'ndez, the prefect of the Vatican's doctrine office,…...

1+ hour, 13+ min ago (1799+ words) (CNN) " Rose Dexter was just a month old in August when she developed constipation, gas and tummy discomfort, symptoms that her pediatrician chalked up to normal baby development. That something turned out to be infant botulism, a condition caused by the spores of a bacteria that was growing in her gut, producing a toxin considered to be the most powerful in the world. It was poisoning her nerves and gradually paralyzing her. Rose is one of at least 31 infants who have developed botulism after consuming powdered formula from the company ByHeart. The number of illnesses in this outbreak may rise as officials reopen investigations into cases of infant botulism from earlier in the year. Already, it is "certainly the largest foodborne illness outbreak that I've heard of in 32 years due to infant formula," said attorney Bill Marler, who specializes in…...
