The most recent casualty, Tyler Marsten, wasn’t like some of the early ones, kids who didn’t know what was actually inside the $10 ““chiva’’ capsules they were buying, often from Mexican dealers. He knew he was snorting heroin, with a purity that ran as high as 35 percent. Nor were his parents in denial....

Henry Cuellar (D-TX) said that given the thousands of people arriving at the border, the Biden administration should not be scared of taking a tougher line on illegal migrants and showing that many of these people will be returned to where they came from.

Q. How can you tell when the menopause transition begins? A. That really depends on the individual. Some women go directly from regular menstrual cycles to a year without periods—the technical definition of menopause.
