Related Topics: Barack Obama

Happy Thursday. Former President Barack Obama showed up for jury duty yesterday even though he had zero chance of being tossed onto a panel for some random criminal case. And lucky for a bunch of folks who had paid $850 to hear him speak, Obama was dismissed in time to make a speech across town. [ChicagoTribune]

Topping the news: The Drug Enforcement Administration announced the launch of DEA 360, a yearlong program in Utah which will bring in more resources, coordinate community groups and law enforcement and promote perspective changing advertising campaigns to combat the opioid crisis.
