In the news today, five people have been charged in connection with the death of actor Matthew Perry, who was struggling with a severe ketamine addiction. Kamala Harris is set to lay out economic policy proposals in a North Carolina speech, focusing on reducing costs for consumers. Additionally, a viral but unverified rumor claims that Americans’ Social Security numbers were leaked in a data breach.
Matthew Perry’s addiction to ketamine spiraled out of control before his death, with prosecutors alleging that he injected the drug multiple times a day and paid a significant amount for it. Five individuals have been charged in connection with his death, including a doctor and an underground seller known as the “ketamine queen.” Harris, on the other hand, will be addressing economic issues such as corporate price-gouging in the food industry and proposing measures to lower grocery prices.
In the realm of cybersecurity, a rumor has spread about a leak of Americans’ Social Security numbers, sparking concerns across social media. While the authenticity of the claim remains uncertain, security experts advise against panic, given the prevalence of data breaches. In other news, a feud between Pennsylvania politicians, developments in Trump investigations, and Jill Biden’s upcoming appearance at the DNC are also making headlines.
Finally, doctors are increasingly turning to compounded versions of weight loss drugs due to shortages in supply. While these alternatives are cheaper and more accessible, there are concerns about their efficacy and safety. In case you missed it, four individuals were arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of actor Johnny Wactor, U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles addressed the controversy over her bronze medal, and recalled cucumbers tainted with Salmonella have been removed from stores.
