Today in News History

On July 13, several notable moments in the history of News stand out. In 1863, American Civil War: The New York City draft riots begin three days of rioting which will later be regarded as the worst in United States history. In 1951, Rob Bishop, American educator and politician was born. In 1956, The Dartmouth workshop is the first conference on artificial intelligence. In 1985, Vice President George H. W. Bush becomes the Acting President for the day when President Ronald Reagan undergoes surgery to remove polyps from his colon. In 1990, Lenin Peak disaster: a 6.4-magnitude earthquake in Afghanistan triggers an avalanche on Lenin Peak, killing 43 climbers in the deadliest mountaineering disaster in history. In 2003, French DGSE personnel abort an operation to rescue Íngrid Betancourt from FARC rebels in Colombia, causing a political scandal when details are leaked to the press. In 2008, Battle of Wanat begins when Taliban and al-Qaeda guerrillas attack US Army and Afghan National Army troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. deaths were, at that time, the most in a single battle since the beginning of operations in 2001. In 2011, Mumbai is rocked by three bomb blasts during the evening rush hour, killing 26 and injuring 130. In 2014, Alfred de Grazia, American political scientist, author, and academic (born 1919) passed away. In 2016, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron resigns, and is succeeded by Theresa May. Together, these milestones provide historical context for today's news news and ongoing narratives.

Millions of fentanyl pills, no seizures? DEA faces scrutiny over New Mexico operations

US drug agents reportedly let thousands of fentanyl pills enter New Mexico communities while pursuing larger drug trafficking rings. Critics argue this tactic endangered lives in a state already battling a severe opioid crisis. The DEA defends its actions, stating investigations were court-authorized and aimed at dismantling major criminal organizations, asserting that targeting kingpins ultimately saves more lives.

Staggering amounts of fentanyl hit streets as the DEA watched and took no action, records show

Even as it battled the deadliest drug epidemic in American history, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration permitted hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills to hit the streets of New Mexico between 2023 and 2025, according to three current and former DEA agents and government records reviewed by The Associated Press. DEA agents repeatedly monitored shipments of fentanyl pills — but did not seize them — as federal prosecutors sought to bring bigger criminal cases against traffickers of a synthetic opioid that the White House last year designated a weapon of mass destruction. Agents and experts, however, said the tactic amounted to a gamble with public safety that potentially imperiled communities in and around Albuquerque and may have violated U.S. Justice Department rules intended to safeguard the public...
