COLUMBUS, Ohio — An intensive care doctor ordered “significantly excessive and potentially fatal” doses of pain medicine for at least 27 near-death patients in the past few years after families asked that lifesaving measures be stopped, an Ohio hospital system announced after being sued by a family alleging an improper dose of fentanyl actively hastened the death of one of those patients. The Columbus-area Mount Carmel Health System acknowledged the…

The Internal Revenue Service Building in Washington (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) Jeff Stein January 15 at 5:28 PM The Trump administration on Tuesday said it is calling back tens of thousands of federal workers to fulfill key government tasks, including disbursing tax refunds, overseeing flight safety and inspecting the nation’s food and drug supply, as it seeks to blunt the impact of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The first major winter storm of the season is expected to arrive this weekend in Northeast Ohio, with forecasters predicting heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures in the region. Cleveland has been largely spared from snow so far this season, but that’s expected to change on Saturday and Sunday. The National Weather Service has not yet provided estimated totals for the area, but the agency is predicting the…

Shutdown writing is tedious because it tends to follow a pattern: Nothing has happened for weeks and nothing is likely to happen for the next couple weeks. Updates to follow. The wall isn’t even really the point anymore, as if $5 billion could ever do more than pay for a few hundred steel slats along the southern border anyway. Aside from the overflowing toilets at national parks and the army…

Video Controversy surrounds citizenship question for 2020 census Some predict approximately 24 million people may skip the census altogether. A federal judge in New York on Tuesday barred the Trump administration from adding a question about citizenship to the 2020 census. U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman ruled that while a question on citizenship would be constitutional, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross had added it arbitrarily and did not follow proper…

Two of the four amendments, introduced by opposition leaders, are similar: They would scuttle Mrs. May’s deal while also rejecting a “no-deal” exit and committing to a pursuit of other options. The other two, also similar to each other, would allow Britain to exit the Irish backstop unilaterally, which would effectively kill the deal, because Brussels considers that condition unacceptable. Amendments that the government supported were rejected by Mr. Bercow,…

For businesses, a chance to gain clarity The vote will provide little of the detail that businesses need to plan their operations, but it could at least narrow the options. “The longer this Brexit political drama continues, the less and less attractive the U.K. is going to be” to investors, Iain Anderson, the executive chairman of the consulting firm Cicero Group, said last week.

Judge Beetlestone replied: “There is no need to wait for the ax to fall before an injunction is appropriate, particularly where defendants have estimated that it is about to fall on thousands of women — and, as a corollary, on the states.” Judge Beetlestone said the final rules were likely to have…
