Five people, including Matthew Perry’s assistant and two doctors, have been charged in connection with the actor’s death from a ketamine overdose last year.

U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada announced the charges, stating that the doctors supplied Perry with large amounts of ketamine, even discussing via text how much he might be willing to pay.

Estrada said, “These defendants took advantage of Mr. Perry’s addiction issues to enrich themselves.”

Perry, who died in October, received several injections of the drug on the day of his death from his live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who later found him dead.

The actor turned to the charged doctors after his regular physicians refused to prescribe ketamine in the large amounts he sought.

DEA Administrator Anne Milgram revealed that Perry once paid $2,000 for a vial of ketamine that cost the physician about $12.

Paul Dans, the director of the Heritage Foundation-led Project 2025, is stepping down from his position, according to an announcement made on Tuesday by Kevin Roberts, the president of the conservative think tank.

Dans previously served as the chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management during the Trump administration. His departure coincides with Democrats using Project 2025 as a focal point in their campaign criticisms against Republicans and former President Trump.

The project, a coalition of conservative groups and Trump allies, features a 900-page policy blueprint aimed at directing the next conservative administration and includes a roster of potential staff members. Despite this, Trump and his campaign have distanced themselves from Project 2025, as its positions are considered more extreme than some of Trump’s own views.

➡️SWIPE: The iconic Sacré-Cœur Basilica shone brightly against the night sky as Paris experienced a widespread blackout following the Olympic opening ceremony.

On Saturday night, parts of Paris were plunged into darkness, with some areas enduring outages that lasted up to an hour. Though the entire city wasn’t confirmed to be affected, the illuminated Sacré-Cœur stood out vividly against the darkened cityscape.

Some observers are interpreting the blackout as a potential “divine judgment” in response to the contentious opening ceremony, which critics considered sacrilegious.

The lavish opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics has sparked outrage among populist and religious conservatives in the U.S. and beyond, particularly due to a segment that seemingly portrayed the Last Supper with drag performers.

The ceremony’s fashion show featured a scene resembling a contemporary version of Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting, with French actor and singer Philippe Katerine portraying the Greek god Dionysus, painted blue and wearing only a few flowers for coverage.

The Last Supper refers to the final meal Jesus Christ had with his 12 apostles before his crucifixion and is a well-known theme in Christian art, most famously illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci, who depicted the apostles’ reaction to Jesus’ revelation of his betrayal.

Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the opening ceremony, defended the production in response to the criticism at a Saturday news conference. Jolly expressed that he was unaware of the backlash and emphasized his intention to showcase “inclusion.”
