REPORTER’S HOME SEARCHED: Attorney General Pam Bondi says the search of a Washington Post reporter’s home was done at the Pentagon’s request as part of a leak investigation. The Post says journalist Hannah Natanson had a phone, two laptops and a watch seized by agents at her Virginia home. An FBI affidavit says the search was related to an investigation into a system administrator in Maryland who authorities believe took home classified reports. MIXED MESSAGES: President Trump says he’s been told “on good authority” that plans for executions in Iran have stopped. But Iranian officials signaled that fast trials and executions lay ahead for suspects detained in nationwide protests, while the Islamic Republic promised retaliation if the U.S. or Israel intervened in the domestic unrest. The threats emerged yesterday as some personnel at a key U.S. military base in Qatar were advised to evacuate. BACK TO EARTH: An astronaut in need of medical care is on the way back to Earth. The ailing astronaut departed the International Space Station with three crewmates yesterday. It’s the first medical evacuation by NASA in 65 years of human spaceflight. META PICKS EX-TRUMP ADVISER: Facebook owner Meta has named Dina Powell McCormick, a former Trump administration adviser and longtime finance executive, as president and vice chairman of the tech giant.

BTS coming to Stanford

The South Korean pop band BTS will perform at Stanford Stadium on May 16 and 17 as part of the group’s 2026 world tour. The K-pop septet’s tour kicks off in South Korea in April and runs through March 2027 with over 70 dates across Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Europe.

Back in November, Santa Clara County Principal Planner Robert Salisbury granted Stanford a permit to host a three-night concert series at the stadium on May 16, 17 and 19. BTS is scheduled for two of those nights. No word on who will perform at the stadium on May 19. Typically, Stanford is allowed to host two fireworks shows a year and it had to get additional county approval for the third.

Overdose deaths fell through 2025

U.S. overdose deaths fell through most of last year, suggesting a lasting improvement in an epidemic that had been worsening for decades. Federal data released yesterday showed that overdose deaths have been falling for more than two years — the longest drop in decades — but also that the decline was slowing. And the monthly death toll is still not back to what it was before the pandemic, let alone where it was before the current overdose epidemic struck decades ago, said Brandon Marshall, a Brown University researcher who studies overdose trends. “Overall I think this continues to be encouraging, especially since we’re seeing declines almost across the nation,” he said.

that ended August 2025, down about 21% from the 92,000 in the previous 12-month period. CDC officials reported that deaths were down in all states except Arizona, Hawaii, Kansas, New Mexico and North Dakota. But they noted it’s likely that not all overdose deaths have been reported yet in every state, and additional data in the future might affect that state count.

Possible explanations Researchers cannot yet say with confidence why deaths have gone down. Experts have offered multiple possible explanations: increased availability of the overdose-reversing drug naloxone, expanded addiction treatment, shifts in how people use drugs and the growing impact of billions of dollars in opioid lawsuit settlement money. Declines in 45 states Some also point to research that sugOverdose deaths began steadily climbing in the 1990s with overdoses gests the number of people likely to involving opioid painkillers, followed overdose has been shrinking, as fewer by waves of deaths from heroin and — teens take up drugs and many illicit more recently — illicit fentanyl.

Entertainment ‘28 Years Later’ sequel goes bonkers 20

Daily Post Thursday, January 15, 2026

BY MARK KENNEDY Associated Press Writer

You know what zombie movies never seem to have enough of? Dancing. They’ve got gore and screaming and lots of guttural snarling, but no boogie. That all changes with “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” and the dancing here is to — naturally off-kilter — 1980s heroes Duran Duran. The fourth entry in an ever-more engrossing franchise is absolutely bonkers — and a triumph. It mixes dark, queasy disembowelment and laughout-loud humor in a way that both subverts the genre and leads a way out of it, too. Nia DaCosta directs from a returning Alex Garland script and it starts right where 2025’s “28 Years Later” — directed by Danny Boyle — left off. If this is your first encounter with the series, you don’t necessarily need to go back to 2002’s “28 Days Later” but at least to last year’s entry. A showdown brews Garland’s script crackles with jokes about Britain’s National Health Service and “Teletubbies” as it sets up an ultimate showdown between good and evil across a flower-and-meadow countryside. DaCosta is fabulous, leaning into the dark and the light with

There’s no winking in anything he does, just pure soul. People are people, no matter how damaged, he believes. “There’s just us,” he says. In perhaps a twist no one was expecting, Kelson gingerly reaches out to an infected Alpha — played by former MMA fighter Chi Lewis-Parry — who seems to enjoy being drugged by the doctor’s blowgun. It turns out they both like a hit or two of morphine and looking up at the sky, all blissed out. Or dancing.

Globes ratings dip

An audience of 8.7 million viewers watched the Golden Globes on Sunday, according to Nielsen, a decline of almost 7% from the year prior. Sunday’s telecast on CBS, hosted by Nikki Glaser, didn’t quite reach the viewership levels of the two previous Globes on CBS. In the network’s first year with the award show, the broadcast was watched by 9.4 million. Last year, 9.3 million tuned in to the show, also hosted by Glaser. CBS and the Golden Globes in 2024 signed a five-year deal to broadcast the annual ceremony following years on NBC. After a diversity and ethics scandal led NBC to drop the Globes, the show was sold to the Penske Media-owned Dick Clark Productions

and Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries. Back in the late 2010s, the Globes typically drew close to 20 million viewers. On Sunday night, when “One Battle After Another” and “Hamnet” took top honors, many more were watching football. NBC’s telecast of the Chargers-Patriots playoff game averaged 28.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen.

The global music industry hit 5.1 trillion streams in 2025. It’s a new single-year record, up 9.6% from 2024, which held the previous record. That’s according to a 2025 Year-End Report from Luminate, an industry data and analytics company that provides insight into changing behaviors across music listenership. In the U.S., on-demand audio streams hit 1.4 trillion, a 4.6% increase from last year. But attention is on older music. Less than half all U.S. on-demand audio

streams — 43% — were from tracks released in the last five years (2021 2025). One exception? Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” and Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem,” both of which surpassed 5 million album equivalent units in a single year. That’s a combination of sales and streaming combined. Luminate’s year-end report also made clear that Christian/gospel music has continued to grow stateside: up 18.5% in on-demand audio volume change compared to 2024.

Social engagement CBS touted social engagement for the Globes, calling it the “most social ever,” with 42 million interactions (up 5% from the year before), according to Social Content Ratings. More than 14 million watched Glaser’s monologue across Globes social platforms in the first 36 hours.

What he’s done Under Church’s leadership, San Mateo County was the first county in the state to conduct a countywide school and municipal election through the mail in 2015. A mail election is 15% to 30% less expensive and increases voter participation, he said. His pilot project ended up becoming the norm for how elections are run throughout the state. As county clerk-recorder, Church has also introduced technology enhancements to improve customer service, making it easier and faster for the public to retrieve land and vital records. Under Church, the county’s assessment roll has grown to $340 billion. What it’s about “Public service is about leaving institutions stronger than you found them,” Church said. “I’m proud that this department is well-positioned for the future with state-of-the-art technology and deeply committed to serving the public with excellence.” Church followed in his father’s footsteps. His father, Marvin Church, was a Millbrae councilman

After Marvin Church retired, Warren Slocum, who was on the Board of Supervisors until 2024, held the position until leaving in 2011. So far, no one else has announced they will run for the seat. The period for candidates to formally file to run starts on Feb. 9 and ends on March 6.

HOUSING –––––

The bond measure would allocate $7 billion toward the state’s Multifamily Housing Program, which issues low-interest loans to build and maintain permanent and transitional rental housing for lower-income households. It also includes $2 billion for wildfire prevention, rental assistance and affordable housing for low-income tenants and farmworkers, as well as $1 billion in low-income first-time home buyer assistance, including help with down payments. The committee also approved a separate bond proposal to pay for housing for homeless youths, although lawmakers are looking to combine the bond measures. Sen. Caroline Menjivar, D-Van Nuys, who authored the proposal, said she’d “couch surfed” at age 19 when she became unhoused for a year and half. The money would help reduce homelessness by offering relief earlier in people’s lives, she said. Good year for YIMBYs The legislative appetite for housing bonds indicates another good year for pro-abundance advocates. They’ve already got the ear of the governor, who declared himself an ally of the “Yes In My Back Yard” movement by signing a flurry of bills last year to fasttrack housing production, which the governor touted in his State of the State address last week. This year, the governor said, the Legislature should focus on reducing the cost of construction, “utilizing new building methods and technology” and passing “worker-centered reforms that bring our brothers and sisters in labor along with us.” In February, Sen. Jesse Arreguín of Oakland, a rent-

er who’s big on fast-tracking housing construction, will take the helm of the Senate Housing Committee. He will replace Sen. Aisha Wahab, a fellow renter and Fremont Democrat who has long criticized new construction without protection for low-income tenants. Rent control dies But efforts to champion tenant protections hit a major snag Tuesday when a controversial rent control proposal died in the Assembly Judiciary Committee. Assembly Bill 1157, introduced last year to further restrict how much landlords can raise the rent each year, failed to get enough votes Tuesday despite being authored by the committee chair, Democratic Assemblymember Ash Kalra of San Jose. The bill, sponsored by the tenant rights group Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, would have tied the annual rent increase rate to the Consumer Price Index, which measures inflation, and capped it for most rental homes at 5%, instead of 10% under current state law. As a compromise, Kalra narrowed the bill on Tuesday to exclude single-family home tenants from the proposed rental relief in hopes of securing passage. Individual landlords of single-family homes aren’t subject to rent control under state law. “Tenants need a permanent solution, not a temporary fix,” Kalra said during Tuesday’s hearing. “If we don’t act with urgency to help our tenants in crisis, we are going to continue to contribute to the risk of homelessness.”

other Democrats — assemblymembers Rick Zbur of Los Angeles, Blanca Pacheco of Downey, Diane Papan of San Mateo, Catherine Stefani of San Francisco and Rebecca Bauer-Kahan of San Ramon — did not cast a vote, which effectively counts as a no vote. Some of them, such as Zbur and Bauer-Kahan, expressed concerns during the hearing that the proposed law could hurt landlords. Rent hikes are caused by the state’s housing shortage, they argued, and the Legislature should instead focus on building more housing. Echoing similar concerns, Stefani’s spokesman, Daniel Herzstein, said in a statement that a lower 2345 Yale2 rent cap would risk squeezing landlords who already Palo Al (650) 3 face rising costs.
