Janet Louise Yellen (born August 13, 1946) is an American economist serving as the 78th United States secretary of the treasury since January 26, 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously served as the 15th chair of the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018. Yellen is the first woman to hold each of those posts and the first person to have led the White House Council of Economic Advisers, the Federal Reserve, and the Treasury Department.Born and raised in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Yellen graduated from Brown University in 1967 and earned her PhD in economics from Yale University in 1971. She taught as an assistant professor at Harvard University from 1971 until 1976 when she began working for the Federal Reserve Board as an economist from 1977 to 1978 before joining the faculty of the London School of Economics from 1978 to 1980. Yellen is professor emeritus of the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, where she has been a faculty member since 1980 and became the Eugene E. and Catherine M.

Afterwards, President Barack Obama appointed her to replace Donald Kohn as vice chair of the Federal Reserve from 2010 to 2014 before nominating her to succeed Ben Bernanke as chair of the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018.

Following resignation from the Federal Reserve, Yellen joined the Brookings Institution as a distinguished fellow in residence.

The 2022 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor of Pennsylvania and lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania. Democratic state attorney general Josh Shapiro and Republican state senator Doug Mastriano are seeking to succeed incumbent Democratic governor Tom Wolf, who is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third consecutive term. The winner of the 2022 gubernatorial election is scheduled to be sworn in on January 17, 2023.
Primaries were held on May 17, 2022. Shapiro won the Democratic nomination after running unopposed and Mastriano won the Republican nomination with 44% of the vote. Mastriano's nomination drew attention due to his far-right political views.

Opioidkrisen i USA, ibland kallad opioidepidemin, är en benämning på den snabbt ökande användningen av förskrivna och icke-förskrivna opioidläkemedel i USA från slutet av 1990-talet och under de första decennierna av 2000-talet. 
Opioider är olika typer av smärtstillande medel, inklusive oxikodon (i USA sålda under bland andra varunamnen OxyContin och Percocet), hydrokodon (i USA under varumärket Vicodin), samt det mycket starka smärtstillande medlet fentanyl, vilket är syntetiserat för att likna andra opiater som de från opium deriverade morfin och heroin. 
Opioidernas effekt och deras tillgänglighet har gjort dem populära både för läkarkontrollerad medicinsk terapi och som rusmedel, trots att de är beroendeframkallande och är höggradigt riskabla vid överdos. På grund av substansernas dämpningseffekt på de delar av hjärnan som reglerar andningen, riskerar opioider i höga doser att orsaka hypoventilation och därigenom orsaka andningsstopp och leda till döden.Överdosering av narkotiska preparat har i USA blivit den vanligaste dödsorsaken för personer under 50 år, med två tredjedelar av sådana dödsfall orsakade av opioider. Detta medförde att opioidkrisen 2016 för andra året i följd minskade manliga amerikaners förväntade livslängd, mellan 2016 och 2017 från 76,3 till 76,1 år.
