If any U.S. senator ever deserved the term "maverick" it might actually be Rand Paul, not his colleague from Arizona. Another term that indisputably applies to the Tea Party Republican is "leader."

San Diego is ground zero for a two-day opioid addiction summit designed to educate parents, doctors and the public on the country's "most aggressive epidemic." Health leaders from across the country are in town to discuss ways to curb the nation's growing epidemic of opioid use.
