The Pelosi opponents’ theory is, once it’s clear she doesn’t have the votes, a new leader will emerge. “Our majority came on the backs of a majority that said they would support new leadership,” the group wrote in the letter. “We promised to change the status quo and we intend to deliver on that promise.” All of the freshman opponents so far are men, and Pelosi’s Two Central American migrants sweep outside the shelter critics have been criticized, especially on social media, as where they are staying in Tijuana, Mexico, Sunday, Nov. 18, being led mostly by men.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced late Friday that she has added the companies to a state-court lawsuit filed last spring against Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, and several opioid distributors. Bondi said in a press release that CVS and Walgreens “played a role in creating the opioid crisis.” She said the companies failed to stop “suspicious orders of opioids” and “dispensed unreason- able quantities of opioids from their pharmacies.” On average, about 45 people die nationally each day because of opioid over- doses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We will continue to pursue those companies that played a This Wednesday, April 11, 2012 file photo shows turkeys at a farm in Lebanon, Pa.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2018: This year doors open much more easily for you. You appear to be more secure than you have been in years. You wonder what could be happen- ing that encourages this sense of well-being. Just enjoy your present state. If you are single, you break through a potential sweetie’s barrier, thereby DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker bringing the two of you closer. Give yourself time to decide whether this relationship is right for you. If you are attached, you and your partner experi- ence a new type of interaction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You’ll feel as if the time has come to take control of a difficult situation. This is likely to cause a commotion for some, but a resolution for you. Trust your efforts when it comes to your SCARY GARY Mark Buford work ethic. You make a big difference. Tonight: A partner has a nice way of saying “thank you.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Despite someone else’s attitude, which might hurt you on a deep level, you’ll keep it together. You succeed because of your resource- fulness. Pressure builds because you would like to be acknowledged. Give it up, and refuse to push. Tonight: Let your imagination take the lead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A matter revolving around your Crosswords home might keep you grounded, perhaps even more than you would like. Know that, despite the demanding nature of what is going on, your home DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni life will be a source of happiness in the near future. Tonight: Avoid complications. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You come up with the right words at the right time. Communication could be over- whelming. You might be more optimistic and positive than you realize. You have the right words to melt any resistance from a dear friend or loved one. Tonight: In the thick of things. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Balance your checkbook before you take a risk. The gamble might be worth it, but be aware of the implications involved. A close associ- ate could challenge your decision. Listen to what B.C.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Step out of your old image and into your new, more confident one. Not every moment will be perfect, but you certainly won’t allow a bad situation to get the best of you. A loved one might have a lot to share. Tonight: Invite a special person to join you at a favorite haunt. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Step back graciously. This position of lesser importance will give you more freedom to do what you want. You could join a favorite per- son and christen the weekend early. You might not want to make public knowledge of what you are ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie up to, though. Tonight: Out and about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities, even if you’re surrounded by several people. You must be carrying a lucky rabbit’s foot, as you seem to get exactly what you want. Sometimes you find that even when are on an obscure path, you still reach your goals. Tonight: With friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You suddenly might be stopped in your tracks by a request from a boss, higher-up or older relative. Use your instincts when dealing with this person. Confusion seems to surround your home or a family member. Tonight: Count on being available and needed. ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Keep your eyes open, and look for the most universal interpretations of what is going on around you. Detach in your preferred method, and it will allow your understanding and empathy to evolve. Consider a last-minute getaway. Tonight: Your call, but opt for something different. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You could be close to the end of your fuse in dealing with a problem. You have talked, and the other party has shared his or her Cryptoquip point of view. You might feel as if the situation might not be easily resolved. Trust that you will handle it, given some time. Tonight: Head home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe HHHH Be precise and detail-oriented when dealing with a money matter. You could feel as though you are fighting to resolve an unresolvable problem. People, yourself included, need to learn to be more flexible. Ask questions, if need be. Tonight: Visit with a longtime friend. BORN TODAY U.S. Vice President Joe Biden (1942), former U.S. Sen. Robert F.
