My HALT Fentanyl Act is going to help our law enforcement crack down on illegal trafficking and keep our communities safe, and allow prosecutors to build stronger, longer-term criminal cases.

Shame on you! "HALT Fentanyl Act would expand extreme sentences, exacerbate racial disparities in the criminal legal system, and paralyze research into new medical discoveries to treat opioid use disorder"

Schedule 1: "no currently accepted medical use in treatment." That's going to surprise a lot of doctors, so we all need to be ready to explain to those doctors that government knows more about medicine than they do. Fortunately, those doctors have already had months to adjust to the RFK Jr era.

The idea that this issue can be solved by law enforcement is absurd.

Its such a 1980’s way of dealing with the “war on drugs”. This idea sounds more republican than progressive. Talking about putting criminals behind bars = ensuring their donors get $ for putting more people in prisons. A progressive way would be to focus on education, employment, housing & rehab

It’s nice you could work with fascists to get this passed. Now what are you doing to block the pedophile dictator in the Oval Office?

Please do more to stop the Israeli evil: -vote to stop ALL funding and arming of Israel - sanction them immediately - end diplomatic relations -enforce ICC arrest warrants of Israeli war criminals -register AIPAC as a foreign lobby - recognize the state of Palestine, so this can never happen again!

This will not reduce substance abuse, but it will contribute to building a police state. Why do you want to do that? Why are you helping the literal fascists create an even huger population of imprisoned people who are denied the vote and forced into slave labor? Who are you really keeping safe?
