Lawmakers Continue To Combat The Fentanyl Crisis
Summary
As of November 2024, U.S. street drug deaths were dropping at an unprecedented rate according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now, as fatal overdoses due to dangerous substances like fentanyl and xylazine, known as ‘tranq,’ continue to drop in the U.S. — many Americans are curious to know what lawmakers are doing on Capitol Hill that may be contributing to these promising numbers.
Bret revisits a conversation with Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), on how their bipartisan bill, the ‘STOP TRANQ Act,’ set out to address this crisis, especially with lifesaving medications like Narcan being ineffective on substances like xylazine.
