In 2022, DEA seized more than 48.9 million fentanyl-laced fake pills and more than 10,495 pounds of fentanyl powder. The 2022 seizures are equivalent to more than 364 million lethal doses of fentanyl.
What are the statistics for fentanyl trafficking?
82.8% of fentanyl trafficking offenders were men. 41.0% were Hispanic, 37.4% were Black, 19.9% were White, and 1.7% were Other races. Their average age was 34 years. 86.2% were United States citizens.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may both be Democrats, but that doesn't mean the two have always agreed.
A new Guardian report on a forthcoming book about "The Squad" from Ryan Grim, a reporter, offers further details on their relationship — including the generational gaps and strategic differences that shone through in phone calls and meetings between Pelosi and the New York Democrat over the last several years.
The book says Pelosi "spoke for nearly the entire lunch" when the two first met in San Francisco in July 2018, shortly after her upset primary victory against Rep. Joe Crowley.
Pelosi fretted at that meeting that the slogan "Abolish ICE" had been "injected into American political discourse by the Russians," the book says, leading Ocasio-Cortez and her team to avoid calls and meetings the next time Pelosi was in New York.
"The amount of times she told me that stupid 'I have protest signs older than you in my basement' shit," Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a text that's cited in the book. "Like yeah but mine don't collect dust."
Ocasio-Cortez also indicated that her life in Congress had been much better since Pelosi stepped down from leadership at the end of the previous Congress, leading to the ascent of fellow New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.
At the time, Ocasio-Cortez told The New York Times that there was "a lot of healing that needs to be done in our caucus," seemingly indicating a hesitancy about life under Leader Jeffries.
But the book says her circumstances drastically improved.
"I thought things would get worse," Ocasio-Cortez wrote in another text cited in the book. "I thought a lot of my misery was due to leadership more broadly having a thing against me. But … my life has completely transformed. It's crazy. And it's that that made me realise it was kind of just [Pelosi] the whole time."
"Senior members talk to me, [committee] chairs are nice to me, people want to work together," the congresswoman added. "I'm shocked. I couldn't even get floor time before."
A spokesman for Pelosi declined to comment for this story.
The fact that Dick Durbin blocked talks of revealing the Epstein client list to the public is an easy red pill to send a normie today:
The only reason democrats and many Republicans are hiding Epstein's client list is because they and their puppet masters are complicit in Epstein's crimes. It's as simple as that.
Why don't we oust Dick Durbin for aiding human trafficking?
