  • Résumé

  • In this episode, we dive into the latest congressional debate on H.R. 27, the HALT Fentanyl Act. This bill seeks to permanently classify fentanyl analogs as Schedule I substances in an effort to combat the opioid crisis. The discussion in the Rules Committee was heated, with Republicans advocating for stricter enforcement to curb overdose deaths, while Democrats raised concerns about the bill’s focus on punitive measures over public health solutions. We also break down key amendments—ranging from funding freezes to firearm trafficking provisions—that were proposed and ultimately rejected. Tune in for a comprehensive breakdown of the hearing and what it means for the fight against fentanyl.
