I thank you for this but can only Rec once.

But defunding cancer research will kill children. The Senate passed a bill to restore the pediatric research that the House killed. But it is my understanding that it's only a fraction of the amount. They did what they could.

You would think cancer only affected Democratic children.

The toddlers who killed a parent or sibling with a gun carelessly left around the house. We had two of those last week.

It took my son

I am deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I, too, lost my son to fentanyl, and I understand the immense pain and heartache that comes with such a loss.

In response, I came out of retirement to join the fight against fentanyl and to work toward having it declared a substance of mass destruction. However, the progress has not been as swift or effective as I had hoped. Still, I remain committed to this fight, fueled by the memory of our sons and the desire to spare others from this tragedy.

Please know you’re not alone, and if you ever need someone who understands, I am here.

With deepest sympathy,

Part of an effective Democratic opposition strategy…

In 2022, the United States experienced approximately 73,838 deaths due to fentanyl overdoses, equating to a rate of about 22.7 deaths per 100,000 population.
STATISTA
This represents a significant increase from previous years, highlighting the escalating impact of fentanyl on public health.
