We have synthetic drug poisoning crisis in America. This administration has put into place a significant education and demand reduction program. WE NEED a sense of urgency on the demand side as law enforcement attacks the supply side to save lives. @foxandfriends @CharlesHurt

One hundred and ninety Americans die every day from overdose, the equivalent of a full 737 airplane crashing every single day. Lives Interrupted is a new book that tells the stories of 80 people who died from fentanyl poisoning, people of all ages, from Florida to California to Ottawa. Some were born into hardship. Others had every advantage. Featuring full color photos of real people gone too soon, their stories told by the loved ones they left behind. The book seeks to help readers move beyond statistics, putting a human face on the crisis, raising awareness, and giving allies a resource to fight fentanyl, the deadliest drug scourge in history. This new hardcover, coffee table book is published by PAX sapiens' JADE Initiative, and is a resource for families and advocates, policy makers, healthcare professionals, and the media.

Today is #NationalFentanylPreventionAwarenessDay! #DYK that fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine? It's crucial to understand the risks associated with this powerful opioid. Empower yourself & your loved ones with knowledge. #JustKNOW dea.gov/fentanylawareness @TheJusticeDept

On National Fentanyl Prevention & Awareness Day, may we never forget the lives lost by this devastating chemical weapon. Every American’s life is worth fighting for and at ONDCP, we will continue to push back to ensure this poison no longer impacts our children and communities. Under @POTUS’s leadership, overdose deaths have declined to 22%. While progress is being made, the fight is far from over. @ONDCP is committed to working with interagency partners to ensure all Americans live a drug-free life.

Tomorrow is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45. Just one pill can kill. Many counterfeit pills look like legitimate prescription medications but may contain deadly fentanyl. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Learn the facts. Talk to your loved ones. Help save a life. w/ @DEAATLANTADiv #OnePillCanKill #FentanylFreeAmerica

On day 1 of the @realDonaldTrump administration, a very aggressive education campaign will be finally be introduced to spread awareness and save live. Americans have been left in the dark about the new dangerous chemical attack using synthetic drugs. The Chinese criminal networks have worked closely with the nasty greedy Mexican cartels killing historic amounts of citizens. This will be turned around. 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 THE ARMY OF GRIEVING FAMILIES MUST UNITE💪🏻 @RomanGabriel3rd @TXAFawareness @FentanylFacing @LVOFentanyl @FafFentanyl @stoptheVOID

Just talked with CBP, De Minimis shipments—packages full of counterfeit goods, fentanyl, & slave labor textiles that pay ZERO tariffs—hit 485 million in January alone. We’re headed for a 6X increase over 2023. This is a $50 billion loophole that China is exploiting. ENOUGH!
