🇺🇸 The DEA ran a "One Pill Can Kill" campaign while letting hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills walk onto New Mexico streets, an AP investigation found.
Between 2023 and 2025, agents allegedly tracked shipments down to exact pill counts but didn't seize them, choosing to build bigger trafficking cases instead.
In one operation that became the DEA's largest-ever fentanyl bust, a whistleblower says agents let at least 1.8 million pills through.
Special Agent David Howell, who filed the complaint, says he was put on desk duty and barred from testifying after refusing to go along.
"We poisoned our community to make cases."
The DEA denies it, calling claims that it knowingly let fentanyl reach communities false.
A 2024 internal review backed the agents, finding no "specific danger to public health," even as New Mexico overdose deaths jumped 21% in a year.

The roar of French fighter jets turned heads across Washington as they swept past the Washington Monument in a rare tribute to America’s upcoming 250th birthday.
Spectators along the National Mall stopped to watch and applaud as the aircraft flew in formation over the nation's capital.
The flyover honored the historic alliance forged during the American Revolution, when France helped support the colonies in their fight for independence.
French officials say the display was meant to highlight the enduring bond between the two longtime allies.
Gavin Newsom’s new software tax goes way beyond corporate softwares, California Democrats are going to tax everything
They expect to make over $2 billion per year from this new tax, “They now define pre-written software as everything from Microsoft Office, Gmail accounts, Android operating systems — it has a computer, it has pre-written software. California is now going to tax that. Wow”
I put together a list to give you an idea of how far this goes
• Microsoft Office / 365 subscriptions
• Gmail / Google Workspace
• Slack
• Workday
• QuickBooks / Intuit products
• Adobe Creative Cloud / Acrobat
• Android operating system licenses (in applicable contexts)
• Cloud-based CRM/ERP systems
• Accounting/financial software (SaaS versions)
• Project management tools (e.g., Asana, Monday. com)
• Antivirus/security software (digital downloads/subscriptions)
• Productivity suites (e.g., Zoom, Teams)
• Database software (pre-written)
• Graphic design/photo editing tools (cloud)
• Operating system access/subscriptions (where pre-written)
• Enterprise software platforms
• HR/payroll SaaS tools
• Marketing automation software
• Collaboration/communication apps
• Many mobile/desktop apps sold digitally
So basically everything
Susan Kokinda drops the hammer on cartel money laundering and it's links to British banks:
“The system would have collapsed if it weren't for the dirty money. It was dirty money flooding back into the banks, into the so-called legitimate banking system, which kept some of these big banks afloat during that financial blowout. So that's the answer. The answer is that drug trafficking and dirty money laundering are part of the business model of the British Empire.”

ISRAELI TV: “The Iranians are using a low frequency electromagnetic weapon to influence President Trump’s decisions. They implanted these waves into his brain. There has been a noticeable change in the President’s behavior.”
Israel is scrambling to control the narrative.
Obama's new $850M "presidential library" in Chicago isn't a library. It's a cover-up.
His foundation — not the National Archives — now decides which records ever see daylight. Top of the list to stay buried: the 2015-forward surveillance and coup against Trump.
@Cobratate Well, I used to be really hot and rich.
Now I'm middle-aged and broke.
For what it's worth, I can assure you that my opinion holds significantly more value now than it did when when I was young, beautiful and rich.
When I said this throughout my campaign, CNN people called me cruel and unhinged. Now, after they helped secure the election for the 2 dorks responsible for all these problems, CNN is now echoing my campaign talking points as gospel. Fascinating!
