A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) went on a tirade against a resolution that would fine and potentially jail Attorney General Merrick Garland. House Republicans issued a subpoena to Garland seeking the audio from a deposition that President Joe Biden sat for with Special Counsel Robert Hur.

Ultimately, the special counsel declined to prosecute in part because he said a jury could view Biden as a sympathetic “elderly man with a poor memory.”

I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.
