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.

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A U.S. Congressman from East Arkansas says there needs to be more accountability within the U.S. Postal Service, especially with the latest increase making the prices of a single stamp 73 cents. First District Congressman Rick Crawford says some resident in East Arkansas are receiving their mail up to three weeks after it was sent, or having their mail arrive at its destination almost a month from the time it was mailed.

Before July is over, postal rates will be a bit higher than when the month began. The United States Postal Service (USPS) first made its latest price adjustment announcement in early April. It will be the second time the USPS has raised the cost of postage this year. The new rates, approved by the governors of the Postal Service, raise mailing services prices by 7.8 percent.

Aurora, CO

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
