Forensic analysts have identified a new and highly potent family of synthetic opioids in the District’s illicit drug supply, a worrisome discovery in a city already struggling with a wave of fatal overdoses that shows no signs of abating. The opioids, found on used syringes examined by scientists at the D.C. Department of Forensic Sciences in September and October, are called protonitazene and isotonitazene, respectively.

The survey was conducted November 1-16 and released on Tuesday and shows that fewer than half — just 45 percent — of Americans rate COVID-19 as the "most urgent health problem facing this country at the present time." That number is down from 67 percent a year ago, showing...

Remember when clueless macrotourists and worthless econo-hacks who have zero understanding of actual economic dynamics spent miles of digital ink convincing their tiny echochambers that they were right and that inflation was transitory (or rather, desperately scrambled to mask their utter lack of grasp of even the simplest concepts): Team transitory won btw. pic.twitter.com/7CEwdC11h7 — George Pearkes (@pearkes) October 13, 2021 Three month core inflation.
