16 Senate Democrats voted against the HALT Fentanyl Act, sparking outrage over their opposition to stricter penalties for traffickers. The bill, which passed 84-16, classifies fentanyl as a Schedule 1 narcotic, increasing law enforcement power to combat its deadly spread. However, these 16 Senate Democrats – including Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Cory Booker – voted NO, citing concerns over mass incarceration and research restrictions.

Supporters argue this bill is crucial in stopping fentanyl-related deaths, as the drug is 50 times stronger than heroin and can be lethal in just 2 milligrams. Opponents, however, claim it could disproportionately impact communities and hinder medical research. What do you think? Are these senators protecting civil rights, or failing to address the fentanyl crisis?
