Daily Wire immigration reporter Jenny Tehr has the details.

Lawmakers and public health officials fear that a little-known synthetic opioid known as nitazines could be the next fentanyl-level crisis in the US.

Nitazines were developed as an experimental painkiller in the 1950s, but never officially approved for use.

In their most common forms, they're five to nine times stronger than fentanyl and could be as potent as 40 times stronger.

The drugs overwhelmingly come from China.

Three Republican senators, Dave McCormick, Pete Ricketts, and Eric Schmidt, have introduced legislation to stop the spread of nitazines before they're widely used in the U.S.

The new bills would crack down on nitazine possession in the U.S.

and disrupt supply lines for the drug out of China.

CBS News anchor Gayle King is remaining tight-lipped about reports that she may be leaving the Tiffany Network after more than a decade.

The 70-year-old anchor was spotted leaving her New York apartment early this morning, just hours after Variety reported that she's considering stepping down amid shakeups at the network.

This comes after CBS acquired the Free Press and then made its founder, Barry Weiss, editor-in-chief.

CBS denies any talks about her contract, saying King remains a valued part of the network.

Her current deal runs through May 2026.

The rumors also come amid CBS and parent company Paramount facing sweeping layoffs and budget cuts tied to their merger with Skydance Media.
