    In this episode of The Weekly Congressional Report, we analyze H.R. 27, the HALT Fentanyl Act, the only bill currently scheduled for legislative action next week. This bill aims to permanently classify fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, strengthening law enforcement’s ability to combat the ongoing opioid crisis. It also includes provisions to streamline research into fentanyl analogs for medical and scientific purposes.

    But there’s more to the story. With no legislative action scheduled this week and a recent flurry of executive orders, what does it mean that this is the only bill on the congressional agenda? Join Brian Barnes and our AI hosts, Avery and Iris, as they break down the implications for the balance of power between Congress and the executive branch. Is this a sign of a stalled legislative process, or a strategic move to prioritize urgent public safety concerns?

    Tune in as we unpack the policy, politics, and power dynamics behind the HALT Fentanyl Act and what it tells us about the current state of lawmaking in Washington.
