For Some Reason AP and ABC "News" Cannot Even Guess At, Overdose Deaths In the US Plummeted in 2025

US overdose deaths fell through most of 2025, federal data reveals
U.S. overdose deaths fell through the most of last year, suggesting a lasting improvement in an epidemic that had been worsening for decades
NEW YORK -- U.S. overdose deaths fell through most of last year, suggesting a lasting improvement in an epidemic that had been worsening for decades.
Federal data released Wednesday showed that overdose deaths have been falling for more than two years -- the longest drop in decades -- but also that the decline was slowing.
And the monthly death toll is still not back to what it was before the COVID-19 pandemic, let alone where it was before the current overdose epidemic struck decades ago, said Brandon Marshall, a Brown University researcher who studies overdose trends.
"Overall I think this continues to be encouraging, especially since we're seeing declines almost across the nation," he said.
Overdose deaths began steadily climbing in the 1990s with overdoses involving opioid painkillers, followed by waves of deaths from heroin and -- more recently -- illicit fentanyl. Deaths peaked nearly 110,000 in 2022, fell a little in 2023 and then plummeted 27% in 2024, to around 80,000. That was the largest one-year decline ever recorded.

...

Researchers cannot yet say with confidence why deaths have gone down. Experts have offered multiple possible explanations: increased availability of the overdose-reversing drug naloxone, expanded addiction treatment, shifts in how people use drugs, and the growing impact of billions of dollars in opioid lawsuit settlement money.

Apparently it's just impossible that stopping fentanyl imports and deporting Tren de Aragua drug-dealers contributed to the decline. It's not even worth a mention.

By the way, note that overdoses shot up during Fauci's (and Tucker Carlson's) shutdowns. More deaths that can be laid at their feet.

Two other theories recently joined the list....
In a paper published last week in the journal Science, University of Maryland researchers point to the drug supply. They say regulatory changes in China a few years ago appear to have diminished the availability of precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl.
Their argument is based partly on information from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which last year reported that the purity -- and dangerous potency -- of fentanyl rose early in the COVID-19 pandemic but fell after 2022. It suggests it became harder to make fentanyl and its potency was diluted.
One piece of evidence for that: More U.S.-based Reddit users reported a fentanyl "drought" in 2023.
The authors connect that to signs that the Chinese government -- at the urging of U.S. officials -- took steps in 2023 to clamp down on the selling of substances used to make drugs. Information is limited on exactly what the Chinese government did, and the paper is a bit speculative, but "we thought we could make a case," said Peter Reuter, one of the authors.

Oh, so it is possible that US government action is responsible for part of the decline -- but only those steps taken by Biden.

Another mystery: Why did US serious crime rates fallen by unprecedented levels in 2025?

Must be something Biden did.

The U.S. is on pace for the largest one-year drop in murders the nation has ever recorded, according to an analysis by crime stats expert Jeff Asher.
The big picture: The decline in killings is part of a broader decrease in violent crime following the COVID-era spike. Mass killings in the U.S. also fell in 2025, reaching their lowest level since 2006.
The Real-Time Crime Index, which compiles data from 570 law enforcement agencies, shows a nearly a 20% decline in murders this year compared with the same period in 2024.
The database, which Asher used in his analysis, does not consider manslaughter, self-defense, negligence, or "accidental killings" for the statistics, according to its online glossary.
The database's statistics are currently available through October. The FBI will not release official 2025 violent crime data until sometime next year, though RTCI estimates have historically tracked closely with federal figures.
Other major crime categories measured by the index were also down nationwide and across locations of all population sizes, including motor vehicle thefts (23.2%), aggravated assaults (7.5%) and robbery (18.3%).
By the numbers: New York City and Memphis recorded nearly a 20% drop in murders compared with 2024, and Chicago saw them fall almost 28%.
New Orleans saw a decline of 7.5%, while Los Angeles County recorded murders dropping by nearly 19%.
...
State of play: President Trump has prioritized cracking down on violent crime in his second term, though there is no clear evidence linking his policies to the decline. Crime rates have been declining since 2021, according to data from both the RTCI and FBI.

LOL, sure. Definitely cite the fake FBI crime figures -- which do not include most blue cities crimes, because they refuse to report them. And we know blue cities routinely cook their crime figures.

Also note the deceptiveness of this statement. Crime didn't just decline in 2025 -- it plunged by 20%.

So the fact that it's been (allegedly) merely "declining" for a few years does nothing to explain the huge fall we saw in one year, when Trump took office again.

But Experts!

28 Clearly the crackdown on illegal drugs and gangs has had an effect on declining overdoses. Duh. I will add another reason: it's now much harder to get prescription opioids than it was only a few years ago. Doctors used to give them out like candy, whether you needed them or not.

I think a lot of the overdoses started with normal people getting hooked on prescription opioids, thinking "my doctor keeps prescribing these for me, they must be OK." But they are highly addicting, and once you're on them it takes yuge will to get off.

Far from "stopped," but it may well be down quite a bit.

But it is probably more than that. There's more action against it at the street level, too. It's also normal for drugs to burn themselves out. Drugs have a season. It was heroin season and then cocaine season and then crack season and then meth season and then fentanyl season. Maybe there's a new season about to blossom forth as fentanyl finally starts to come under control.

Would really be nice if ICE or FBI started shutting down some of the Big Gangs Starts with the Latin Kings guy they caught stealing the rifle and ammo from an ICE vehicle, but that needs more focus on gangs, (which are surely full of illegals as they build their syndicates across America).

It was something like that, bafflement how locking up criminals could reduce crime.

What they're doing is massaging the soft brains of their readers with "known facts" that criminals don't cause crime.

You got to love the proverbial “researchers”, as if that denotes some type of rigid, agreed-to, professional, unquestionable authority. lol.

I guess drug dealers are outside of their research parameters. Here’s a simple equation, when less product is available, fewer people overdose. I know that a simple thesis, but it’s one people on the front lines learned along time ago.

By the way, availability of drugs is also a factor in addiction treatment. When people with an addiction don’t have the drugs they think the need, they either get dead or they get help. Jackasses.

@MeghanEMurphy
I have determined that middle-upper class progressive millennial women are the worst of all demographics.
The combination of complete obsession with their own thoughts, trauma, mental illnesses, and very special uniqueness and a view of the world that centers on privilege/oppression has made them not only unable to deal with their own life problems effectively (I recommend stoicism and lifting weights) but also unable to see the world outside their own ideological/hyper-therapized framework.
They seem to think therapy language will resolve their own problems/relationship problems and ideological/political language will resolve the world's problems.
It's weird.
Probably uncoincidentally these are also the women who are all on anti-depressants, benzos for sleep, and anti-anxiety pills. And in therapy for life.
The 'my emotions are so very unique and special and need special pills and therapy to fix but actually none of it is fixable' thing combined with the 'I'm so empathetic and care so much about the oppressed of the world and oh gosh it's so upsetting how can anyone not be as empathetic and understanding as me' is probably the most annoying . . .

217 The primary reason that Fentanyl took a dive in availability stems back to Trump's first term. The STOP Act of 2018 made it much more difficult for the Chinese to get Fentanyl into the US for cutting and distribution. This might surprise you, but the primary way it was done before 2018 was through the postal system, and express package companies. The STOP Act made that much more difficult. Before that, the Chinese would have derelict labs on the Mainland (indirectly financed by the CCP) create hybrids of the original Fentanyl formula and name it something else not on the restricting transit list. When that new hybrid because illegal, they'd repeat the process. Most of what they mailed (using false return addresses) was advertised on the dark web, and sent to Mexico and Canada, but a lot was sent to the US as well.

Good, 37, suffered two gunshot wounds to the right side of her chest, one to her left forearm and one “with protruding tissue on the left side of the patient’s head,” according to the report by the Minneapolis Fire Department. Blood was also flowing from her left ear, the report said.

Initial reports indicated Good had been shot three times during the Jan. 7 incident.

You would be correct. Prison often was just finishing school for criminals but to get there, almost always was a long line of more petty arrests, jail time, dropped charges, and a sealed juvie record.

Sounds like she was already dead from the first shot through the windshield, that would have been the headshot. Protruding brain tissue, almost no chance for survival. A headshot with enough energy literally can cause an explosive effect on brain tissue from hydrostatics.

When a shot is noted on a forearm, that could be associated with the bullets in the side as well. ICE is certainly using barrier penetrative rounds like the Hornady Critical Duty so that desired penetration in glass, steel, and bodies obtains.

I am referring to an older Univ. of Chicago study of Chiraq. I think the 1400 is more recent and refers to shooty type crimes but I could be wrong.

In every major metro city, the killers overwhelmingly had prior record of violence, and the deceased usually had criminal records as well.
That is because disputes over drug dealing and the resulting gang disputes are why urban areas are violent far beyond most other jurisdictions in the US.

That shot in the windshield punched right through. Frangible pistol projectiles often break up when hitting laminated windshields.

Good's death is regrettable in that, as a Christian, I believe that every human life has value, but she made every bad decision that led to her death. She progressed from Obstructing Law Enforcement, to Resisting Arrest, to Attempted Vehicular Homicide.

Whether she intended to strike the ICE officer or tried to flee in a blind panic is irrelevant.

302 262 Heh. Gypsies. Some years ago, a band in their usual station wagons invaded a small town not far from my home town in Ohio. They hit what was best described as a general store, totally taking over the place and then removing anything of value. The owner of the store was on TV, saying the first things they carted off was the cigarettes and the safe. Leavittsburg, OH, described by the feds as a rural slum.

303 Not a handgun. Expert say, one of the best handguns to stave off an agitated bear attack is a 10MM autoloader with at least 15 rounds. I disagree.

========

For handguns, the bullet composition is more important than the caliber. The preferred medicine for 10mm is something like the Underwood 200 grain solid (lead) cast cartridge.

If it was me, I'd carry a .45-70 short-barreled lever-action rifle.

308 Florida Eye Institute P.A., Clay Eye Holdings LLC, Miami Eye LLC, Retina Macula Specialist of Miami LLC, and Kendall Eye Institute Inc. had a kickback arrangement with a testing company to accomplish their scheme between 2018 and 2022. They violated multiple laws and defrauded Medicare and Medicaid in the meantime. The whistleblower who filed against them under the False Claims Act is set to receive about $1.14 million of the settlement money.

Not only is it cruel to allow addicts to OD repeatedly, it creates a central location for dealers -- it becomes a huge draw, bringing in more dealers with more drugs to the area.

Good's death is regrettable in that, as a Christian, I believe that every human life has value, but she made every bad decision that led to her death. She progressed from Obstructing Law Enforcement, to Resisting Arrest, to Attempted Vehicular Homicide.

Whether she intended to strike the ICE officer or tried to flee in a blind panic is irrelevant.

Critical Duty is bonded bullet with a polymer expander ball. Designed for deep penetration of car bodies and windshields in particular. There are some others out there but I personally prefer more expansion as I am NOT going to be shooting through barriers, walls, etc. as a citizen.

The 147 gr. 9mm have made a comeback as the bullet designs are far better at expanding nowadays except in micro compacts. Ironically perform somewhat better than the old FBI load in revolvers using a 158 +p lead SWC hollowpoint.

40 S&W and 45 ACP are still damn good rounds that both penetrate and expand a bit better in but require better recoil management or a heavier firearm.

Good's lesbian sexual partner is recorded as yelling, "Why did you have real bullets?" after the shooting. Other people have conjectured this means that during their "training" in ICE-Watch, Good and this other woman were told that ICE only had rubber bullets.

Sounds reasonable to me.

If we could learn that, it *could* in fact be important. If we know the mechanism, we may be able to adapt it and use it to conquer that kind of disease. The idea of researching it isn't insane, and the theoretical benefit is potentially quite large.

But I don't trust them to do it. They have demonstrated time and again that they are not only incompetent, but malevolent. If they don't fuck up and release some bad bug, they'll deliberately do it in the name of their experiment.

These people cannot be trusted. Not for any reason, not in any context, not ever. We must never pursue this kind of thing not because it is not worth pursuing (at least on paper), but because our scientific establishment has routinely, repeatedly and exclusively demonstrated that it cannot be trusted to be do sp.

I personally think she intentionally drove her car to strike the ICE officer. However, her intent was irrelevant. Lethal force is justifiable if the officer fears death or serious physical harm.

A motor vehicle is considered to be a lethal weapon.
