Throughout much of this year, a team of 75 Washington Post journalists has been working to produce a definitive account of Jan. 6 — its causes, its costs and its aftermath. The result of that investigation, a three-part series being published today

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
“The Attack: Before, During and After” lays out in striking detail the red flags that went unheeded in advance of Jan. 6, the consequences of Trump’s inaction as his supporters laid siege to the Capitol and the continuing threats to American democracy.

The series’s findings are based on interviews with more than 230 people and thousands of pages of court documents and internal law enforcement reports, along with hundreds of videos, photographs and audio recordings.

Shot: "The relationship between Mr Staley and Mr Epstein was the subject of an enquiry from the Financial Conduct Authority to which the company responded,"
- British regulators

Chaser:
The American chief executive of Barclays (BCS), Jes Staley, is stepping down with immediate effect following an investigation by British regulators into his relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein,

Took almost 2 years, me thinks there is something there🤔

Jes Staley was CEO at Barclays for six years. A third of that time was spent in the shadow of a regulatory investigation into a 15-year professional relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

As Mike Pence hid from a marauding mob during the Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol, an attorney for Trump emailed a top Pence aide to say that Pence had caused the violence by refusing to block certification of Trump’s election loss.

washingtonpost.com/investigations…
The attorney, John Eastman, also continued to press for Pence to act even after Trump’s supporters had trampled through the Capitol — an attack the Pence aide, Greg Jacob, had described as a “siege” in their email exchange.

“The ‘siege’ is because YOU and your boss did not do
what was necessary to allow this to be aired in a public way so that the American people can see for themselves what happened,” Eastman wrote to Jacob, referring to Trump’s claims of voter fraud

We have a pipeline here in PA that will be carrying extremely volatile fracking waste liquids from the fields to the port, to transport overseas to be made into single use plastics, making Sunoco/ @EnergyTransfer billions of dollars. Not a dime for PA taxpayers.

Sunoco made the decision to put no odor into this fluid, so no one will know if there is a leak. This liquid does not rise like gas, it sits on the ground. It is invisible. There is a 5 mile blast zone, that's how bad it is. There is no emergency plan because it is impossible

to make one. If there is a leak, it will explode, and you have no chance of surviving if you are in the zone.

The history of FDA approvals of opioids

1995
At the time of approval, FDA believed the controlled-release formulation of OxyContin would result in less abuse potential, since the drug would be absorbed slowly

and there would not be an immediate “rush” or high that would promote abuse. 

🔥In part, FDA based its judgment on the prior marketing history of a similar product (marketing created by Richard Sackler and Purdue Pharma), MS Contin, a controlled-release formulation of morphine
approved by FDA and used in the medical community since 1987 without significant reports of abuse and misuse.

Early 2000s (5 years)
Reports of overdose and death from prescription drug products, especially opioids, began to rise sharply, with Oxy at the center.
