Americans should wake up: after years of watching our kids die from poison on the streets, the Biden-era complacency is finally being answered by decisive action at the highest levels of government. Following President Trump’s summit diplomacy with Xi Jinping, China has agreed to steps meant to choke off the flow of chemicals used to make fentanyl — a concession that, if enforced, could save countless lives and protect our communities.
The substance of the agreement is concrete: Beijing has moved to add multiple precursor chemicals to a controlled list and to require export licenses for shipments to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, while Washington signaled a rollback of punitive tariffs as part of the broader truce. This is the kind of hard-nosed, results-driven statecraft Americans elected for — not the empty rhetoric and weakness that let cartels and foreign actors profit off our national tragedy.
The FBI’s own director, Kash Patel, has been front and center in the diplomatic push, traveling to Beijing to press the issue and publicly announcing the progress on precursor controls after his meetings. That an FBI director went toe-to-toe with Chinese counterparts and won a commitment is a dramatic reversal of the last administration’s refusal to play hardball. Americans should applaud the men and women who actually do the work to protect our country.
Let’s be crystal clear: this breakthrough didn’t arrive by accident. President Trump used America’s leverage — tariffs and the weight of our national security apparatus — to force Beijing to the bargaining table, and he’s said he may roll back tariffs in response to real cooperation. That is the kind of pragmatic toughness that puts American lives and American industries first.
But while we celebrate a win on the fentanyl front, another scorched-earth scandal at home demands fury and action: the Arctic Frost probe has been exposed as an unprecedented fishing expedition that swept up hundreds of Republicans, issuing nearly 200 subpoenas and targeting conservative organizations and officials. This was not law enforcement neutral in the abstract; it read like political warfare disguised as an investigation.
Republican senators and oversight committees are now demanding answers as records show the FBI and other agencies quietly sought phone metadata and communications from lawmakers and private groups, sometimes under gag orders that kept victims in the dark. Congress has even inserted protections into appropriations language to allow senators to sue over these violations, a direct response to the weaponization that cannot be tolerated in a free republic.
The righteous anger is spreading because people see what was done: subpoena after subpoena, secrecy, and an apparent willingness to treat political opponents as criminal targets. Calls for accountability — even impeachment of the judge who signed questionable orders and grilling of the special counsel — are the only remedy when the machinery of justice is turned into a political cudgel.
So here’s the bottom line for hardworking Americans: we should cheer when our leaders outmaneuver China to stop the poison that kills our kids, and we should demand ferocious oversight when our own law enforcement becomes the weapon of political elites. Support the bipartisan push to secure our borders and stop precursors at their source, but also keep the pressure on Capitol Hill to investigate Arctic Frost until every abused power is exposed and those responsible are held to account.
