A recent report by the Drug Enforcement Administration found that six out of ten fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills contain a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl. This is a drastic increase from 2021, where four out of ten pills were found to have a lethal dose. We are seeing a 50% increase in just one year, and the main cause of this skyrocketing statistic is the crisis at our southern border with Mexico.
While I continue to fight in court to force the federal government to enforce public-safety immigration laws, I cannot stress enough how vital it is to never use drugs—as lethal amounts of fentanyl are increasingly being discovered in so many illicit substances creating a dramatic increase in overdose deaths. With this latest development, our warning is more important now than ever before, as we are quickly moving from ‘One Pill Can Kill’, to ‘One Pill WILL KILL.’

Attorney General Moody Takes Legal Action Against MV Realty for Swindling Florida Homeowners
Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a complaint for injunctive and monetary relief against Florida-based MV Realty and its principals for deceptive, unfair and unconscionable business practices that result in homeowners signing away home equity for a paltry upfront payment. The defendants offer homeowners $300 to $5,000 as a cash loan alternative in exchange for an agreement to use the company as an exclusive listing broker. However, after accepting the payment, homeowners discover that MV Realty files a 40-year lien on the property that requires paying 3% of the value of the home to MV Realty, regardless of whether the company ever provides any real estate listing services.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “For many Floridians, their home is their most important asset and the cornerstone of their financial stability. For a company to prey on unsuspecting homeowners in a way that locks them into a 40-year obligation designed to siphon away equity from the property is disgraceful. I filed legal action to end this deceitful practice and protect Florida homeowners from further harm.” Read More
