War, in all its horrors, has only been really and truly in our faces for the past six months — and not in the frozen, distant sense that has marked the conflict for the past eight years. For Ukrainians, today is more like the 3,108th day of fighting (give or take a day or two) in a war that began with Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and Moscow’s first attempt to seize the eastern Donbas region....

In government buildings across the country, lawmakers are examining and enacting laws on two fronts: reducing the risk to users and increasing penalties for trafficking fentanyl or mixing it with other drugs. Meanwhile, Republican attorney generals are calling for more federal action, and some GOP governors are deploying National Guard units with a mission that includes stopping the flow of fentanyl from Mexico. “It’s a fine line to help people and try to clean up people, and at the same time to imprison and prosecute drug dealers on the streets,” said Nathan Manning, an Ohio Republican senator who backs the bill to make it clear that the materials used to control fentanyl drugs are legal....
