> “The Democrats are far more likely to win the Midterms, and the next Presidential Election, if we don’t do the Termination of the Filibuster (The Nuclear Option!), because it will be impossible for Republicans to get Common Sense Policies done with these Crazed Democrat Lunatics being able to block everything by withholding their votes,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, according to Politico [https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/04/trump-senate-republicans-filibuster-00634517].

In 2018, Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis. Now 22 AGs want them to undo it - sh.itjust.works

A coalition of 22 state attorneys general is calling on Congress to address “the glaring vagueness” that has led to legal cannabis products being sold over the counter across the country — including sometimes from vending machines or online. A letter dated March 20 [https://hempsupporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/attorney-general-farm-bill-letter.pdf] addresses the consequences of Republican lawmakers’ choice to legalize hemp production in the 2018 omnibus Farm Bill — a decision that perhaps inadvertently led to a multibillion-dollar market [https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/news/how-big-is-us-market-for-delta-8-thc-and-hemp-derived-cannabinoids/] in intoxicating cannabis products that are arguably federally legal. Now, the attorneys general want Congress to shutter the market it helped create. In the new Farm Bill, they want the legislature to enshrine in statute the idea that intoxicating cannabis is not federally legal — contrary to what the law currently states.
