Marijuana reform and the fight for DHS

The Trump administration is making a major shift in drug policy, moving state-licensed medical marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III—easing research limits and offering tax relief, but not fully legalizing it. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, lawmakers are clashing over tariffs, with Democrats warning they may violate a Supreme Court ruling and hurt consumers. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the policy, citing economic gains. The Senate also passed a budget plan to fund immigration enforcement and reopen DHS.
