US Marijuana Reclassification 

Virginia Judge Blocks Redistricting Result 

Guest Host: John Gerardi   

The U.S. is expected to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, a move that could significantly benefit legal cannabis companies. Reclassification would allow marijuana businesses to deduct normal operating expenses, ending a major tax burden under IRS Section 280E, and could make it easier to access banking, loans, and institutional investment. Industry analysts say the shift could also spur mergers, attract new capital, and accelerate medical research, reshaping the cannabis market even though marijuana would remain illegal at the federal level.

A Virginia circuit court judge issued an order blocking the results of a congressional redistricting referendum that could net Democrats four extra seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026.

Books Banned In Libraries 

The Southern Poverty Law Center Funnel

Guest Host: John Gerardi   

U.S. libraries are facing record levels of book bans and challenges, with hundreds of titles being restricted or removed amid political and cultural battles, The Guardian reports. Library groups say most challenges are now driven by organized political pressure groups and government officials, not individual parents, and disproportionately target books about LGBTQ+ identities, race, and social justice, raising concerns about censorship and free expression. 

A New York Post report alleges the Southern Poverty Law Center secretly paid a former Ku Klux Klan “Imperial Wizard” and other extremist figures as informants using donor funds, without disclosure. The claim comes amid a broader Justice Department indictment accusing the SPLC of fraud for allegedly funneling millions of dollars to members of white supremacist groups, while the organization denies wrongdoing and says the payments were part of efforts to gather intelligence on extremist activity.

What Changes Did Fresno Arts Council Make?

Planned Parenthood Federal Funding

Guest Host: John Gerardi   

The Fresno Arts Council outlined major governance and transparency reforms to retain its role as Fresno County’s official arts funding representative after a $1.8 million embezzlement scandal.

Changes include hiring an independent accounting firm to oversee and process all financial transactions, removing prior paid leadership, and requiring daily board‑level monitoring of bank activity, with multiple approvals for every payment.

After reviewing the reforms, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved keeping the council as the county’s “local partner” with the California Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts.
