Major Banking Group Pushes Congress To Pass Bill Easing Marijuana Businesses' Access To Financial Services: "Passing this legislation would reduce illicit finance risk and increase financial transparency for cannabis- and hemp-derived proceeds."

🚨#SAFEBanking reintroduced as its need persists – and is amplified w/rescheduling. Financial institutions still must rely on 2014 FinCEN guidance that no longer aligns with current state & federal cannabis policies, making passing this bipartisan bill critical.
Not to distract from the other news of the day, but SCOTUS just confirmed 9-0 (tell me another issue uniting this court) that the government can’t restrict gun ownership over habitual weed use.
As Commissioner of Agriculture, it was a great matter of duty to lead this effort.
Under the decisive leadership of @POTUS, this Department of Justice is delivering on his promise to improve American healthcare. This includes:
• Immediately rescheduling FDA-approved marijuana and state-licensed marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule IIl
• Ordering a new, expedited hearing with set deadlines, to fully reschedule marijuana
These actions will enable more targeted, rigorous research into marijuana's safety and efficacy, expanding patients' access to treatments and empowering doctors to make better-informed healthcare decisions.

Since all ya’ll seem to be new to the Florida weather we’re having here in DC, here’s a helpful tidbit when the roads are flooded: Turn around, don’t drown!
Chatting with my server at @ieggyoudc (side note: run, don’t walk to try their delish menu) who is from Texas and said it’s been hotter here than there. Apparently the only thing NOT bigger in Texas is this DC humidity 🥵
Like last night at 9pm I opened the door to let my dog out - not even stepping outside - and the heat hit me like I had opened the oven. I just yelled "NOPE!" and slammed the door.

President Biden pardoned his son Hunter and 8 turkeys—but hasn’t released a single marijuana prisoner, despite his campaign promise.
In our op-ed, Edwin Rubis, who is serving 40 years for a nonviolent marijuana offense, and myself call out this hypocrisy. https://t.co/yozenFzYI6
