Trump Moves on Marijuana Reclassification, California Rail Funding Under Scrutiny

We also break down new scrutiny surrounding California’s high-speed rail project as officials confront major funding gaps, look at early multimillion-dollar political ad spending targeting key North Carolina and Virginia markets ahead of the 2026 midterms, and examine a growing dispute in Georgia over election procedures and proposed changes to the state’s voting system.
