DEA to Reclassify Weed, ID Required for Online Porn, U.S. & Ukraine 10yr. Deal, Biden bringing Gazans to U.S., The Plastic Polluters

Key Topics:

• In this episode, we've got the lowdown on a monumental shift in drug policy – that's right, the DEA is looking to reclassify marijuana, and we'll unpack what this historic move means for Uncle Sam's take on the green stuff, with thanks to AP News for their in-depth reporting. Then, we're all eyes on the Supreme Court as the justices turn down the pleas from the adult film industry, leaving Texas' age verification law in play. We'll dissect what that means for your, ahem, online recreational activities,...... and credit to the Washington Examiner for shining a light on this twist in the legal tangle.
• Our political compass then swings us over to the battlefields of Ukraine, where discussions of a new security agreement with the US are brewing – we thank Yahoo News for updates there. Oh, and we've got some real talk about the Biden administration mulling over resettling some Palestinians as refugees, potentially making waves from the Gaza Strip all the way to D.C. – .... CBS News is bringing that story to the table. And lastly – because we couldn't leave you without our "You Need to Know" segment – we'll expose how a few corporate giants might just be responsible for a staggering amount of the plastic cluttering up our beautiful planet, with a hat tip to MotherJones for their insights.
