✉️ Time for the federal cannabis law to catch up
A group of US Senate Democrats in a statement announced plans to introduce legislation to end the federal prohibition of marijuana.
The proposed legislation would also remove federal non-violent marijuana crimes and allow individuals currently serving time in federal prison for non-violent marijuana crimes to petition a court for re-sentencing, the release said.
🗣 "As more and more states legalize marijuana, it's time for our federal cannabis law to catch up," said the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "We also very much believe in the expungement of records because of the historical overcriminalization ... Let these people become productive citizens without that criminal record."

📚 A new book "I Alone Can Fix It" claims Trump made top military officials fear 'coup', called Merkel 'b**ch'
According to the book, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, had been preparing a plan in the event that Trump attempted a coup after losing the 2020 election and felt he had to be "on guard" for the possible threat, while paralleling the ex-president's rhetoric with that of Adolph Hitler.
"This is a Reichstag moment," Milley reportedly told aides. "The gospel of the Führer."
The tome also mentioned Trump's relations with prominent female figures such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"That b*tch Merkel", Trump would describe the Chancellor to his aides. "'I know the f**king krauts', the president added, using a derogatory term for German soldiers from World War I and World War II", the book read. "Trump then pointed to a framed photograph of his father, Fred Trump, displayed on the table behind the Resolute Desk and said, 'I was raised by the biggest kraut of them all.'"
