One of my closest friends in the world, @evangershkovich , has been imprisoned for 100 days in Russia for doing his job. That's 100 days too long. I wrote about what he's like as a person and a friend for @thisisinsider . #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan

@steven_lebron Way too much overlap between Cap and Shang-Chi. If one of them doesn’t become at least a 35% shooter, it’s going to clog the paint up and curb Cap’s development curve.

More of a tone shift from Schumer: "The SAFE Banking Act is a good thing." "They say that the states are the laboratories, well, the laboratories have proven that cannabis legalization works. Let's do it in all of America."

@JeffreyASachs I think someone with the handle still_oppressed is likely viewing this whole debate through an eschatological lens and isn’t actually interested in real-world politics. These aren’t serious arguments.

Cannabis companies pay an extra $1.8 billion in tax compared to similar size companies. But why is that? Well, it's dates back to a 1970s drug dealer. Read the whole story in yesterday's @CultivatedNews :

Trump cracked the window to adopting cannabis reform, but he did also say Kim Jong Un really likes him. So I’d pump the brakes on the victory lap until we get a coherent statement from his campaign. He was barely sentient during that presser.

For future reporters looking to flesh out cannabis stories with legalization-skeptic voices, please be aware of who you are platforming when you reach out to the first Google hit. Blocking at the first sign of fact-based argumentation. That's not effective policy advocacy.

I get the hand-wringing about edibles looking like sour patch kids but most legal edibles are kumquat-lemongrass flavored and the packages are so hard to open I need to use tools, so I can’t imagine 6 year olds getting into them.
