As of December, 33 states have legalized medical marijuana and 11 have approved adult recreational use. In 2018 alone, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, Utah, and Vermont all expanded access to the drug. While legalization efforts stalled this year in several states, more than a dozen have indicated their support for bills or ballot votes to approve recreational cannabis next year....

Now there appears to be further impairment to the memorable outfit, with before-and-after pictures showing ripped fabric and missing beading not just on the back of the dress, but also on the delicate straps. The iconic gown was famously worn by Monroe in 1962, the same year she died, when she serenaded then-President John F. Kennedy. Created from a sketch by Bob Mackie for costume designer Jean Louis, the nude-colored crystal-embellished dress was won at auction in 2016 by the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum, which loaned it to Kardashian for last month’s Met Gala....

A cease-fire allowed people to evacuate, but they must pass several Russian checkpoints along the way. At least 160 cars left within the first two hours, but it’s estimated that more have left since, Reuters reported. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk described the conditions in Mariupol, which has been under heavy Russian shelling, as “catastrophic,” with more than 2,500 people killed in the area so far. The city started using an 82-foot-long trench as a mass grave after the local morgues started overflowing....

In a tweet on Tuesday, Greene posted “of course I denounce Nick Fuentes and his racists [sic] anti-Semitic ideology” in the wake of the far-right figure meeting Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Springs, Florida, along with Kanye West. Greene was responding to a tweet from PBS White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López, who shared a quote of incoming House Speaker Kevin McCarthy saying the congresswoman had “denounced” Fuentes when he was asked about GOP lawmakers’ associations with the antisemite....

The controversial congresswoman who recently spoke at a white nationalist event, insulted the president, as well as his son Hunter Biden, during a 30-minute conspiracy laden speech on Right Side Broadcasting Network, a conservative media company known for livestreaming Donald Trump rallies. Greene, who along with fellow Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert heckled the president as he gave the State of the Union address, including attempting to start a “build the wall” chant in the chamber, attacked the president while falsely claiming he has sent “thousands of troops” to Eastern Europe to defend Ukraine’s borders following Russia’s invasion....

The two were contentious during the 15 rounds of voting it took to appoint Representative Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker earlier this month. After days’ worth of votes, McCarthy finally secured the seat but only after conceding to requests from fellow Republicans. Much of the contention was led by Gaetz, a Republican representative from Florida, who sought concessions before agreeing to vote for McCarthy. Greene, who supported McCarthy’s bid for speaker, benefitted from the end vote and was recently appointed to the Oversight Committee and the Homeland Security Committee....

The House of Representatives’ Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots named Greene among a number of Republican lawmakers who allegedly sought pardons last year. Greene, who represents Georgia’s 14th congressional district, denied she had requested a pardon and called the claim “gossip and lies” in a tweet about the hearing on Thursday. Kirschner, a legal analyst with NBC News and MSNBC, also took to Twitter on Thursday and suggested Greene’s reported request for a pardon could bolster the case to prevent her from running for re-election in November....

Democrats are working against a Halloween deadline to enact President Joe Biden’s economic agenda, which includes an infrastructure bill and a social spending and climate change package. While the infrastructure measure passed the Senate with Republican support, it has stalled in the House while legislators negotiate over the larger bill, which progressives want to include universal pre-K, Medicare expansion and other social safety net changes. Greene, a vocal opponent of the legislation, told Steve Bannon on his War Room podcast that Americans are the “most blessed people” in the world and have “wonderful lives....

On Monday night, however, Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez made an impressive bare-handed snag on a fly ball down the right field line.
