- Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. has introduced legislation to stop a “looming federal crackdown” on the hemp industry. Under the bipartisan Hemp Safety Enforcement Act, states and Tribal governments could get an opt-out of federal rules to take full control of hemp regulation. States that self-regulate would have to impose a minimum age requirement for purchasing certain hemp-derived products and continue a ban on synthetic products. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., led the passage of a restriction that some hemp farmers said would put them out of business.

- When people hear “Big Bend,” they usually think of the national park. But the Big Bend region is more than the park itself. It includes towns such as Alpine, Marfa, Presidio and Terlingua that, despite the vast distances between them in the West Texas desert, have largely united around one message: “No border wall in the Big Bend.”

- Is mass deportation negatively affecting the economy?
- Date posted
- 18 days ago
- Description
- One of the Trump administration’s signature policies is the mass deportation of immigrants in the country illegally. While debate continues over whether immigration has helped or hurt the United States, there is less data on the effects of deportation. The Rockefeller Institute of Government studied that question and has now released its findings. Scott Fein, a senior adviser and fellow at the institute’s Center for Law and Policy Solutions and a scholar-in-residence at the Institute on Immigration Research and Policy, joined Capital Tonight to discuss the study.

- The legislative session ended with Democratic leaders expressing concerns over missed priorities, such as passing an affordable housing bill. Senate Bill 9’s expansion into an omnibus bill, which included measures on evictions and Airbnb regulations, failed to pass. House Bill 593, concerning utility cost allocation for data centers, failed to advance in the Senate. Lawmakers expect to revisit these issues in 2027.

- Artemis II: The beginning of humanity’s bold return to the Moon
- Date posted
- 19 days ago
- Description
- History was made when four astronauts once again visited the moon in a flyby mission, the first in more than 50 years. But as the Artemis II mission has been completed, many are already looking to see what the next missions will look like. Originally, after the Artemis II mission, the following mission flight was going to see humans land on the moon. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman dropped a cosmic bombshell: The Artemis III will not see humans walking on the lunar surface. Isaacman revealed that due to the delays of the Artemis II launch — liquid hydrogen leaks and a helium flow issue — and the fact that there have been many NASA engineers who left or were laid off from NASA, the U.S. space agency is not where it needs to be for such a colossal mission.
