MarketWatch, Inc. Cannabis stocks gain as banking bill finds traction in Senate, but House OK looks challenging
(Thursday, September 7, 3:14 PM | By: Victor Reklaitis)
- Cannabis stocks advanced Thursday, helped by news that a key Senate committee could soon vote to advance a widely followed bill that aims to make it easier for the financial industry to work with cannabis companies. Senate Banking Committee chair Sherrod Brown said Wednesday that there is ‘an agreement imminent’ on the SAFE Banking Act, according to a Politico report . The Ohio Democrat told Punchbowl News earlier this week that the measure was among those that he wanted to act on ‘in the next six weeks.’
- Brown’s committee could vote on the bill as soon as Sept. 20, and it would be expected get the panel’s OK because the chair ‘would not schedule it for a vote unless he was confident of passage,’ Jaret Seiberg, an analyst at TD Cowen Washington Research Group, said in a note Thursday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will then probably seek passage of the cannabis banking bill by the full Senate in this year’s fourth quarter, and the measure is likely to come up for a vote, because there are expected to be enough senators backing it to overcome a filibuster, according to Seiberg.
MarketWatch, Inc. Lawmakers probe insurance crisis as premiums skyrocket
(Thursday, September 7, 12:52 PM | By: Chris Matthews)
- Democrats and Republicans sparred during a Senate Banking Committee hearing Thursday over the causes of rising home-insurance rates and deductibles and the trend of some insurance companies abandoning markets in states like California and Florida where they believe its no longer profitable to operate. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat and the chair of the committee, pointed the finger primarily at climate change and the increased incidence of natural disasters, noting that in 2023, the U.S. has already experienced 15 weather disasters that have caused damages exceeding $1 billion, compared with a 40-year average of 7.9 such disasters per year. Read more: 90% of homeowners saw their home-insurance premiums rise last year
- ‘As weather patterns continue to change because of climate change, risk and exposure will extend to places that have not previously been prone to natural catastrophes,’ Brown said. ‘This has led insurance companies to re-evaluate risk concentration levels — and not just on the coasts.’ Other Senate Democrats, including Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sheldon Whitehouse of Vermont, are pressuring the Biden administration to use existing regulatory powers to ‘to take swift and aggressive action to tackle the climate crisis and protect consumers from climate-related risks,’ as they wrote in a Tuesday letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

Wilmington News Journal LaRose: Brown stands in the way of small town Ohio
(Thursday, September 7, 7:38 AM | By: news engin)
- For more than two years now, inflation has outpaced wages under President Biden and Sherrod Brown. In fact, earnings have fallen each month since Biden-Brown passed their $1.9 trillion ‘stimulus.’ Sixty-one percent of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck. Ohioans are undeniably worse off and it’s hurting working class families the most.
- Even more hypocritical is Brown’s all-out regulatory war on the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas jobs provide income for more than 350,000 Ohioans and reliable power for everyone else. Unfortunately President Biden and Sherrod Brown have placed these workers in their sights, pushing aggressive anti-fossil fuel development rules that threaten to put them out of work.
- Instead of looking out for Ohio interests, Sherrod Brown would rather push a California style agenda.

Grenell falsely accused me of being a “surrogate” for LaRose (a laughable claim) and dug through my Twitter history to find a couple of tweets criticizing Trump, including one where I said he needed to stop running to Maggie Haberman at the New York Times every time he had a story to break (does anyone disagree?). I tweeted back that it was beneath him to lie about me to score political points for Bernie Moreno, who is running against LaRose.

- T he Ohio Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the legality of the current congressional maps in the Buckeye State, clearing the way for the same maps to be used in the 2024 election .
- The congressional map, which was used for the 2022 election, was struck down by the Ohio Supreme Court in 2022 under a previous chief justice, but the ruling was remanded by the U.S. Supreme Court in June and sent back to the Ohio Supreme Court.
- The current congressional map in Ohio has 10 districts represented by Republicans and five represented by Democrats. Two of the Democrats in the Ohio congressional delegation represent districts with a Republican advantage, per the Cook Political Report’ s Partisan Voting Index.
- Despite the redistricting process mostly taking place between 2021 and 2022, the congressional maps for several states remain in limbo due to legal challenges.

Gilberto Hinojosa The Paxton Impeachment Trial: Day Two Recap
(Thursday, September 7, 10:53 AM | By: yellowdog@txdemocrats.org)
- The second day of the Impeachment Trial of Ken Paxton was chock full of intrigue, revelations of problematic behavior by Paxton, and disagreements on procedure and evidence. It was missing one key figure though: Ken Paxton. Add your name to our petition demanding Paxton testify. It’s clear by his absence from his own trial that Paxton thinks he’s above the law. More than that, his refusal to participate is disrespectful to the Texans that expect and demand answers and accountability from Texas’ chief law enforcement officer.
- In case you weren’t able to watch, here are some topline highlights from Day 2:
