Only designated opponents of cannabis reform are invited to participate; reform supporters were not. Each party will have a 15-minute opening, may call up to two witnesses, and face limited cross-examination, with post-hearing briefs due later. The proceeding is separate from the Biden-era action on medical cannabis and, if rescheduling occurs, could affect federal taxes, gun forms, and other regulations amid ongoing lawsuits challenging the effort.

The NBA Finals (Spurs vs Knicks) and the Stanley Cup Final (Vegas Golden Knights vs Hurricanes) will not stage a Sunday game, leaving a peak-viewing window unused. The NBA kept a two-day gap between site changes and started the Finals on a Wednesday to avoid a World Cup clash, while the NHL followed its usual every-other-day cadence; as a result, Sunday night goes dark despite ABC airing both series. Analysts note Saturday is increasingly viable for big events due to Nielsen’s out-of-home viewing data, but networks and leagues preferred other slots, prompting fans to seek alternatives in Sunday programming.
