Washington, DC - Congressman Van Drew issued the following statement on the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) efforts to rein in wasteful spending. DOGE has been tasked with identifying fraud and waste in the federal government. They do not make cuts themselves but rather they make recommendations to the President and Congress who have the final say in what gets cut. "Washington bureaucrats have been wasting the American people's hard-earned money for far too long, and it is time for that to stop," said Congressman Van Drew. "But let's be clear—these cuts need to be made with a scalpel, not a sledgehammer. We must make sure your tax dollars are spent where they actually belong.

Laws allowing adults to use marijuana are becoming more common across the U.S. The drug is now legal for medical use in 39 states and for recreational use in 24 states. All told, nearly 62 million Americans (22% of the population) reported using marijuana in 2022, up from 28 million in 2009. The state-by-state percentages range from 34% of adults in Vermont to 14% in Alabama. In Texas, where medical use of the drug is legal, 15% said they'd used the drug.

"It took several decades for researchers to move from suspecting cigarettes as... Read more →
