## Resource

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that occasional marijuana users can own firearms — what does that actually mean for gun owners? Plus: voter pessimism hits a new high ahead of midterms, state unemployment numbers, SNAP fraud costs, and California's billionaire tax heads to the ballot. A unanimous Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ali Hamani, a man found with marijuana and a pistol, protecting his Second Amendment rights. Washington Gun Law's William Kirk joins the show to discuss what the ruling actually covers — and what it doesn't — for gun owners across the country. Also on today's show: - A new Center Square Voter Voices poll finds 60% of registered voters say the country is heading in the wrong direction, up from 53% in March - Gas prices now at $4.13/gallon, up from $2.94 before Operation Epic Fury began in February - States tackling energy policy: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and others discuss energy sustainability and reliability - SNAP fraud is costing taxpayers billions — what states are doing to crack down - May unemployment rates across Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona, Illinois, Michigan, and Nevada - California's Billionaire Tax Act qualifies for the November ballot - Philadelphia's "ICE Out" ordinance faces a federal lawsuit from the DOJ - The Trump administration transfers civil rights and special education programs out of the Department of Education
