(August 12, 2016 10:14 a.m.) — Hillary Clinton says that as president she would support decriminalizing marijuana.

The Democratic nominee released a statement Thursday saying that she would reschedule marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug to a Schedule 2 drug. The reclassification would remove major restrictions to academic research into the effects of marijuana use and reduce the criminal penalties associated with possessing the drug. The statement came the same day as an announcement from the DEA that organization was removing some restrictions to research, but keeping marijuana in the Schedule 1 category.

(July 11, 2016 3:00 p.m.) — When Bernie Sanders arrives in Portsmouth, N.H., on Tuesday to endorse his bitter rival Hillary Clinton after overwhelmingly losing the Democratic primary, he will be holding a handful of policy victories.

From free college to a tax on carbon emissions, Sanders has managed to finesse some of his liberal policies into the Democratic Party’s platform and cajole Clinton’s campaign into accepting some of his most liberal proposals. Weeks of backroom and telephone negotiations resulted in Sanders-backed policy ideas landing on Clinton’s platform and in the Democratic Party’s blueprint, outlined in a hefty platform draft that was finished last weekend in Orlando.
