McConnell’s Hemp Crackdown Collides With Retail THC Boom: Big Brands, 39 AGs, and Congress Face a ‘Hemp War’ (Nov. 6, 2025)

The seven‑year experiment that legalized hemp has morphed into a high‑stakes fight over hemp‑derived intoxicants such as delta‑8, delta‑10, THCA and other cannabinoids. Today, big CPG and alcohol interests publicly pressed Congress to close the “hemp loophole,” while states tightened rules or imposed temporary bans. At the same time, major retailers are normalizing low‑dose THC beverages on mainstream shelves—accelerating a consumer trend that regulators haven’t caught up with.

The push locks arms with a fresh letter from beverage‑alcohol groups urging Congress to remove hemp‑THC products from commerce until federal rules are in place. Marijuana Moment+1

  • Nike Shares Drop 33% in 2026 as Inventory Moves Pressure Stock; Insiders Buy, Dividend Kept
    June 29, 2026, 5:34 PM EDT. Nike Inc. (NYSE:NKE) is down 33.33% for the year so far, lagging gains in the S&P 500 and QQQ ETF. Shares last at $41.82 as the company works through an inventory cut and backs away from discounting to protect its brand. Nike surprised with Q3 FY26 EPS, beating estimates by 24.25%, with wholesale revenue up 5% and North America sales up 3%. The company kept its quarterly dividend at $0.41, a streak now over 20 years, and is running an $18 billion buyback plan. CEO Elliott Hill and board members have been buying shares, showing some management conviction. Headwinds remain, though, after a 7% drop in Greater China revenue and margin pressure. Analyst target is $58.72, so there's some possible upside if the reset pays off.
