This week on Data & Dissonance, we break down a series of events that reveal a growing divide between leadership and narrative control in America.

🔹 Trump signs an executive order reclassifying marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III — the most significant federal drug policy shift in decades, and one the political class never seemed willing to finish.
🔹 Trump addresses the nation on December 18, 2025, delivering a calm, deliberate message focused on order, accountability, and leadership — and exposing how uncomfortable some institutions become when authority doesn’t sound chaotic.
🔹 The latest verified updates from the Brown University shooting, and why elite campuses and legacy media handle certain tragedies with caution instead of clarity.
🔹 A brief but telling update on the arrest of Nick Reiner, son of Rob Reiner — and how media coverage changes when power and proximity enter the story.

No talking points. No spin. Just long-form analysis, competing perspectives, and a refusal to insult the audience’s intelligence.
