Secretary of State Marco Rubio is asking the U.N. Security Council to defend freedom
of navigation in the state of Hormuz and force Iran to cease its attacks and pierce Michelle Kalman reports. Secretary Rubio calls it a test for the U.N. and a "modest" request to call on Iran to stop putting minds and attacking ships in the state of Hormuz.

Pitts also believes that Fulton County is being targeted as part of an effort to nationalize elections. For NPR News, I'm Ronald Bally in Atlanta. Scientists from the University of California, San Francisco and Imperial College, London are getting a better picture of how psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms alters the brain and Piers Will Stone has more.
Much of the recent work on psychedelics has focused on people with serious mental illness. This
study on the other hand included volunteers with no underlying conditions who had never taken
the drug before. They were given a single dose of 25 milligrams, strong enough to provoke a psychedelic trip. The research team looked at brain activity. They linked greater diversity of neuroactivity to increased psychological insights after the trip and ultimately improvements in a sense of well-being a month later. The study authors say the findings need to be replicated in larger studies, but they may help explain the beneficial effects of the drug. psilocybin
