It sounds like the drugs kind of unearthed something.

They unearthed some kind of dynamic in their sex life that Jean had only been maybe vaguely aware of, but certainly had not been in a position to act on before she felt differently about herself.

I know this is just one couple and one anecdote, but I am really curious if you had any big takeaways for how these drugs could affect relationships.

I believe, Lisa, what you are describing is flexibility in relationships.

Lisa, thank you so much.

It's such a pleasure to talk to you.

I really enjoyed it, too.

Thank you, Rachel.

Here's what else you need to know today.

The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal for Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate who was convicted of charges relating to enabling his crimes.

The decision was Maxwell's last chance to get clemency from the courts.

And now her only option for an early release from prison is likely a pardon from President Trump.

And on Monday, a federal judge declined to block federal troops from heading to Chicago, setting up a fight between Illinois and the federal government.

The state has sued the Trump administration, claiming that it's creating chaotic and unsafe conditions for residents and violating the U.S.

Constitution.

We'll be covering the efforts by President Trump to send troops to Chicago and other cities on our show tomorrow.
