Michigan Republican Party Chair Kristina Karamo, the party’s state committee, and three former Hillsdale County Republican Party members have been ordered to pay over $25,000 for contempt of court. This penalty comes after they failed to comply with a previous court ruling that recognized a different faction as the legitimate leaders of the Hillsdale County Republican Party. Judge Michael Olsaver's April 2023 ruling was disregarded by the "America First" faction, leading to the contempt finding.
Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who made headlines in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has been ordered by a federal judge to pay $260,104 in legal fees and expenses to the attorneys of the couple who sued her. This is in addition to $100,000 in damages previously determined by a jury. Despite her legal team's argument that the costs were excessive, the judge upheld the payment since the plaintiffs won their case. An appeal from Davis's attorneys is expected.
The price of Terra Classic (LUNC) fell by 5.42% following a U.S. District Court ruling that favored the SEC, which had charged Terraform Labs with failing to register LUNA and MIR as securities. The negative market sentiment and bearish indicators suggest short-term bearishness for LUNC, although technical analysis hints at a potential reversal if the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates an oversold condition. Despite the current downtrend, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) shows a bullish crossover, suggesting a possible future uptick in LUNC's price. Traders are advised to stay alert to the outcomes of the forthcoming trial involving Terraform Labs, as it may significantly impact LUNC's valuation.
