Texas court lets ExxonMobil defamation suit proceed against California AG over recycling remarks

A U.S. District Judge in the Eastern District of Texas ruled that ExxonMobil can pursue a defamation suit against California Attorney General Rob Bonta over his remarks about plastic recycling, including the claim that only 5% of plastic is recycled and that Exxon lied.

"California Leaders Request DOJ Investigation into Florida's Migrant Transports"

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have called on the Justice Department to investigate Florida's program responsible for transporting migrants to liberal cities. They argue that contractors hired by the state have used fraudulent tactics to coerce asylum seekers into accepting trips. The letter also mentions a similar program in Texas but does not address it. The move comes after two groups of migrants arrived in Sacramento, prompting investigations by the California Department of Justice. The Justice Department has not yet responded to the letter.

California officials are investigating whether violations of civil or criminal law took place.

"NFL Faces Investigation for Workplace Harassment and Discrimination"

The attorneys general of New York and California have launched a joint investigation into allegations of workplace discrimination and pay inequities at the NFL offices in both states, a year after The New York Times reported female workers’ claims of workplace discrimination and pay inequity. The NFL has been accused of not taking sufficient steps to prevent discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. The league has put more effort into diversifying its hiring and has mandatory antiracism training and an anonymous hotline for employees’ concerns, but women who work there have said problems persist.
