Trump administration reverses course within a day, vows to continue court battles against 4 law firms
The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday said it would pursue its bid to revive President Donald Trump's executive orders that punish four prominent law firms, abruptly reversing course just a day after seeking to withdraw its appeals in the cases. The Trump administration had appealed last year after federal judges struck down executive orders targeting Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, Jenner & Block and Susman Godfrey over their legal work, diversity programs and political affiliations. The administration on Monday asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to dismiss its appeals. The four law firms told the appeals court they "oppose the government’s unexplained request to withdraw yesterday’s voluntary dismissal, to which all parties had agreed." Nine prominent law firms, including Paul Weiss, Skadden Arps, Latham & Watkins and Kirkland & Ellis, settled with the White House last year to rescind or avoid similar actions against them by the administration.

Some are tourists travelling through while others are expats now living in the Gulf, such as Calibaba and Furlong. And if they stay in the Persian Gulf, they risk being there if and when the conflict escalates. Whether living in the Gulf or travelling through, concern over what is going to happen next is what binds them together.

6 takeaways from Bill Clinton's deposition about Epstein and Maxwell

A program that helps people who are caregivers for seniors in New Brunswick is expanding. The Seniors Care Navigation Workshop was developed at New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) in 2022, and now thanks to a $2 million investment from the provincial government it will be offered in both official languages. “I personally want to go out into the community and not only help seniors, but help them live and help them find their purpose again and help them reconnect with the community,” she said.
