Democratic lawyer Marc Elias said his election litigation boutique, Elias Law Firm, has been growing quickly in head count and demand since he launched it four years ago, partly thanks to a surge in litigation over voting rights and redistricting over the last year. www.law.com/newyorklawjo...

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

My law firm is currently litigating 61 voting and election cases, including 12 redistricting cases. We have four cases in one stage or another before the Supreme Court.
These cases — and others like them —
will play a pivotal role in whether we have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.
