My law firm is currently litigating 11 redistricting cases in 10 states. We are also litigating an additional 54 voting and election cases in 27 states.
This is as many cases as we typically handle going into the final months of the election. 2026 will almost certain be a record breaking year.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

Tesla scales back Robotaxi fleet goal in Austin
The Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin has only about 30 Model Ys in use. When we compare 60 vehicles to the 500 cars promised just weeks ago, the difference is huge. Tesla will miss its year-end goal by almost 90%.
