I don’t have access to Big Oil’s internal emails about this.
But they sure look wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change.
Oil companies are doing whatever they possibly can to keep the plaintiffs in these suits
(cities, counties, states, and Native American tribes)

Thomas, Gorsuch & Alito dissenting. (6-3)
Original post: #trump
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that found Texas' 2026 congressional redistricting plan pushed by President Trump likely discriminates on the basis of race.
The order signed by Justice Samuel Alito will remain in place at least for the next few days while the court considers whether to allow the new map favorable to Republicans to be used in the midterm elections.
