SUMMARY: A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Jackson filed by Retro Metro, LLC, after the city ended its lease early at Metrocenter Mall due to unsafe conditions, including raw sewage and water leaks. Retro Metro sought damages for breach of contract, as the city had moved offices to a new location. The judge also dismissed a separate discrimination claim by Retro Metro, which alleged preferential treatment for white-owned companies. The court concluded that the city acted to protect employees and the public, and the decision to relocate was not racially motivated, as emphasized by Jackson’s officials.

SUMMARY: The House Ethics Committee Republicans voted against releasing findings from their investigation into former Rep.

GOP senators have expressed support for Gaetz, framing the opposition as a politically motivated attack. Despite Gaetz’s denial of allegations, the scrutiny continues, with Senate Judiciary Democrats demanding evidence from the FBI. With Republicans gaining majority control, confirmation hearings for Trump’s nominees are expected to begin in January.
