SUMMARY: The city of Uvaldi is seeking new legal representation following the resignation of municipal attorneys Paul Tarski and Alex Wreen, who served for over nine years. They represented Uvaldi during the aftermath of the tragic Rob Elementary shooting, where 19 children and two teachers were killed. City councilors criticized the investigation’s handling, despite spending over $177,000 on a report that cleared all Uvaldi police officers involved in the response to the incident. The city is now in the process of finding new attorneys to address ongoing legal matters.

SUMMARY: Thousands of dock workers are on strike, demanding a 77% wage increase and a ban on automation, leading to significant disruptions at ports from Maine to Texas. This is the first strike since 1977, triggered by the expiration of the contract with the US Maritime Alliance. The Alliance has offered a 50% increase over six years, but workers are pushing for more. Experts warn that prolonged strikes could lead to price hikes and shortages of essential goods like fresh fruit, Auto Parts, and medications. President Biden has the option to activate an 80-day cooling-off period but has yet to do so.

SUMMARY: Louisiana‘s new law, the first in the U.S., classifies the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol as controlled dangerous substances, effective immediately. Misoprostol must now be stored in a locked box. Abortion is already illegal in the state with limited exceptions. Attorney General Liz Morrell encourages healthcare providers with questions about the law to contact her office or the Louisiana Department of Health for clarity. While supporters argue that this law may prevent coerced abortions, some doctors express concerns about its implications, potentially causing delays in medical practice.
