Don't Stop Talking About EPSTEIN - New LEGO Video For Americans www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6-H...
"Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock Demand ‘Immediate Investigation’ Into Georgia ICE Facility After Detainee’s Alleged Suicide" l.smartnews.com/p-8LfF0zbW/0...
A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 2 to determine whether the court should issue a temporary injunction against Abbott. CORRECTION: A previous version of this story misstated Judge Catherine Mauzy’s jurisdiction. She is a state judge. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
Abbott has given Musk’s companies billions of dollars in state grants and tax breaks, per the news release. Musk reportedly benefited from a $1.66 billion tax break after the tech tycoon donated $500,000 to Abbott’s reelection campaign. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
The governor’s office provided nearly 1,400 pages of emails to the outlet; all but 200 pages were unredacted or blacked out. None of the emails have been made public. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
On Oct. 19, Hinojosa filed a lawsuit against Abbott for refusing to let her inspect the documents. Hinojosa noted some of the emails had been sent to The Texas Newsroom. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
Abbott did not allow Hinojosa to inspect the emails, the ruling states, despite Hinojosa offering to comply with Texas confidentiality protections. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
Hinojosa first requested to inspect the emails on Sept. 29, specifically asking the governor’s office for correspondence that took place before Oct. 13. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
Mahaleris accused Hinojosa of abusing her capacity for political purposes. The governor’s office has also filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
In an emailed statement to The Washington Sun, Andrew Mahaleris, Abbott’s press secretary, called the lawsuit “a baseless stunt and nothing more than an act of desperation.” l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
“The people have the right to transparency, and that’s why I’m continuing to fight for the documents between Elon Musk and Greg Abbott,” she added. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
“Texans built this great state, and we aren’t going to let Abbott’s donors continue buying up our land, shutting down our schools, or taking our water and electricity for their benefit,” Hinojosa said in a news release following the ruling. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
In both instances, Musk called the policies the “final straw.” A news release from Hinojosa’s office says Abbott tried to withhold the emails because they were too “intimate and embarrassing.” l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
In 2020, Musk announced he’d be moving Tesla from California to Texas after Alameda County, where Tesla had been based, barred the company from resuming production during the COVID-19 pandemic. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
In a 2024 X post, Musk said he was moving SpaceX from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas, because of the state’s anti-transgender laws. Musk has a transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, who has become an outspoken critic of her father. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
Several of Musk’s companies are based in Texas, including SpaceX, Tesla and X. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
Acc2the filing, Hinojosa sought the emails2evaluate existing laws &potential legislative measures concerning the state government& economic-development incentives, state grants, business regulation, environmental protection& other matters affecting Elon Musk’s comp. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
The governor's office was directed to turn the documents over to Hinojosa by 10 a.m. on Oct. 29. However, Abbott’s office has appealed the decision and won’t need to hand over the documents until the appeals process is over. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
“Abbott has obstructed and continues to obstruct plaintiff Hinojosa’s exercise of her right to inspect the documents,” Mauzy wrote, calling Abbott’s conduct “illegal” under Texas law. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
In a ruling on Mon, Travis County Judge Catherine Mauzy said state Rep. Gina Hinojosa is entitled2review the docs because she may use them for legislative reasons. Lawmakers are permitted to view executive branch communications under the Texas Public Information Act. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...
"Judge Orders Greg Abbott to Hand Over His Communications With Elon Musk" A judge in Texas has ordered the state’s R Gov. Greg Abbott to let his Democratic opponent review more than a thousand pages of unredacted emails between himself and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. l.smartnews.com/p-8LwB6eQM/A...

As of Monday, October 26, Cooper had not ruled on the latest request. The dispute could determine whether communications involving Harp and Lutnick become available for examination as the Kennedy Center litigation continues. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
Cooper also ordered officials to provide 30 days' notice before undertaking major physical changes to the property. Beatty's attorneys are now asking the judge to compel production of the withheld emails, texts and other records. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
The Kennedy Center subsequently moved toward a temporary shutdown, prompting further litigation over the administration's authority and the building's future. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
Judge Asked to Intervene. The latest dispute follows a series of courtroom clashes over Trump's efforts to reshape the Kennedy Center. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
The attorneys warn that without the communications, Beatty cannot obtain a complete account of the administration's actions. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
But Beatty's legal team disputes that interpretation, arguing that the administration is withholding records essential to understanding decisions affecting the federally established institution. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
Justice Department attorneys have also characterized Beatty's discovery demands as an improper intrusion into presidential deliberations. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
Trump's Presidential Privilege Challenged In an earlier court submission, WH deputy counsel Joshua Hoyt defended Trump's privilege claim, arguing that Trump must be able to receive confidential advice concerning Kennedy Center operations. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
However, Beatty's lawyers contend that Trump's activities as Kennedy Center chairman cannot automatically be shielded from judicial scrutiny. They argue that the records concern the institution's operations &management rather than exclusively pres- decision-making. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
The administration has invoked presidential communications privilege to prevent disclosure of certain records, maintaining that communications concerning Trump's official responsibilities deserve constitutional protection. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
Her attorneys argue that the withheld communications could reveal how directly Trump influenced management decisions and the board's controversial closure votes. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
Beatty, an Ohio Democrat and Kennedy Center board member, is challenging the administration's plans to close the performing arts landmark for renovations. l.smartnews.com/p-8Ls7f1Qs/S...
