Justice Department drops Biden-era lawsuit against Georgia laws that advocates say restrict voting, particularly among people of color.

One of the lawsuits against Sean “Diddy” Combs has been dismissed after Jane Doe, who filed the lawsuit, failed to refile the case under her legal name. The lawsuit was filed by a longtime industry professional but after initially filing the lawsuit anonymously, she was ordered to reveal herself.

Republican-backed legislation denying coverage of gender-affirming health care though the State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) advances in Georgia House.

The second part of Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s top priority to limit lawsuits and large verdicts won final approval from the House on Thursday.

A jury in Georgia has ordered Monsanto parent Bayer to pay nearly $2.1 billion in damages to a man who says the company’s Roundup weed killer caused his cancer, according to attorneys representing the plaintiff.

The jury called for $2 billion in punitive damages, but previous multibillion-dollar verdicts over Roundup were drastically reduced on appeal.

Current Georgia law is strict about how lawyers can bring in evidence of domestic abuse, said Ellie Williams, legal director with the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence. She is spearheading the legislation, which would loosen some restrictions, and said the strict guidelines reflect outdated understandings of abuse.
