This a big deal. More housing for #veterans, more quickly. This'll get #homeless vets off the streets and give them dignity of place and sanctuary they deserve. @VATheRightWay#VATheRightWay https://t.co/CnJchJNwdr
@Ask_Spectrum Palisades fire victim here. House totally burned. I’ve been sitting on hold for 30 minutes to turn off service at burned down house. Why not automatically stop service? Why make me jump through bunch of hurdles to turn off service. I have enough to deal with.
@MayorOfLA survivor of Palisades Fire. House burned down. You issued an executive order to process permits within 30 days. @LADBS_ is claiming they don't know how to implement it. How will you make sure your EO is not just a publicity stunt? What kind of accountability??
To independent-minded voters:
Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.
I signed the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021 into law. This is a momentous day for justice and fairness in the workplace. For those who experience sexual harassment or assault, you have a right today that you did not have yesterday.
After two prior accidental firearm discharges on the set of “Rust,” crew members of the production made complaints of unsafe set conditions to supervisors including executive producers that were ignored. #psbrlaw#rustlawsuit#justice4halyna@panish31
Very proud to have been part of the team that secured this historic result for these women who are brave and fierce beyond comprehension. @TashaSchwikert
We can confirm @USAGym and the USOPC have settle the ongoing lawsuit with more than 500 survivors of Larry Nassar’s sexual assaults. $380 Million. That number, coupled with the $500 Million from @michiganstateu, represents the largest $ amount for a single perpetrator.
The legal profession has a lot of ethical dilemmas among its most vaunted professionals: Tom Girardi and mass tort settlements; in USC sex assault cases, class action plaintiff lawyers and huge shortchanging of the class; in Roundup, a settlement that literally kills people.
Meanwhile, USC's lead defense attorney for its class action boasts on his law firm bio that he and colleagues resolved “the class actions at a small fraction of the per-plaintiff amount that other institutions have paid in similar cases.”
Shorter version: it was good for USC.
USC committed to paying $1.1B+ to ex-patients of Dr. Tyndall, the obgyn we exposed in 2018. But the settlements took 2 different tracks with 2 vastly different outcomes.
We looked at how this 2-track system worked + the lawyers that engineered it:
