The trial was scheduled to start in the Court of Chancery in Delaware on Monday morning. The lawyers were ready. Reports submitted by expert witnesses estimated shareholder damages to be between $466 million and $957 million. After that, nothing occurred over the weekend, which proved to be crucial. The shareholders who had sued Vince McMahon, Nick Khan, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Stephanie McMahon, and other WWE executives discreetly reached a settlement in principle. The trial was put on hold. The conditions were kept a secret. Additionally, any documents that may have come to light during the discovery process—documents that shareholders…

Born in Kansas City, Sierra Foster writes about politics and serves as Senior Editor at kbsd6.com. She was raised paying attention to this city, not just living in it. Sierra has a strong, deep connection to Kansas City, from the neighborhoods east of Troost to the discussions that take place in the city hall halls. Sierra, who is presently enrolled at the University of Kansas to pursue a degree in Political Science, applies the rigor of academic study to her journalism. She writes about politics in Missouri and Kansas as someone who genuinely cares about what happens to the people in these communities—the policies that impact them, the leaders who represent them, and the civic forces influencing their futures—rather than as an outsider watching from a distance. Her editorial coverage encompasses state-level policy, local government, and the national political currents that permeate bi-state regional life. Whether it's a city council vote or a Senate race, she has a special gift for turning complex policy language into writing that feels urgent, relatable, and worthwhile. Sierra seldom sits still off the page. She claims that playing soccer on a regular basis has sharpened her instincts for political reporting because of the sport's teamwork, strategy, and requirement to read a changing game in real time. She's probably somewhere in Kansas City with her friends when she's not writing or on the pitch, discovering new reasons to adore a city she already knows so well.
Corteva Gives Farmers $85 Million, But Was That Enough? Farmers nationwide have been observing something that didn’t quite add up for years. Herbicides and insecticides that should have been less expensive after patents expired, known as generic crop protection products, weren’t really finding their way onto store shelves as you might anticipate. The science was accessible, the patents had been revoked, but the counter prices had not decreased. As it happens, there might have been a cause for that. Farmers filed a class-action antitrust lawsuit against Corteva Agriscience, one of the biggest agrichemical companies in the US, alleging that the…
The octagon, the lights, and the cacophony come to mind when people think of the UFC. Federal courtrooms in Nevada are not typically on their minds. However, the biggest mixed martial arts organization in the world has been engaged in a different kind of competition for over ten years, one in which the judges don robes and the damage isn’t measured in broken bones. December 2014 saw the filing of the case that would eventually become Cung Le, et al. v. Zuffa, LLC. A number of current and former fighters, including fighters like Jon Fitch, Nathan Quarry, and Cung Le,…
It has an almost universal quality. The phone rings while you’re at home, but you don’t recognize the number. Before you can say anything, a recorded voice on the other end pitches you on buying or selling a house. Most people just ignore it because it irritates them in a particular, low-grade way. However, those demands served as the basis for a federal lawsuit that ultimately resulted in a $20 million settlement for hundreds of thousands of Americans. The complaint that started the case, Bumpus et al. v. Realogy Holdings Corp., was submitted in California in June 2019. The plaintiffs…
The way Netflix established its reputation is subtly unsettling. The business marketed itself for years as the environmentally friendly substitute for the Big Tech surveillance apparatus. No targeted advertisements. No gathering of data. A library of shows and a fixed monthly fee. The company’s co-founder, Reed Hastings, stated unequivocally in 2019 and 2020 that Netflix does not gather or profit from user data in the same manner as other tech behemoths. That message was heard by subscribers. A large number of them accepted it. Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas, seems to think that something different took place behind…
Since April 1926, a restaurant on Regent Street has been operating in silence. It made it through the Blitz. It withstood the financial crises, the pandemic, the postwar years, and the turbulent 1980s. There, Winston Churchill dined. It was where Vivien Leigh dined. The Danish King was so fond of the location that he sent a cask of Carlsberg beer and stored it there for his own visits. Veeraswamy has been one of those unique locations that manages to endure while everything around it changes for a century. It is now facing eviction. Additionally, it is suing the Crown Estate…
A robocall has an almost unremarkable quality. The majority of people end the call in a matter of seconds, mutter something under their breath, and carry on with their day. Sometimes, though, one of those automated calls ends up having a legal significance. This is what happened with Register.com, a domain registration company that has been in business since the early days of the internet. It seems that the company continued to call numbers long after the people it believed it was reaching had stopped using them. Lewis v. Register.com, Inc., a lawsuit filed in an Indiana federal court, is…
When there’s nothing in front of you, a car braking hard can be unsettling. There was just an open road with no pedestrians, stopped trucks, or unexpected obstacles, and then your car suddenly threw its weight against itself. That isn’t just a hypothetical situation for some Subaru owners. It’s now a common and terrifying aspect of driving. That experience is being put into legal language in a proposed class action lawsuit that was filed in federal court in New Jersey in May 2026. The automaker’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which Subaru has promoted as one of its most alluring safety…
In December 2020, just before a Quebec winter, Amélie Paquette purchased her 2021 Tesla Model 3. She spent $52,880 on it, which is a significant choice for anyone. Sensors started to malfunction within weeks. Debris found its way into the fan mechanism in a matter of months. Eventually, it became necessary to replace the manifold, compressor, and fluid lines—at least under warranty. Then, on January 27, 2026, while the cabin was being preheated, smoke began to pour out, followed by a chemical odor. The heat pump as a whole had to be removed. The warranty had run out this time.…
A beloved grocery store like Trader Joe’s becoming embroiled in a federal lawsuit over a receipt is almost poetic. Not a breach of data. Not a scandal involving a product. a receipt. In particular, a receipt that printed a customer’s credit card number with a few extra digits. Four on the back and six on the front. Ten digits, which seems to have been ten too many. According to the lawsuit, Keim v. Trader Joe’s Company, the retailer printed the first six and last four digits of customers’ debit or credit card numbers on receipts at specific stores, in violation…
