Standing on the grounds of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and understanding what went through the pipes underneath it for thirty-four years carries a certain kind of weight. Spread over nearly 250 square miles of coastal plain, the base is located in Jacksonville, North Carolina. There, service members raised families, children played in yards and drank from kitchen taps, and pregnant women made coffee in the morning without any reason to suspect that the water coming out of the faucet was slowly making its way into their bloodstream and the blood of their unborn children. They were not warned. No…

Being a paying subscriber to a streaming service (monthly fee, account in your name, viewing history sitting quietly on their servers) and learning that the movies you watched late at night, the ones you might not bring up at a dinner party, were being discreetly sent to a marketing firm you’ve never heard of is a unique kind of irony. That’s the claim at the heart of the most recent class action lawsuit against Crunchyroll, and the timing couldn’t be more awkward for a platform based on the devotion of a fervent and privacy-conscious fan base. A class action lawsuit…

The routine is so automatic on most mornings that it hardly registers. toothbrush. toothpaste. For two minutes. Completed. Colgate, a name so ingrained in everyday life that it practically serves as a synonym for the product itself, has been a part of that ritual for generations for millions of American families. This is one of the reasons the company’s current legal situation is so genuinely unsettling. Once you’ve read the details, it’s subtly difficult to shake without being loud or dramatic. Colgate-Palmolive’s toothpaste products are currently the subject of two distinct lawsuits, which taken together present a picture of a…

Over the course of more than three decades, Valve Corporation has built what is arguably the most covertly powerful company in the entertainment industry somewhere in Bellevue, Washington, on the kind of low-key tech campus that doesn’t try very hard to announce itself. Not a single shareholder. There are no earnings calls. There isn’t a public-facing CEO using prepared soundbites to tour conference stages. Just Steam, which is thought to hold 75% of the PC gaming market, is running smoothly and collecting 30% of almost every transaction that goes through it. Regulators hardly looked twice for a long time. It…

Imagine a child at a movie theater opening one of those enormous boxes of nerds—the rainbow kind, the ones that rattle when you shake them, the ones that have been a mainstay of American childhood since the 1980s. Imagine now that one of those boxes has more arsenic in it than the child should ingest in a year. In a federal class action lawsuit filed in February 2026, that is the main allegation, and it hasn’t quietly disappeared. On February 4, 2026, Christina Anstett, a mother, filed the lawsuit, Anstett v. Ferrara Candy Company, in the Northern District of Illinois.…

This story has an intriguing detail that has nothing to do with corporate governance or the nuances of Jamaican cybercrime law. It depicts Donna May Levy standing in her own company’s office building, watching as three men entered behind her after a woman rang the doorbell. covered in a mask. Unexpected. Furthermore, this was not an isolated incident. She claims that for five years, this became the norm in their lives. In less than a year, John Levy, a former director and shareholder of Jamaica’s largest energy company, West Indies Petroleum Limited, was cleared of all criminal charges twice. He…

On any given Tuesday morning, you can find a third-grader staring at a laptop screen while working through an i-Ready lesson in a classroom with fluorescent lights and construction paper on the walls in practically every elementary school in America. They may be irritated. They may be bored. They most likely don’t know exactly what is happening to the data they are producing with each click, and it appears that neither do their parents. The current situation surrounding i-Ready is truly worth paying attention to because of this awareness gap. The short answer to the question of whether i-Ready will…

Watching Julius Malema, a man who has dared South Africa’s establishment to confront him for more than 20 years, enter a press conference and declare that he has been sufficiently offended by words to file a lawsuit is almost theatrical. Not a dispute over policy. It’s not a political contest on the Parliamentary floor. a defamation case. over a podcast. And yet, here we are. In April 2026, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters announced that he was filing an R1 million defamation lawsuit against Kenny Kunene, the colorful deputy president of the Patriotic Alliance. During a February episode…

The fact that Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni weren’t doing press together was the first thing viewers noticed. It sounds insignificant, almost unimportant. Two individuals who collaborated on a $350 million movie were unable to share a single interview. Fans had begun to piece together what they could find by the time It Ends With Us opened in August 2024, including social media followings, promotional appearances, and body language in the few pictures that showed them together. It was obvious that something had gone wrong. Nobody was yet fully aware of how long it had been developing or how wrong…

Situated on Broad Street, a short distance from the former Capitol building, Richmond City Hall is an institution that has endured more than its fair share of challenging times in Virginia history. It doesn’t appear that requests for public records end up in this building. That’s essentially what was going on inside, though, according to Connie Clay, a former FOIA officer who spent about six months attempting to do her job before being fired for it. The city’s $549,000 settlement, which was reached in April 2026 following two years of litigation and more than $670,000 in legal defense expenditures, does…
