California Supreme Court Reverses Ruling on Solar Incentives | JQJO

Judge Ana Reyes withdrew her request that Justice Department attorneys sign a filing in the East Potomac Golf Links case after President Donald Trump called her a “crazed lunatic” on Truth Social. The reversal came after a nearly seven‑hour hearing in which Reyes had invoked Rule 11 to require DOJ attorneys to identify who signed the brief. Reyes said she would no longer require the identification, citing “better things to spend our time on.” The case centers on Trump’s plan to renovate the federally owned golf course, which the National Park Service recently removed about 430 trees from. The judge’s earlier temporary restraining order barred further tree removals, and the hearing prompted Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward to seek Reyes’ removal from the case. Both Woodward and Trump have requested the release of the court’s audio recordings of the proceedings.

Trump’s remarks were intended to rally Republican voters ahead of the midterm elections.

The Republican Party of Florida has filed a lawsuit seeking a temporary injunction to prevent television stations from airing a Democratic campaign ad that criticizes the Hope Florida scandal and a grand jury’s findings. The GOP threatens criminal prosecution for stations that run or report on the ad. Judge Lance E. Neff of the Florida First District Court of Appeal previously ordered the expungement of the grand jury report, citing overreach. The lawsuit comes amid the final stretch of the Nov. three election, as the scandal continues to affect Senate candidate Angie Nixon’s campaign.

Netflix shares dropped in after‑hours trading on Tuesday after the company lowered its fourth‑quarter revenue guidance to thirteen point four billion dollars and full‑year advertising sales to two point seven billion dollars. The decline followed a solid third‑quarter performance, with earnings per share of eighty‑seven cents beating expectations and revenue of twelve point eight seven billion dollars matching forecasts. The guidance cut was attributed to timing of expenses, including a recent layoff of about one thousand workers, or six percent of total staff. Executives noted slower rollout of ad product capabilities and ongoing viewership growth challenges.
