A group of Republican-led U.S. states has filed a lawsuit to block the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) from enforcing broad legal protections for transgender workers. The states argue that the EEOC lacks the authority to assert that federal law allows transgender workers to use bathrooms that match their gender identity. The EEOC recently updated its guidance on workplace harassment, stating that discriminating against gay and transgender workers is a form of unlawful sex bias. However, the states claim that federal law only protects transgender workers from being fired but does not require employers to accommodate them. The lawsuit also challenges the constitutionality of the EEOC's structure as an independent agency. The states involved in the lawsuit include Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, and Virginia.

A new report has shown that the UK has dropped out of the top 10 countries for good governance under Rishi Sunak's leadership. Weak leadership, poor economic management, and Brexit have dragged Britain down in the global index on good government. The Chandler Global Index for Good Government (CGGI) ranked the UK in 11th place, with scores for "leadership and foresight" placing it in 20th place. The UK also ranked 27th in financial stewardship. Despite Brexit, the UK's reputation and global influence were boosted, coming second in the category, only beaten by France. However, Brexit negatively impacted the UK's international trade score, dropping it by 26 places. Labour has used these findings to criticise the Tories and Rishi Sunak's leadership. Downing Street, on the other hand, questioned the findings, describing them as “strange” and “lacking in evidence”.

The White House's "Every Day Counts Summit" tackled the surge in chronic absenteeism since returning to in-person classes, focusing on community engagement to promote attendance. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona emphasized the crucial role of community in ensuring daily attendance, highlighting the distressing statistic that more than one in four students were chronically absent in recent years, significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. New initiatives announced include $250m in grants for learning acceleration and a partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics to support parents. The summit showcased strategies like Connecticut's door-knocking campaigns, which have proven effective by addressing specific family issues behind absenteeism. States like Rhode Island and Indiana are using real-time data dashboards to monitor attendance, part of broader efforts to mitigate chronic absenteeism through community and state-level engagement.

The IRS has implemented additional security measures to protect tax professionals and their clients from identity theft refund fraud. The Centralized Authorization File (CAF) program has been enhanced to address the risk of compromised CAF numbers, which can be used by fraudsters to obtain sensitive taxpayer information. The IRS has a process in place to suspend suspected compromised CAF numbers and contact the owners for confirmation. Changes have also been made to the Transcript Delivery System (TDS), requiring tax professionals to call the Practitioner Priority Service (PPS) line for transcript requests. Enhanced authentication is necessary, and transcripts may be mailed if the caller's identity cannot be verified. Tax professionals should be cautious of unsolicited scam emails requesting credential information. The IRS continues to work with the tax professional community to ensure the safety and security of tax information.

The Post Office has been stripped of its powers to investigate and report criminal allegations to Scotland's prosecutors due to the Horizon scandal, MSPs have been told. Dorothy Bain KC, the lord advocate, said that the Post Office would instead have to report allegations of crimes to the police. She has previously told MSPs that 54 people are thought to have been affected by the scandal north of the border. Earlier this week, the Scottish government brought forward emergency legislation to clear the name of Scottish sub-postmasters who were wrongly convicted. The lord advocate, the head of the Crown Office and the Scottish government's principal legal adviser, updated MSPs on progress on the Horizon cases on Thursday, after opposition parties had called for her to give another statement to parliament. “Because of its fundamental and sustained failures in connection with Horizon cases in Scotland, I've decided that Post Office Limited is not fit to be a specialist reporting agency. It is therefore no longer able to investigate and report criminal allegations directly to the Crown and it should now instead report any allegations of criminality to Police Scotland for them to investigate,” said Bain.

Big Law firms and their political action committees (PACs) are channeling more funds to Republican candidates in the 2024 elections, while overall spending on political campaigns has decreased compared to previous cycles. According to data from the Federal Election Commission analyzed by The American Lawyer, about 35 Am Law 200 firms and firm PACs have contributed approximately $513,530 to congressional races so far this year, a decrease from nearly $1m in 2022 and about $700,000 in 2020. Notably, Republicans have received $268,025 so far, surpassing the $231,863 donated to Democrats. This shift marks a significant change from the 2022 and 2020 cycles when Democrats received the majority of contributions from Big Law. Contributions are spread across parties, with some firms like Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer donating equally to both major party committees. However, Hunton Andrews Kurth has shown a strong preference for Republican candidates in its early 2024 donations. The most substantial individual recipient has been Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who has received $42,500 from Big Law sources. K&L Gates’ PAC is currently the top spender, contributing over $60,000 to various campaigns and PACs.
