JPMorgan Chase is now facing a $5 billion lawsuit for “debanking” a person who was the subject of two federal criminal investigations, two state prosecutions, and civil suits targeting him, his businesses, and his charity. The civil charges included bank fraud. Gosh, the only explanation must be woke politics.

Who re-negotiates a $2.6 million loan without getting the terms in a signed writing? What court thinks that a contract that, by statute, has to be in writing to be enforceable doesn’t have to be in writing if it can be performed within a year? Florida.

I am happy to share that Delegate Marcus Simon has brought a bill to reintroduce some reasonable standards for zoning litigation in Virginia. Currently anyone anywhere has standing to sue every Virginia locality for every zoning action. That is a lot! https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB447 #zoning #VALeg #virginia #housing #litigation
Dutch government discriminated against Bonaire islanders over climate adaptation, court rules https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/28/netherlands-government-discriminated-bonaire-islanders-caribbean-climate-crisis-adaptation

Nach dem Gerichtsurteil des #Bundesverwaltungserichts gegen die @Bundesregierung sollte allen Ressorts jetzt klar sein, dass das vielfach geplante Aufweichen von Maßnahmen jetzt nicht mehr drinne ist, sondern im Gegenteil der #Klimaschutz nachgeschärft werden muss! D.h. konkret u.a.:
⚡ @BMWK wird das #EnEfG #Effizienzgesetz nicht schleifen können dürfen, sondern endlich ordentlich die #EU-Vorgaben ambitioniert umsetzen müssen!
⚡#Gaskathi und das @BMWSB_Bund werden die Novelle des #GEG zum #Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz nicht nutzen dürfen, um die #Wärmewende weiter zu torpedieren, sondern werden neben strengem Fuelswitch AUCH #Sanierungsmaßnahmen und #Effizienzstandards für #Gebäude besser aufstellen müssen! #EPBD #MEPS #Worstfirst
⚡ Das @bmv muss zwingend ein #Tempolimit angehen, anders lassen sich die notwendigen Minderungsbeiträge des Ressorts nicht erreichen!
⚡ und vieles mehr!
Klar ist: #Klimaklagen bzw. #Gerichtsurteile wurden auch in der Vergangenheit viel zu oft ignoriert. Aber lassen wir sie damit nicht durchkommen!!! Die Durchsetzungsfähigkeit des #BMUKN, bleibt spannend. In jedem Fall ist das Urteil in diesen Zeiten erstmal eine #goodnews (bei aller notwendigen #litigation). Denn es hat die #Klimakrise überhaupt erst mal wieder auf die öffentliche Tagesordnung gesetzt. Danke @umwelthilfe et al dafür!!!
