Judge in Tesla case refuses to slash $3 million jury award for Black worker over ‘awful, pervasive racism’ at Fremont factory

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:15:09 GMT

A federal court judge cited “awful, pervasive racism” at Tesla’s electric car factory in Fremont as he shot down the company’s bid to halve a $3 million punitive-damages jury award to Black former worker Owen Diaz.“Tesla’s actions were grievously reprehensible. Diaz was subjected to a grossly racist workplace, with racist conduct perpetuated not only by coworkers or subordinates but also — and perhaps especially—by supervisors,” Judge William Orrick wrote in a ruling this week.Tesla sought to cut Diaz’s punitive damages award to $1,575,000, arguing that Orrick had erred in approving the $3 million.Orrick wrote that the $3 million was “appropriate in light of the endemic racism at the Tesla factory and Tesla’s repeated failure to rectify it.”Diaz sued the pioneering car maker headed by CEO Elon Musk in 2017 in U.S. District Court in San Francisco. A jury awarded him $137 million in damages in 2021. Orrick granted Tesla’s req...

By Melanie Zanona, Pamela Brown and Heley Talbot | CNNFormer House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is denying reports that he is expected to step down from Congress before the end of his term – telling reporters on Friday that he still has “work to do,” after sending signals in private conversations that he could step down early from Congress.“No, I am not resigning,” he told reporters.“We are going to keep the majority. I am going to help the people I got here, and we are going to expand it further.”Earlier Friday, multiple sources familiar with McCarthy’s thinking told CNN that he was expected to step down at some point after the House speaker’s election. And sources said McCarthy has been seriously considering the move.Pressed on whether he has considered stepping down early, he said, “I look at it every time I have to decide whether I am going to run for reelection or not.”After the House voted to oust McCarthy, the California Republican did not say whether he would remain in Congress. “...

Baby name searches for Taylor and Travis ‘soar” amid the Swift/Kelce frenzy

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:15:09 GMT

According to one theory, the rumored romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will quietly fizzle after her Era’s world tour concert movie debuts on Oct. 13. But this shining moment in the history of celebrity couplings could live on forever in the number of newborns possibly being named Taylor and Travis in the coming weeks and months.There’s definitely been a “Swift Effect” when it comes to the booming popularity of Taylor and other Swift-related names on BabyCenter.com, the San Francisco-based online parenting resource site.

The entertainment and sports media worlds have been in a frenzy since rumors began simmering in September that the two are dating. Taylo...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets cornerback D.J.

Backup cornerback Brandin Echols will also miss the game with a hamstring injury.“We’ll see,” Saleh said. “We have a plan, and we’ll wait until Sunday.”Reed had a Pro Bowl-caliber year last season, when he was a bit overshadowed by Gardner, who was the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year.
