Capital One has filed a federal lawsuit in the Eastern District of Virginia against ten unidentified “John Does” who operate large‑scale robocall and telemarketing scams that illegally use the Capital One and Discover trademarks; the complaint alleges the defendants pose as bank representatives, warning customers of suspicious charges and prompting them to confirm transactions or personal information, thereby misleading and deceiving consumers nationwide. The bank says it is leveraging trademark and false‑advertising law not only to seek damages but, more importantly, to expose and deter the perpetrators and the infrastructure that enables such imposter scams—a fraud category that generated over one million FTC complaints and $3.5 billion in losses last year. Capital One’s vice‑president of fraud strategy, Chad Miller, notes that private litigation adds a new layer of enforcement alongside regulators, allowing the company to gather information through discovery and disrupt scam networks, while experts advise consumers to stay vigilant, verify communications, and use call‑blocking tools to protect themselves.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A woman in her 60s was sentenced to two years in prison for aggravated fraud and breach of trust after deceiving an elderly man in Kronoberg County out of millions of kronor. She obtained powers of attorney from her husband to misuse his money for personal purchases and debts, and allegedly coerced the elderly man into signing a will that would leave his nearly ten‑million‑kronor estate to her—a will later declared invalid by the district court. In addition to the prison term, she was ordered to repay just over 1.7 million kronor to the victim’s estate.

New court ruling blocks many of the government's anti-renewable policies
#US #DistrictCourt issued injunction blocking gov from applying a range of restrictions on renewable power development, at least for the parties in the suit.
While the ruling is good news for companies looking to develop non-polluting energy sources, it leaves intact one of the only attempts the government has made to rationalize its animosity toward #renewableenergy.

Trump turns on his own judicial appointee, who blocked his Oregon troop deployment — twice

By Bob Egelko, Staff Writer, Oct 6, 2025

President Donald Trump has a history of attacking judges who rule against him, labeling them “radical lunatics” or some other disparagement and calling for their impeachment. But he doesn’t usually go after judges he appointed.

That changed this weekend.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, named to the court in Portland, Ore., by Trump in 2019, heard the challenge to his deployment of Oregon’s National Guard troops to Portland only because Trump’s administration objected to the initial assignment of a judge appointed by President Barack Obama.

Nevertheless, she ruled Friday that the Trump administration had failed to present evidence of severe dangers or a rebellion against the government that would justify a federal takeover of the state’s National Guard troops.

And when Trump responded by ordering redeployment to Portland of 300 California National Guard troops, whom he had dispatched to quell immigration protests in Los Angeles, Immergut said the administration was either ignoring or defying her previous order, and barred the president from sending the National Guard from any state to Oregon’s largest city.

The judge is a Republican with a background that would appear ideal for a Republican presidential appointee — she was a longtime state and federal prosecutor, was appointed U.S. attorney in Portland by President George W. Bush and was an aide to Kenneth Starr in the investigation that led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.

That didn’t stop Trump from assailing her. He didn’t call Immergut a radical leftist, but appeared to say — and show — that he didn’t know much about her.

“I wasn’t served well by the people that pick judges, I can tell you,” Trump said Sunday outside the White House. “I appointed the judge and he goes like that, so I wasn’t served well. Obviously, I don’t know the judge,” who “ought to be ashamed of himself,” Trump added, displaying his lack of knowledge by misgendering her. He later said the judge should be “ashamed of herself,” and that Portland was “burning to the ground,” contrary to evidence presented by the state and endorsed by Immergut.

Trump’s national security adviser, Stephen Miller, described Immergut’s rulings as a “legal insurrection” — apparently viewing any decision against Trump’s military deployments as an attempt to overthrow his government.

During his first term, Trump referred to a judge who had ruled against his ban on Muslims entering the United States as a “so-called judge.”

DC #DistrictCourt lets #NSF keep swinging axe at $1B in #research grants
Judge rules there’s no quick fix for 1,700+ axed grants, leaving labs scrambling for cash
Plaintiffs argued NSF's cancellation of more than 1,700 research grants worth upwards of $1 billion were arbitrary, unlawful and would do irreparable harm to country's research ecosystem. They asked for #preliminaryinjunction that would have forced NSF to reinstate the money immediately while the case plays out
