Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton could soon be out of a job after being accused of several crimes. The Texas House will vote on an impeachment resolution on Saturday. Olivia Julianna, a Texas-based activist and political strategist who Paxton once blocked on Twitter, told Insider that in Texas "Ken Paxton and crooked are synonymous." Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan was vocally opposed, calling it an improper use of taxpayer dollars. Phelan then helped lead a House Investigation into the allegations against Paxton due to the funding request, a spokesperson told The New York Times.

In an edited deposition video released as a trial exhibit in the civil rape case against former President Donald Trump, he said that looking “over the last million years” it has been largely true that celebrities can grab women by the genitals. Photo: Trial ExhibitA federal jury began its deliberations Tuesday after a civil trial in which writer E. Jean Carroll alleged former President Donald Trump raped her in a department-store dressing room in the 1990s, then damaged her reputation after she went public with her account of the incident. The nine-member jury, which heard testimony over two weeks, will weigh Ms. Carroll’s claims for battery and defamation, which she made in a 2022 lawsuit. Its deliberations began at 11:50 a.m., after the presiding judge gave jurors about an hour of legal instructions. The jury, consisting of three women and six men, must reach a unanimous verdict, the judge said.

New York CNN —The jury in the Ed Sheeran copyright infringement case — about whether Sheeran’s smash single “Thinking Out Loud” copied the classic Marvin Gaye song “Let’s Get It On” — deliberated for about five minutes Wednesday evening before the judge sent jury members home. If the jury decides Sheeran is liable for copyright infringement, the trial will move on to the second phase to determine damages. The family of Ed Townsend, who co-wrote “Let’s Get It On” with Gaye, has accused Sheeran of copying the 1973 hit. Earlier, an attorney representing the family suing Sheeran asked the jury Wednesday not to be “blinded by the defendant’s celebrity.”“Mr. Sheeran is counting on you to be very, very overwhelmed by his commercial success,” attorney Keisha Rice said in her closing argument Wednesday.

ChatGPT has grown in popularity among job seekers, writing cover letters and resumes in seconds. One recruiter says it's just a more accessible version of something job seekers have always done. People have shared stories on social media about using it to write cover letters, a time-consuming thorn in job seekers' side. As a recruiter who works with people in highly specialized roles, Laughlin also cautioned against using ChatGPT to bypass technical screenings for jobs, like with coding. But for now, he sees the bot as an impressive way for job seekers to get their foot in the door at companies.
