I’m not sure he sued the city. He filed a bankruptcy in Florida and asked the bankruptcy court to stop the demolition per the bankruptcy code. Hopefully the city gets counsel in Florida to lift the stay and proceed with the demolition as stopping demolition that has already begun is dangerous and creates a hazardous condition and will cause unnecessary expense in having demolition crews on standby

Landlord Josh Bruno sues New Orleans over DeGaulle Manor demolition https://www.nola.com/news/politics/josh-bruno-lawsuit-degaulle-new-orleans/article_b15d7517-418a-4c8a-9c75-45f5321b15e3.html?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

The Supreme Court released four decisions today. All were 6-3 or 7-2, with the right-wing majority writing the opinions. Quick summaries below:

1. Monsanto Co. v. Durnell (7-2)

The Court ruled that Monsanto is shielded from cancer victims suing over Roundup. Federal pesticide law blocks states from requiring cancer warnings on labels.

2. Wolford v. Lopez (6-3)

The Court struck down Hawaii’s law requiring permission to bring guns into private property that is open to the public like stores, restaurants, and hotels.

3. Mullin v. Al Otro Lado (6-3)

Asylum seekers stopped at the border or turned back in Mexico? The Court says you haven’t “arrived” in America yet — so no right to apply for asylum.

4. Mullin v. Doe (6-3)

The conservative majority ruled that the Trump administration can end temporary protected status (TPS) for migrants fleeing violence and natural disasters in Haiti and Syria, and that courts cannot review the federal government's decisions in regards to TPS.

BREAKING: In June, a federal court will consider white voters’ effort to eliminate Louisiana's remaining majority-Black district following SCOTUS’ gutting of the Voting Rights Act.

White voters argue that even the new, current gerrymander with only one such district is still a racial gerrymander.

The hearing marks a dangerous escalation in these voters’ attempt to eliminate Black representation in the Bayou State ahead of the midterms.
