Can the energy giants be held responsible for extreme weather?- The Atlantic “Some extreme weather events are difficult to accurately link to human-made climate harm, but not the heat catastrophe that struck Multnomah County in 2021. The article makes clear that case is scientifically sound.”

The higher the dose. The more pills. The bigger the paycheck.These were the people persuading doctors to prescribe opioids to patients across America. And every bottle they pushed meant more money in their pocket and more addiction, more overdoses and more funerals.

The Defendant oil companies and their trade associations arepushing to dismiss the case, arguing this case should end here and now. We believe accountability belongs in the courtroom, and that the facts deserve to be heard by a jury.

human-made tragedy in court via a $52 billion lawsuit. Multnomah County alleges that the most extreme heat event in the region’s history was not simply an act of nature, but the foreseeable result of decades of deception by fossil fuel companies about the dangers of climate change.

Early in a legal career, the drive to prove yourself can overshadow everything — every case is a chance to sharpen skills, showcase talent, and win. But with time comes a sobering realization: to do what trial lawyers do best, someone else must lose.

The success or failure of mass tort litigation often hinges on the presence of key public factors—chief among them, widespread moral outrage. This distinction helps explain why litigation over clergy sex abuse in the 1980s through early 2000s saw impactful outcomes,

Climate change is not just an environmental issue — it’s a driver of human displacement. As rising temperatures dry out soil and devastate crop yields, food security collapses, especially in vulnerable agrarian economies across Central America.

Government intervention has now lowered insulin prices to $35, but for over 15 years, countless patients were forced to ration or forgo life-saving medication — a stark example of systemic failure in our healthcare market.

We expose the financial exploitation surrounding insulin pricing. For years, insulin that cost manufacturers $65–$80 was sold for $200, while Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), who produce nothing, extracted $130 in profit.

Healthcare providers, lawmakers, and community members may disagree on how to define the crisis — whether it’s the opioid epidemic, the fentanyl epidemic, or the widespread issue of untreated pain. But civil discourse, like the kind happening here, is essential for building understanding.

The U.S. Constitution calls for a progressive tax system — yet in reality, our tax structure has grown increasingly regressive. It’s indefensible that billionaires can pay a lower percentage of their income, or even fewer total tax dollars, than their secretaries or their children’s teachers.
