Ocean Casino Seeks $1.5M Over Fire Response — © IJR

Ocean Casino Resort plans to seek $1.5 million from Atlantic City, alleging the Fire Department’s response to a small July 27 fire in a linen room caused additional damage. The casino says a burst pipe and resulting water damage affected the lobby, casino floor and equipment, forcing gambling operations to close for a day and disrupting hotel business. Its claim includes repair and engineering costs as well as lost business, including cancellation of a $30,000 slot tournament; the notice does not detail precisely how firefighters allegedly mishandled the response. The allegations have not been adjudicated, and city officials had not commented in the reports.

The protections include private-by-default profiles and limits on content and messaging; Meta says similar age-estimation tools are planned for Facebook and Threads, and it has begun using Apple’s age-range signal in Australia.

Investors who bought Ensign Group securities from Feb. 10, 2022, through June 18, 2026, are covered by a securities class action alleging the company and some executives misrepresented care quality and engaged in neglect and record falsification; Ensign has not been shown to have admitted the allegations. Investors seeking to lead the case must ask the court by Dec. 7, 2026, after reports of the allegations were followed by an 8.15% stock decline.

Supreme Court weighs end to damages suits against federal officers

The Supreme Court is weighing whether to preserve a precedent that lets people sue federal officers for damages over alleged constitutional violations, in a case brought by a Hawaii prisoner who says a prison nurse denied him needed care. The decision could further restrict or eliminate such lawsuits, including claims against immigration agents; supporters of the precedent say that would leave victims with few avenues for accountability, while critics argue courts should not create remedies absent congressional authorization.
