"Therefore, the International Association of Genocide Scholars:

That came in November, filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and 10 other Republican AGs, accusing three of the biggest asset managers on Wall Street—BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street—of running “an investment cartel” to depress the output of coal and boosting their revenues while pushing up energy costs for Americans. The Trump administration’s Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission filed a supporting brief in May.
The overall pressure campaign aimed at what’s known as “ESG” is having an impact.
“Over the past several months, through this [lawsuit] and other things, letters from elected officials, state and federal, there has been a chilling effect of what investors are saying,” said Steven Maze Rothstein, chief program officer of Ceres, a nonprofit that advocates for more sustainable business practices and was among the earliest letter recipients. Still, “investors understand that Mother Nature doesn’t know who’s elected governor, attorney general, president.”
Earlier this month, a US District Court judge in Tyler, Texas, declined to dismiss the lawsuit against the three asset managers, though he did dismiss three of the 21 counts. The judge was not making a final decision in the case, only that there was enough evidence to go to trial.

Headlines say Vegas is dead. What’s actually going on is more complicated – The Nevada Independent
Headlines say Vegas is dead. What’s actually going on is more complicated.
Tourism leaders say a boost in conventions and major events will revive the Strip, which could be headed toward its first major downturn since the pandemic.

(Jeff Scheid / The Nevada Independent) For the past 25 years, Cleveland residents Esther and Tom McElhinney have regularly vacationed in Las Vegas. But the couple said the high prices and overall experience is getting worse every time. Tom McElhinney said the Strip’s elevated costs are driving them away.
“The food is expensive, hotels are expensive,” Tom McElhinney said standing between Harrah’s Las Vegas and The Linq. “There’s great stuff to do here. I just don’t want to have to pay $400 for every meal. There used to be bargains and going to buffets, but it seems like those are all disappearing.
“You used to be able to play $5 blackjack everywhere, but now everything is high,” Tom McElhinney continued. “The allure here is gone. Vegas is really pricing people out.”
Strip resort operators are facing the industry’s worst economic downturn since the Great Recession 15 years ago. Gaming revenue at Strip resorts has declined in four of the last seven months and is essentially flat compared to 2024. Despite optimism from casino CEOs, analysts expect the Strip to face ongoing challenges into the fall.
There are also fewer Las Vegas visitors. Through July, the Strip has drawn more than 22.6 million visitors, down by 2 million from a year ago, an 8 percent decline.
Labor Day weekend, normally one of the year’s busiest holidays, is expected to see a nearly 2 percent drop in visitation, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The three-day weekend is expected to draw 320,000 visitors, down from 326,000 a year ago.
One challenge facing resort operators is the message on social media and other platforms is that Las Vegas is overpriced and no longer a value to the travel consumer.
Chicago visitor Patty Steiner said she usually comes every year to Las Vegas. But she’s not making plans to come back in 2026, as airline tickets and other expenses have gone up in cost.
“Everything is high. I just feel like it’s going to be a long road,” Steiner said. “The prices are outrageous. The food is crazy. I’m just very unhappy.”
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority CEO Steve Hill said he doesn’t believe in that narrative. At a media briefing Friday, Hill defended Las Vegas as a value destination and said the market has options to suit all consumers.
“Don’t just believe what you read. Go and do a little bit of work,” Hill said. “Call a travel agent, call on the properties. See what the price of Las Vegas really is, rather than some general headline that, frankly, is not accurate.”

Galaxy Watch6, Watch7, and Watch Ultra LTE receive August 2025 security update in India!
Samsung has just released the August 2025 security patch in India for the LTE version of Galaxy Watch6, Watch7, and Watch Ultra (2024 original and 2025 reboot). This patch enhances your smartwatch’s security to make sure that you and your data are kept secure. This aligns with the quarterly cadence of the software update scheduling for five years of security updates and four generations of system updates. The following firmware information is available:
You can now update your smartwatch, but if you still didn’t receive any update, you’ll have to wait for a few days as this rollout is a gradual rollout that starts from Korea. You can periodically check for updates to see if this update has reached your device. We recommend that you update your watch manager in your phone to ensure compatibility with the latest software.
To update your watch, follow these steps:
With your phone
Open Galaxy Wearable
Select your watch
Open Watch settings
Navigate to Software Update
Tap Download and Install
Wait until the update shows up, then press Download
Wait until the update gets downloaded and copied to your watch, then press Install
With your watch
Open Settings
Navigate to Software update
Tap Download and Install
Wait until the update shows up, then press Download
Wait until it gets downloaded to your watch, then press Install
In an event that something went wrong with copying the update, disconnect your phone from your watch by turning Bluetooth off or by disconnecting it through Galaxy Wearable, then try again from your watch. Make sure to turn Wi-Fi on in your watch to download the update faster.
Make sure that both your phone and your watch are charged before performing the update, and that your internet connection is stable. Never interrupt the update process, or there could be problems later. The update process may take a few minutes to finish, and if it appears to be stuck, just wait for more minutes.
Galaxy Watch7 and Watch6 Manager Update (April 2025)
Today, Samsung has rolled out the Galaxy Watch7 Manager and the Galaxy Watch6 Manager update globally as they’re working on an update for both smartwatches. You can now download the update through Galaxy Wearable > Devices > Menu > Settings > About. If there is an update available for your device, you should see the update button as below: The download size for this update is 155 MB, depending on the smartwatch model. Once the update is downloaded, you’ll be able to experience the new version of the Galaxy Wearable app and its manager plugins for your watch. This is done to improve reliability and performance, ensuring that you will be able to interact with your smartwatch more efficiently.
After the update, the following versions will be used:
Galaxy Wearable: 2.2.61.24112961
Galaxy Watch6 Manager: 2.2.13.25033151
Galaxy Watch7 Manager: 2.2.15.25010651
This update is necessary to align with the One UI 7 design elements.
