WorkGhislaine Maxwells Petition to the Supreme Court - The New Yorker (No paywall) The Supreme Court has been busy during its summer break, issuing decisions on emergency petitions that have enabled President Donald Trump to gut the Department of Education, deport people to South Sudan, and fire swaths of federal employees and agency heads.

WorkCountries deadlocked on plastic production and chemicals as talks on a global treaty draw to a close Negotiations on a global treaty to end plastic pollution are drawing to a close Thursday. Nations remain deadlocked over whether to tackle the exponential growth of plastic production. A draft of the treaty released Wednesday wouldn't limit plastic production or address chemicals used in plastic products.

Powerful oil and gas-producing nations and the plastics industry oppose production limits. Norway's minister for climate and the environment says the current text is unacceptable and the country's representatives won't leave Geneva with just any treaty.
