Adidas is facing a lawsuit from investors who allege the sportswear giant "routinely ignored extreme behavior" of Ye years before it dropped its partnership with the artist formerly known as Kanye West.
Driving the news: Adidas told USA Today Sunday it would fight the lawsuit, which alleges a 2018 report "ignored serious issues" of partnering with Ye by "generally alluding" to risks "rather than stating that the company had actually considered ending the partnership as a result of West's personal behavior."
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters Monday that democracy must include checks and balances, but stressed "Israel can decide what it wants to do" when asked about the Israeli government's controversial judicial overhaul plan.
Why it matters: The comments were a subtle jabat the Biden administration, which put significant pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to suspend the overhaul legislation and reach a broad consensus on judicial reform.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot urged Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in a letter Sunday to stop sending migrant buses to the city because it has "no more shelters, spaces, or resources to accommodate" any more.
Driving the news: The outgoing mayor said in the letter she's aware the state was due to "resume bussing individuals and families" to Chicago and other cities from Monday — a practice she called "inhumane and dangerous." She said they continued to "suffer under the humanitarian crisis you have created."
