Judge rules that Southwest failed to follow his order in a flight attendant’s free-speech case

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:32:38 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — A judge has sanctioned Southwest Airlines, writing that the airline twisted his words and disregarded his order in the case of a flight attendant who claimed that she was fired for expressing her opposition to abortion.U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr found Southwest in contempt for the way it explained the case to flight attendants last year after losing a jury verdict. In a blistering 29-page order, the judge said the airline acted as if its own policy limiting what employees can say is more important than a federal law protecting religious speech.On Monday, the judge ordered Southwest to pay the flight attendant’s most recent legal costs, dictated a statement for Southwest to relay to employees, and ordered three Southwest lawyers to complete “religious-liberty training” from a conservative Christian legal-advocacy group.For Southwest, the sanctions add insult to injury. They stem from a roughly $800,000 judgment against the airline and the flight atte...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:32:38 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — If you thought Friday's Mega Millions jackpot was impressive, Tuesday night's jackpot is expected to be at $1.55 billion, the highest amount for Mega Millions and the third largest in U.S. history.Friday's jackpot was the fourth largest for Mega Millions and the fifth highest jackpot in the U.S., which amounted to $1.35 billion. The jackpot was huge because the last jackpot won was on April 18 and there were 30 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. Can a Mega Millions jackpot winner remain anonymous? Not in these states Tuesday's jackpot is even bigger because there wasn't a winner on Friday. For every drawing without a winner, the prize gets closer to the largest jackpot in history. The largest jackpot ever won was from the Powerball jackpot last November, which reached $2.04 billion. The second largest jackpot in history was also from Powerball, which amounted to $1.586 billion in 2016. For the full jackpot, the winner would receive $1.55 billion over 3...
