Less than 1: AM Edition, June 29

This morning on Less than 1: the U.S. Supreme Court shields Bayer and Monsanto from state-law failure-to-warn claims over Roundup's alleged cancer risks -- and plaintiffs' attorneys warn the ruling could threaten California's Proposition 65 warning regime. Also: a status conference is set in the coordinated social media addiction litigation as the second bellwether trial takes shape. And: the Supreme Court issues four significant rulings, expanding presidential removal authority over independent agencies, blocking Trump's firing of a Federal Reserve governor, upholding states' absentee ballot grace periods, and ruling that geofence warrants constitute a Fourth Amendment search. Plus: Gov. Gavin Newsom strikes a deal with Anthropic to make Claude the first AI tool available to all California state agencies and local governments.
