A top Department of Labor official has prohibited Department of Labor staff from attending or speaking at American Bar Association (ABA) events in an official capacity, citing the organization's "radical goals." The policy eliminates agency funding for these events and requires employees who choose to attend to do so personally and without using their official titles. This directive follows similar actions by the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission amid a lawsuit by the ABA, which alleges the administration used executive orders to intimidate law firms into silence by threatening their security clearances and federal contracts.

Cleveland has earned a spot on CDP’s 2025 "A List" , a distinction reserved for places demonstrating top-tier environmental governance and transparent disclosure of climate data. To achieve this leadership status, the city met rigorous criteria including the publication of a comprehensive emissions inventory, a credible climate action plan, and a full risk and vulnerability assessment. Through the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability , Cleveland continues to leverage this data-driven approach to co-create policies that reduce carbon emissions and build long-term resilience for all residents.
