By Jordan Valinsky | CNNNEW YORK — Taco John’s, the regional chain that has “Taco Tuesday” trademarked, announced Tuesday that it’s ending its fight in defending the phrase and will “abandon” it because it doesn’t want to pay the legal fees that come with a fight against Taco Bell.“We’ve always prided ourselves on being the home of Taco Tuesday, but paying millions of dollars to lawyers to defend our mark just doesn’t feel like the right thing to do,” Taco John’s CEO Jim Creel said in a statementTaco Bell filed a petition in May with the US Patent and Trademark office to cancel the trademark owned by rival Taco John’s for 34 years because Taco Bell claims the commonly used phrase “should be freely available to all who make, sell, eat and celebrate tacos.”As a result of the trademark being abandoned, Creel said that it’s donating $40,000 ($100 per its roughly 400 locations) to Children of Restaurant Employees (CORE).CORE is a nonprofit organization that “supports restaurant workers w...Protests rock Israel as Netanyahu pushes judicial reform

By Josef Federman | Associated PressJERUSALEM — Tens of thousands of protesters on Tuesday blocked highways and train stations and massed in central Tel Aviv during a day of countrywide demonstrations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s contentious judicial overhaul plan.The protests, now in their seventh month, have taken on a sense of urgency in recent days as Netanyahu and his allies in parliament march ahead with the program. The first bill in the package – a measure that seeks to limit the Supreme Court’s oversight powers – could become law as soon as next week.The unrest also cast a shadow over a visit to the White House by Israel’s figurehead president, Isaac Herzog, who was invited to Washington to celebrate Israel’s 75th anniversary.Herzog, a political centrist, has been involved in behind-the-scenes efforts to broker a compromise on the judicial overhaul, which has strained relations between Netanyahu and President Joe Biden.In a meeting wit...Ahead of vote on salary raise, Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao asks for lowest amount

OAKLAND — Hours before the City Council was expected to give Mayor Sheng Thao the highest possible salary raise she could receive under the city’s rules, the mayor publicly urged the council members to reverse course.In a statement Tuesday morning, Thao asked instead for the lowest possible amount required by law: a bump of about $13,000 that would bring her annual salary to roughly $216,000.“As a leader, I know this is in the best interest of the city’s fiscal health, and it is also the right thing to do,” Thao said in the statement.If the council approves any higher amount, Thao said she would “reject it and refund” the excess money to “deliver services to our neighborhoods.”Thao’s request came amid growing public pressure and scrutiny following a decision by a committee of city councilmembers last week to approve what would be a 78% salary hike — raising her compensation to just under $278,000 annually.The local chapter ...Latest news
