Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme rejected a lawsuit brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) challenging a California ban on state-funded travel to states with discriminatory laws, including Texas.
The Lone Star State found itself added to the list of problematic states in 2017, after lawmakers passed a bill allowing adoption and foster care agencies to cite religious beliefs as justification for turning away same-sex couples, religious minorities, and other prospective parents.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected an attempt by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to challenge a California ban on state-funded travel to states with discriminatory laws a list Texas landed on in 2017 after the Legislature approved a religious-refusal law for adoptions in the state.
The move comes as the Texas Legislature grapples with a slate of anti-LGBTQ bills that business leaders warn could be harmful to Texans and a threat to the state’s economy, which is still reeling from the recession that accompanied the coronavirus pandemic.
On Monday, the court, charged with hearing disputes between states, declined to hear Paxton’s challenge, filed early last year. The ban prevents California agencies, public universities and boards from funding work-related trips to Texas.

The 2021 NFL Draft is nearly upon us, and phones are heating up across the league. Wheeling and dealing is already well underway with more moves to come.
Draft night rarely goes according to plan and to believe things would be any different this year would be foolish. We can expect a slew of trades throughout the first round and beyond, but especially over the top 15 picks.
Here’s a look at five players we consider to be the most likely trade targets for teams in this year’s draft.
