Texas Data Center Boom Collides with Transparency Push

Texas is seeing a surge in data centers, but information about projects is uneven at best due to nondisclosure agreements, shell companies, and private negotiations that shield ownership, water use, and power needs from residents and officials. In response, Governor Abbott has paused approvals and lawmakers are pushing for stronger reporting requirements as watchdogs note about 248 planned projects and 34 counties calling for more transparency.

Swift-Kelce Wedding Invites: A-List All-Access Amid NDA Frenzy

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding is expected to host about 1,000 guests under strict NDAs and penalties for leaks, with Disney chief executives, AMC’s Adam Aron, Steven Spielberg and a who’s-who of music and film power players among the invitees; Swift’s close circle—including Ellen Pompeo and Miranda Lambert—are rumored to attend, while Harry Styles was invited but cannot attend due to touring (his fiancée Zoe Kravitz is expected to attend); the fashion-forward guest list is being kept under wraps as organizers prepare a high-profile event, and Swift also announced $26 million in charitable donations in NYC ahead of the ceremony.

Black dodges NDA questions as Epstein probe hits a snag in House hearing

Leon Black refused to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements during a closed House hearing into Jeffrey Epstein, prompting subpoenas for the NDAs and for a future deposition; Democrats say the NDAs and Epstein’s involvement are central to the probe, while Black’s team calls the move partisan. The testimony revisits Black’s long ties to Epstein and the payments involved, and follows an Apollo Global Management independent review that found no evidence of wrongdoing by Black or Apollo, even as related lawsuits and investigations continue.

Black says Epstein duped him into big fee, testifies before Congress

Former Apollo Global Management CEO Leon Black testified before the House Oversight Committee, denying involvement in Epstein’s crimes while saying Epstein duped him into paying about $158 million in advisory fees—later claimed to be tax-deductible—amid subpoenas for NDAs; Black walked out of the deposition as scrutiny over Epstein’s ties to wealthy individuals intensifies.

Trump pushes sweeping NDAs for federal workers to curb leaks

OPM published a draft non-disclosure agreement for current and new federal workers intended to curb media leaks, saying the document documents obligations to safeguard non-public information and does not create new substantive speech restrictions, while preserving whistleblower rights. Critics, including the largest federal union, warn the measure could chill free speech and be used to pressure agencies to require signing; the public has 30 days to comment before finalization, and past leaks cited in the notice—about a Venezuela raid and ICE agent data—frame the context.

White House Proposes National NDA for Federal Employees, Sparking Debate

OPM proposes a government-wide nondisclosure agreement for federal employees to curb unauthorized disclosures and protect confidential information; agencies could choose to apply the NDA to onboarding and current staff, with civil and criminal penalties for violations, but it would not affect legally protected whistleblower disclosures; unions and critics warn it could chill candor and silence employees, as the rule enters a 30-day public comment period.

Roberts Tightens Secrets: SCOTUS Staff Face NDAs After Leaks

Chief Justice John Roberts has begun requiring Supreme Court staff to sign non‑disclosure agreements to keep the court’s inner workings secret after a leak about a pro‑Trump ruling and related immunity memos, with new hires also bound by NDAs that threaten legal action for disclosure. The move comes amid a string of leaks that have damaged the court’s reputation, and it’s unclear whether the justices themselves were asked to sign similar agreements.

UK to Ban NDAs That Silence Workers and Cover Up Misconduct

The UK government plans to ban the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to silence victims of workplace sexual misconduct or discrimination, aligning with practices in Ireland, the US, and parts of Canada, to better protect victims and promote transparency. The amendment to the Employment Rights Bill is expected to become law later this year after parliamentary debate.
