Oregon ends bid to delay Paramount–Warner merger after dropping records demand

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield withdrew his civil investigative demand and a 60-day delay to review Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery after Paramount declined to turn over the requested records, including lobbying documents codenamed 'Project Warrior.' The move ends Oregon's attempt to stall the deal for review, though other states and the UK are weighing antitrust actions and Hollywood has opposed the merger.

Camper Found Alive After Two-Day Ordeal in Mount Jefferson Wilderness

Rescuers located 68-year-old John Nelson alive about five miles from Russell Lake after he went missing on July 7 in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness. He’d been stranded in rugged, burned terrain with downed trees; volunteers and air assets—including an Oregon National Guard Black Hawk helicopter—brought him to safety for medical evaluation. Nelson, a retired doctor, was reunited with his family after the rescue, which involved multiple agencies and more than 100 rescuers.

Oregon Drops Bid to Slow Paramount-WB Merger, Court Date Remains

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield withdrew a civil investigative demand for Paramount to turn over records and dropped a plan to delay the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger by 60 days; a Multnomah County hearing is set to review next steps. Paramount welcomed the move, saying it avoids delaying a lawful, pro-competitive deal. California and other states are weighing legal challenges, while regulators worldwide have largely cleared or reviewed the transaction. The AG had also sought documents on Paramount’s lobbying strategies, including a plan dubbed “Project Warrior,” which Paramount argued are not relevant to antitrust review.

Oregon AG Pushes 60-Day Pause and Docs in Paramount-WBD Merger

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield asked a Multnomah County judge to postpone Paramount’s closing of its Warner Bros. Discovery deal by 60 days and to compel Paramount to hand over documents related to the merger, including lobbying materials tied to the DOJ-regulated process. A hearing is set for Monday as Paramount faces EU regulatory reviews; the DOJ has approved the deal, while UK officials and other states consider challenges. Paramount has objected to the document requests, arguing they are burdensome and marginal to Oregon’s antitrust inquiry.

Oregon Tops U.S. States for Food Poisoning Risk, New Outbreak Data Show

Oregon is identified as America’s food poisoning capital, reporting about 67,000 foodborne incidents over the last 50 years—roughly one illness per 63 residents. Delaware and Pennsylvania follow, then Colorado and Nevada, while Alaska ranks as the safest with about one illness per 3,234 people. The rankings come from casino.ca using CDC’s National Outbreak Reporting System data and traveler surveys. With peak summer travel and about 61.4 million Americans expected to travel by car, the overall risk of getting sick from spoiled food is about 1 in 319. CDC tips include washing hands, avoiding lukewarm foods, keeping perishables cold, and cooking meat to safe temperatures.

Oregon, Washington and North Carolina have declined invitations to participate in President Trump’s Great American State Fair on the National Mall, citing costs and concerns the event will be too partisan; Pennsylvania has yet to decide.
