The White House
WASHINGTON – President Biden is announcing his intent to nominate 3 additional individuals to District Court vacancies, all of whom are immensely qualified and devoted to the rule of law and our Constitution. These candidates also speak to the President’s strong belief that the federal judiciary should reflect the proud diversity of the nation, both in terms of personal and professional backgrounds.
This is the second judicial nominations announcement made by the President, and these nominations will bring the full number of judicial nominees made during this administration to 14.
President Biden has spent decades committed to strengthening the federal bench, which is why he continues to move at a historically fast pace with respect to judicial nominations. Last month’s announcement of his intent to nominate 11 individuals was faster than any President in modern history, and today’s announcement continues that trend.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Last Chance Alliance: California becomes largest oil producer in world to commit to total O&G phaseout, ban fracking but not soon enough
SACRAMENTO, CA Today, Gov. Newsom announced a ban on new fracking projects by 2024 and directed the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to analyze pathways to phase out oil extraction across the state by no later than 2045.
The Governor’s announcement comes after years of pressure from environmental justice, public health, labor and climate organizations across California, who call on Newsom to stop issuing new oil and gas drilling permits, phase out existing oil extraction, and establish 2,500-foot setbacks between oil wells and sensitive land uses. While the announcement sets a vision for a managed decline of fossil fuel extraction, it sets a sluggish pace that fails to keep pace with science-backed timelines necessary to stave off the worst impacts of climate change.
