Dear Editor,
You have asked me to provide you an update when I have further news regarding the suit that I have filed against Paramount Global, the Parent Company of CBS News. As you know I initially contacted you after filing a civil complaint in the Suffolk County Superior Court; and you probably sensed that it was the incorrect court to file. I filed the suit Pro se (on my own behalf).
The second week of August brings a near-perfect start, with sunshine, low humidity, and comfortable nights through Saturday. But by Sunday, the heat makes a strong return. A stretch of hot and increasingly humid days settles in through midweek, with widespread 90s and sticky conditions. Most of the week remains dry, but a few pop-up storms are possible later next week as the pattern turns more unsettled.
