BREAKING: We're joining a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from accessing Rhode Island’s entire voter file as part of their effort to create a national voter database.
This puts our sensitive information at risk and could be used to try to disenfranchise voters.

When Trump’s administration stopped making pennies, they left banks, retailers, and consumers unsure how to conduct basic cash transactions.
The result? Inconsistent price-rounding and unequal treatment of customers. I’m pushing for answers.

What in the actual hell
I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS

As of this morning, our data analysts have worked through ~180 aftershocks above magnitude 3 from yesterday's large earthquake near the Hubbard Glacier. While we have not detected landslides, note that this event was on the same fault system that led to the 1958 Lituya Bay tsunami.
