Democrats and some Republicans question how the information will be used. 

Neal Kurk fought for privacy rights for three decades as a Republican state lawmaker in New Hampshire. Now he is joining a fight in the famously libertarian haven to keep the federal government from obtaining a list of the state’s voters. 

“This is an attempt to exercise federal interference in what is really a state issue,” said Kurk, who is part of a bipartisan group trying to intervene in a lawsuit brought by the Justice Department to get that list. “In New Hampshire, we’re always trying to make sure that our voter lists are accurate.” 

The Trump administration wants to control how data centers connect to the power grid 

At a conference of state utility regulators in Seattle, a group of Trump administration officials got an earful of complaints about a plan the White House is pushing for the federal government to take control of part of the country’s power grid in the service of artificial intelligence. 

Their concerns stem from instructions Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently gave to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is known as FERC and oversees wholesale power in the U.S., to draft new rules that would give it oversight of how giant data centers connect to the power grid. The process is typically overseen by states.

A new lawsuit is questioning the “microwave safe” and “freezer safe” claims of Ziploc plastic bags. The lawsuit against S.C. Johnson alleged that these claims for its Ziploc brand products are misleading, and that these uses of the products increase risk of exposure to microplastics.  

MARS: RESTORING ASIA'S CORAL REEFS FOR MARINE CONSERVATION 

Mars sustainable solutions has led one of the largest single coral restoration efforts to date in the Spermonde Archipelago, Sulawesi.  

The project, known as 'the big build', saw partners from government, NGOS, business and local communities work side by side to install a 2,500m² reef and outplant 30,000 corals in the heart of the coral triangle, a nature-rich area of tropical waters in Southeast Asia.
