Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has been criminally charged with willful neglect of duty. The charges come in connection with the Flint water crisis. Former Michigan health director Nick Lyons is another official also expected to face charges. The Flint water crisis started in 2014, when the city decided to switch to a new water supply to save costs. Business Insider reports the water supply the city moved to use, however, was contaminated with lead and other toxins.
President Donald Trump gave an interview to Fox Business on Sunday. In the interview he continued to make the claims of voter fraud in the 2020 Election. This is the latest instance of his refusal to accept his loss in the 2020 presidential election. Trump said he had asked his lawyers to file "one nice, big, beautiful lawsuit" encompassing his claims of voter fraud. He said his legal team told him he didn't have the standing to do so. Instead, the Trump campaign has filed a number of legal challenges in states across the country. According to Business Insider the lawsuits didn't net the president any sort of victory capable of overturning the election results.
The FBI is investigating a series of suspicious robocalls and texts urging voters to 'stay home and stay safe' during the election. A senior cybersecurity official said Tuesday that such calls 'happen every election,' and are a tactic to intimidate and suppress voters. According to Business Insider, approximately 10 million such robocalls have gone out to voters across the US in recent months. Officials in Michigan said that some voters in Flint also received calls telling them to go to the polls on Wednesday to avoid long lines on Tuesday. In Kansas and Nebraska, similar calls were reported. Officials urged voters in both states to ignore the false claims and head to the polls.
Three elephants named Mara, Kuki and Pupi have officially filed a lawsuit against the the Buenos Aires Zoo, where they currently reside, claiming that their quality of life there amounts to animal cruelty. Well, to put it more accurately, their lawyer, Andres Gil Rodriguez, has been allowed to state these claims on behalf of his pachyderm clients by the court, but the elephants really are suing the zoo for animal cruelty. No, really. The argument is that the elephants could have a much better life at an elephant sanctuary had they not been held captive by the zoo for profit. And ever since a 2014 ruling which declared that an orangutan has the same rights as humans, they actually might win.
