WASHINGTON - June 1 - Today the U.S. House of Representatives voted against Clean Water Act protections for streams, lakes, and rivers across the United States.

The Dirty Water Rider was introduced by Rep.

Did Anonymous take down Facebook?
Multiple media outlets report Anonymous claimed responsibility for temporarily disabling Facebook. However, those outlets fail to provide any confirmation for these reports, and it is not at all clear that any group or individual associated with the Anonymous collective has in fact claimed responsibility for the temporary outage experienced by Facebook on May 31.
Indeed, The Next Web is reporting that they have confirmed Anonymous was not responsible for disabling Facebook, claiming “A Facebook spokesperson told us: ‘Last night’s outage was not the result of a DDoS.’”
