Rhode Island residents are invited to take a brief 15-question online survey. The results, which will be released on America Recycles Day (November 15), will help guide public outreach strategies and educational programs.

Crews are now focusing on recovery operations in central Texas following last week's historic flooding. At least 120 people are dead and over 170 are still missing. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will be in the state tomorrow to tour the flood damage.        President Trump's attempt to restrict birthright citizenship is being stopped for now by a federal judge. The judge also granted class-action status in the case after the Supreme Court limited the ability of judges to block orders nationwide through other means. The order has been stayed for seven days by the judge to allow the government time to appeal.        Senate Majority Leader John Thune is discussing Senate races with President Trump. According to The Hill, the two met and broadly discussed races including Texas Senator John Cornyn's primary against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton and Cornyn are both Trump allies, however the president has not endorsed either in the primary.        Tesla is getting ready to expand its robotaxi service beyond Austin, Texas. CEO Elon Musk shared news of the expansion on 'X,' and noted that the company is awaiting regulatory approval for a launch in the Bay Area "probably in a month or two." In addition to the expansion, Tesla will integrate xAI's Grok into vehicles as it rolled out a new iteration of the artificial intelligence chatbot.        Jury selection is underway in the murder trial of a Colorado dentist accused of poisoning and killing his wife. James Craig was arrested in Aurora after his wife Angela died in 2023 after multiple hospital trips. Investigators say a combination of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline led to her death.        One of rock's most legendary stars will hit the road this fall. Paul McCartney announced he'll continue his Got Back Tour starting September 29th in Palm Desert, California. Macca will visit 16 cities across North America including Las Vegas, Denver, Minneapolis and Atlanta before wrapping up November 25th in Chicago.
