Congress Votes on WOTUS Provisions
The House voted 213-211 to approve the Agriculture and Nutrition Act (aka the Farm Bill), which included an amendment by Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) permanently repealing the 2015 water rule. According to Rep. Banks, "WOTUS gave unelected bureaucrats at the EPA the power to broadly interpret what is a navigable waterway in a way where even a puddle could be subject to federal regulation. This rule has been harmful across all industries in our country and it is time we remove the regulation once and for all."

Picture Perfect Marketing with Pinterest
Though most social media platforms are equipped to share photos and videos, Pinterest was one of the first to capitalize on visuals alone when it debuted in 2010. Ripe with colorful, enticing photos, the "pinboard"-style platform acts as a gateway to drive traffic to a desired location. Users are able to create different pinboards to categorize posts, and each pin directs other users directly to a desired site, such as a blog, landing page, or, in Maxwell's case, a listing.
