Two Republican members of the Federal Communications Commission face accusations that they violated government ethics rules during appearances at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai was given the National Rifle Association's Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire Award at CPAC Friday. Accepting the award is almost certainly a violation of government ethics rules, according to Walter Shaub, who was director of the US Office of Government Ethics from 2013 to 2017. Pai has not publicly responded to the accusation.
Also on Friday, FCC Commissioner Michael O'Rielly called for the re-election of President Donald Trump during his appearance at CPAC. Advocacy group American Oversight called for an investigation of O'Rielly, saying that he violated a rule against "engaging in partisan political activity while on duty."

In the past decade, Oklahoma has turned heads as it has joined the list of places where earthquake insurance is a prudent investment. The sudden uptick in seismic activity is due to injections of foul wastewater into deep disposal wells—triggering what are known as “human-induced earthquakes.”
The Okie state hasn’t been entirely alone in this, though. Because geology doesn’t respect state lines, the oil and gas wells producing all this wastewater—and the deep, salty aquifer it has been pumped down into—extends into Kansas. And a new study led by Justin Rubinstein of the US Geological Survey confirms that they have been causing earthquakes there, too.
While Oklahoma actually experienced some structural damage in several earthquakes, Kansas hasn’t seen anything stronger than a magnitude 4.9 that shook some items off of shelves. But between 2012 and 2016, southern Kansas had six magnitude 4 or larger quakes, which seems far from normal.
