North American miners are striking gold, literally and figuratively. $2.9B raised in 185 deals this October, the fastest pace since 2013. From gold to copper and uranium, investors are piling in. When the miners boom, markets listen.

While the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 states furloughed and excepted federal employees are entitled to receive back pay, a recent OMB memo suggests otherwise.

Most federal workers are entitled to back pay when the shutdown ends, but there are some exceptions.

Recent events highlight a pattern: concerning online behavior often appears before real-world incidents. This isn't political—it's about protecting people and workplaces. Screen for patterns, not just history.

Our recent research finds that nearly half of Americans are already noticing the shutdown’s impact. Leaders in Congress have an obligation to come back into session and end this crisis by reopening the government before these harms multiply further for the public.

Career federal employees, both military and civilian, should not bear the brunt of this dereliction of duty. The Shutdown Fairness Act partially remedies the financial harms for some federal workers but ought to apply to all public servants.

Inspectors general are one of the central watchdogs of the federal government, identifying and stopping waste, fraud and abuse and saving taxpayers tens of billions of dollars every year. In fiscal year 2024 alone, the internal auditors and investigators saved taxpayers $70B.

By dismissing those providing data contrary to the president's preferred narrative, we do not just lose civil servants committed to the public good—we lose the principle of fact-based governance itself.

The loss of data has been extensive, and the consequences will be devastating to everything from Social Security to climate change.

Information that has been relied on for decades to make critical economic, scientific and public safety decisions has been disappearing—scrubbed from government websites or no longer collected because it doesn't conform to the administration's views.
