A U.S. attorney in Seattle suing over his removal. And Piers carry Johnson reports he was appointed by federal judges this month only to be fired by President Trump the same day. Roger Rogoff is a former federal prosecutor and county judge in Washington state. The federal district court there named him the U.S. attorney in Seattle last week to fill a long standing vacancy. But less than an hour after Rogoff swearing in, President Trump fired him.

Now, Rogoff is suing to get the job back arguing Trump violated the Constitution's appointments clause and exceeded his authority under a federal vacancy statute. It's the latest flashpoint over the president's effort to install interim U.S. attorneys and do an end run around the Senate confirmation process. The Justice Department says Rogoff's firing was within the president's power and the district court did not consult with the O.J. on the selection.

A software error in New Jersey led to more than 6,000 non-citizens being registered to vote. And PR's Miles Parks reports the issue has been resolved, but such errors have been shown to fuel conspiracy theories. The software error meant that thousands of people who answered no to the question are U.S. citizen at a DMV were still registered to vote anyway. Now, Jersey's governor, Mikey Cheryl, called the problem serious, but she also said fewer than 400 of the mistake and registrants actually voted. And the erroneous registrations have now been removed as well.

The sorts of bureaucratic errors aren't unheard of, Oregon dealt with a similar issue in 2024, but non-citizens have never been shown to register on purpose and anything but very small numbers.

Still, experts expect these sorts of errors to be spotlighted by those looking to cast out on the entire election system this fall. Miles Parks and PR news at Washington. This is in PR news.

A new NASA telescope set to launch next month. My given sites in two black holes from the administration of the U.Y.P.R. Scott Mosseoni explains. The hardest part about observing black holes is that they're black and hard to see, even on a high resolution telescope.

The best way to look for them is to look at the stars they're shredding apart with their massive gravitational poles.

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will launch on August 30, partly to detect black holes that existed up to 11 billion years ago.

Mitchell Carmen, a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, is the lead on the study. Studying black holes is really studying the most extreme parts of physics. And it's all a part of trying to understand how the world works, even in the biggest sin in the smallest scales. The Roman Telescope will have the same resolution as the Hubble Telescope both a much larger field of view. For NPR News, I'm Scott Mosseoni in Baltimore.
