Hi!
They must be having a major power or server outage. I couldn’t load their website and I can’t load anything on the app. I also haven’t gotten any emails from them since yesterday. The bug must be  system wide. I haven’t seen an outage this big from Newsline before.

I use Newsline over the phone and nothing has updated today so I
figured it was down.
