BREAKING: The Trump administration has started detaining people in tents at Fort Bliss, an army base in Texas and New Mexico.
This facility is on track to be the nation's largest immigrant detention center holding up to 5,000 people, and will cost an estimated $1.26 billion of taxpayers' money.

But it’s not over yet. Provisions like the 10-year ban on state AI regulation and the forced sell-off of public lands are still in the bill. Keep spreading the word. Keep pushing back. This isn’t budget reform.

Common sense.
In places throughout the U.S. where plastic bags require a fee or have been banned, fewer bags end up at the water’s edge, according to research published Thursday in Science.
Banning Plastic Bags Works to Limit Shoreline Litter, Study Finds
Using crowdsourced data from shore cleanups, researchers found that areas that enacted plastic bag bans or fees had fewer bags littering their lakes, rivers and beaches than those without them.

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."
The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.
