Elon Musk wanted to turn his SpaceX launch site into a city. Voters in Texas just said yes.
A small group of mostly SpaceX employees voted to incorporate the area around the SpaceX rocket testing and launch site near Brownsville as the City of Starbase.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote.

Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

Watching an Oval Office press conference. Trump threatens China with an additional 50% tariff if they don’t relent by noon tomorrow. He goes on to talk about how great America and the military is. On and on. He talks a lot and says a whole lot of nothing.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
