Texas Officials Disband Local Cop Shop For Failing To ‘Provide Any Benefit To The Community’
"Defund the police" has come for at least one local law enforcement agency in one of the reddest states in the nation.

ICE Officer Who Dodged Extradition To Minnesota Arrested By MN Cops One Day Before His *Federal* Criminal Court Appearance
I love everything about this. I love the way this ICE officer was picked up. I love the fact that his lawyer claims an arrest is the same thing as "surrendering." And I especially love the fact that this officer is in state custody only a day prior to scheduled court appearance to face federal...

Texas Politicians Slowly Realize Elon Musk Hijacked Billions In Taxpayer Broadband Grants
Back in June I wrote a feature for The Verge about how Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos had convinced Republicans to redirect billions in taxpayer money away from future-proof fiber optic upgrades, and toward their low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband networks they'd already planned to deploy.

Of all the things I thought the Trump administration would cause to enter the public lexicon, I certainly did not have screwworms on my list.
