The "Build Green" infrastructure bill would invest in electrification of transportation in the US.

A senator reports on visiting a building where border-crossing minors are kept. The senator says that they are being treated decently given their numbers.

If children were held long-term in such places, the places would be prisons. Legally the government is supposed to send them to stay with families within 72 hours, but it can't keep up.

Half of surveyed Republicans say it is very important to prosecute the people that attacked the Capitol.

It would be interesting to know whether the Republicans who want to prosecute are the ones that believe the attackers were Antifa.

The House passed a bill, the PRO Act, which would give gig workers the right to organize unions. But that's all it would do for them.

In my view, it's a step forward but not enough.

The British Army proposes that soldiers will communicate and get information via mobile phones running Android.

The article doesn't say whose phone network the soldiers would use, or how they would stop it from triangulating on each of them — nor how they would stop the enemy from getting their locations by cracking the phone network.

I recall this sort of thing vaguely from the US, where officials said that the army can save money by being smaller and yet be stronger by using high-tech systems. I think the high-tech systems ate up more money than the savings.
