A new amendment could ban anyone who accepts federal highway funds from using automated license plate readers like Flock cameras for any purpose other than tolling. All members of Congress must support this needed privacy protection. Learn more from @dell.bsky.social at @wired.com
A Bipartisan Amendment Would End Police License Plate Tracking Nationwide
One line tucked into a federal highway bill would strip funds from cities and states unless they kill their automated plate tracking programs—effectively banning the tech for all but toll collection.

Just now, Dem Rep. Rick Larsen & other members of the House Transportation Committee voted to reject an amendment to block federal funds for states & cities that misuse automated license plate cameras for mass surveillance. It’s shameful to prioritize Flock’s profits over the American people.

📌Trump is a dangerous authoritarian who has weaponized OUR Dept. of Justice to go after people HE doesn't like. For the life of me, I can't understand why this isn't a bigger story.

If you’re wondering about GOP priorities… ICE is still getting paid during a shutdown because Republicans gave them $75 BILLION extra in the tax cuts for billionaires legislation that also: - Cut health care for millions - Added trillions to the debt - Left TSA unfunded
Both the problem — long airport lines caused by Trump’s opposition to funding TSA — and his response — stationing ICE agents at the airports — seem to have their origins in Fox segments he had been watching. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/tru...
Trump’s shambolic policy-making by Fox segment hits the airports

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state
ALERT: Professional news. Nine days after leaving CBS, I have found a new professional home: Chief Washington Correspondent and Anchor for @meidastouch.com
One party owns this shutdown. Democrats keep trying to fund TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and cyber security. Republicans have blocked every single vote.
Trump just said the quiet part out loud. He told Republicans to block a deal that would pay TSA agents, so he could force the SAVE Act through. I hope TSA workers realize Trump is holding their paychecks hostage.
Major mid-day update: ICE agents run from photographers at airports out of fears of being photographed. Trump rejects deal to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard—telling Republicans to tie the SAVE Act to TSA funding and to do it for Jesus. Supreme Court poised to gut mail in ballots.

Sending ICE agents who are being paid handsomely to the airport to stand around not helping TSA agents who aren’t being paid at all because of a dispute over paying ICE agents …it’s pretty diabolical.
