The government does not track how often immigration agents hold Americans. So ProPublica did.
We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Workers at a Volkswagen factory in Tennessee voted solidly to unionize with the UAW, after twice in the past voting down the #union.
This time, they may have noticed that union workers won higher pay and better benefits from US automakers in their strike last year.

Forcing a Chinese company to sell TikTok won’t solve the biggest problem with #TikTok: the fact that so people get their “#news” from platforms that are designed to hijack attention for commercial gain, not to deliver reliable information.

And American-owned Facebook and X have shown themselves to be as bad or worse as TikTok at spreading #misinformation.
