6. And now, "Trump admin rescinds plan to reduce private prison use"

The Trump administration is rolling back an Obama-era plan to phase out the federal government's use of private prisons.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions sent a memo Thursday to the Bureau of Prisons rescinding the Obama administration's Aug. 16 order advising the bureau not to renew any contracts with private prisons, according to a copy of the letter.

Then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates had instructed officials to either not renew private prison contracts or substantially reduce the scope of such contracts to ultimately end the department's use of privately operated prisons altogether.


In a brief memo Thursday, Sessions said Yates’s order "changed the long-standing policy and practice, and impaired the Bureau’s ability to meet the future needs of the federal correctional system."
“Therefore, I direct the Bureau to return to its previous approach,” he wrote.

Hmmm I wonder if those two things are related. And what happened to all the "States rights" Spicer went on and on about during the SAME briefing? States rights for transgendered kids, but not when it comes to recreational / harmless drugs? I don't smoke, but this angers me on so many levels. I'm especially angry at all the people who actually smoke weed who didn't bother to vote.
