U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., who chairs the House Committee on Education and Labor, alleged Tuesday on NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” that the protests are being funded and organized by outsiders. “It’s obvious that someone is funding them,” Foxx said. “They were well prepared.” (x)

“Why is everybody’s tent the same?” Mayor Eric Adams asked at a press conference Tuesday. “Was there a fire sale on those tents? There’s some organizing going on.

The same place, the same person? Somebody is behind this, and we’re gonna find out who it is.” On social media, many users supplied links to a $15 pop-up tent sold online by discount store Five Below. “Looks like what we’ve got on our hands is a classic case of college students buying something cheap and disposable,” the Hell Gate story added.

A day with the cranes.

Sandhill cranes / grulla gris (Antigone canadensis) at Whitewater Draw, Cochise County, Arizona.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department estimates that the overwintering population in the county is about 42,000 cranes this year, with most of the birds occupying Willcox Playa, and only about 13,000 at the draw.
