In all these recent court filings we’ve seen the Trump admin increasingly argue that - essentially - border security matters more than any concerns about the land, the environment, the region’s natural beauty, etc:

Trump admin has filed its reply to plaintiffs in the Big Bend border wall fight now before SCOTUS. SCOTUS could essentially decide on whether to let construction resume at any moment: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/2…

The rain has ended just in time for trick or treating this evening. It will be cloudy with seasonal temperatures in the 60s this evening. Be aware that patchy fog may develop late in the evening. #txwx #nmwx

The Big Bend border wall has been paused by court order since early October. But @MarfaRadio found out CBP quietly paused part of the project even before that, amid struggles to get private land access and a contractor's push for more money. From @mkcant: marfapublicradio.org/border-…

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected today, mainly in SE New Mexico and portions of far west Texas. Cloud cover will help limit storm coverage and severity, but a couple may still become strong to marginally severe. #txwx #nmwx

A new report by the Houston Advanced Research Center warns that Texas' air quality progress could be reversed by the end of the decade, especially if facilities use natural gas power. bit.ly/4sn7XkE

Unless you're along the New Mexico state line, if you were hoping for big rains, chances don't look too promising. This chart shows the probability of receiving a quarter inch or more on Sunday #lubwx

Just in: Big Bend area border wall construction remains blocked. Trump admin asked a judge to lift her earlier block on construction - she said no. The government has threatened to try and take the case to SCOTUS - so now we'll see if that happens: storage.courtlistener.com/re…

Texas county officials said they learned Thursday about another state error that has backlogged thousands of voter registration records. The total number of backlogged records wasn’t immediately available, but the secretary of state’s office told election officials that not all counties were impacted. bit.ly/4hQS7v6
