Police arrested the woman, Zoe Buhler, at her home in Miners Rest near Ballarat on Wednesday after she created a "freedom day" event on Facebook calling for people to protest against the Victorian government's lockdown measures. "As some of you may have seen the government has gone to extreme measures and are using scare tactics through the media to prevent the Melbourne protest," the now-deleted event description read.

The journey just got a bit easier, however, thanks to a freshly published NASA invention. The agency's patent doesn't cover a new piece of equipment or lines of code, but a trajectory — a route designed to save a lunar-bound mission time, fuel, and money and boost its scientific value. Some see age-old playbook in new Tennessee protest law https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/age-playbook-tennessee-protest-law-72731204 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee now leads the nation in criminalizing common protest tactics, with penalties including the denial of voting rights for pitching a tent on the Capitol grounds. But outrage over racial injustice isn't going away, and civil rights advocates say the law was pulled from an age-old playbook that hasn't stood up to history. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

The Trump administration said on Tuesday that it will ban evictions of tenants who are unable to pay rent because of the coronavirus crisis through the end of the year with a broad new order under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's public health powers. The agency order, the result of an Aug. 8 executive action by President Donald Trump directing the CDC to study the issue, would impose criminal penalties on landlords who violate the ban. Evictions for reasons other than nonpayment of rent will be allowed to proceed.
