A Gulfstream 5 left Harlingen airport at 11:57am with a LADD (limited aircraft data displayed) designation and is now over the Atlantic. No destination filed. Registered to Tannjets Aerospace in FL. Little info, but this is THE SAME PLANE (N588AT) that got Brittney Griner in 2022 prisoner swap.

I was worried when I saw the "AEW Collision" trending as a topic, afraid there had been an aerial collision. Turns out nope, it's some wrestling thing #relieved

Today Republicans blocked our bill to hold the Trump Admin and the government of El Salvador accountable for their conspiracy to violate due process rights of people living in the U.S. This isn't just about Mr. Abrego Garcia — this is about defending the rights of ALL. Shameful.

Wondering what all this talk about Rule IX is about? 🤔 ...you're not alone! The House has confusing rules. Rule IX of the House of Representatives allows any individual member to force a vote on impeachment, even without approval from House leadership. More about Rule IX on our website 👇

The answer to this is yes, and it's one of my favorite bits of trivia: the longest-reigning monarch in Asian history (Bhumibol Adulyadej/Rama IX of Thailand) was a U.S. citizen.

Citizens’ Impeachment has long held that if just 5% of Americans contacted their members of Congress about impeachment, it would be the largest collective action of its kind in American history. It would almost certainly lead to his removal from office. Advocate for impeachment in five minutes:

This starts out cool ("Oh, hey, a failed Venus lander will reenter Earth's atmosphere! Cool!"). Then it gets ominous ("uhh, it may survive reentry and hit the surface -- we don't know where"). A real rollercoaster of exploration emotions! #planetaryscience www.space.com/space-explor...

Read it: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... Share it. People need to know. Thank @shrithanedar.bsky.social , @robinkelly.house.gov, @nadler.house.gov, and @repkweisimfume.bsky.social for their leadership. Then, call your own Representative and tell them to support these Articles of Impeachment.

My ancestors crossed the Atlantic three centuries ago and I am an American in the exact same way as the infant child of undocumented immigrants born here yesterday. There is no difference between us, their right to this country no less than mine. We are entirely equal and I will accept nothing else.
