Study this… See if you can make sense of it. A flight from Dulles to DCA (flight time less than 15 min) delayed hours on the tarmac. Don’t ask how it happened.

Hey @americanair.bsky.social. Do you have any comment on the #Flight1609 hostage situation at Dulles for the article I am writing about this episode for #DogShirtDaily?

Despite promises of imminent hostage release, @americanair.bsky.social continues to hold #Flight1609 hostages on the tarmac at Dulles. Promises of release have so far proven empty.

We are told that all of the hostages will be released shortly. I am looking forward to seeing my family again.

Do you think FBI Director Patel would produce our record?

Hey @AmericanAir! The situation on Flight 1609, currently grounded on the tarmac at Dulles, is coming perilously close to wrongful imprisonment and kidnapping. If you don’t let us out, I might have to file a habeas corpus action.

The machinery of federal law enforcement, step by step, is being turned over to fanatical Trump supporters whose north star is service to him, not facts and the law, while professionals are forced out. This is happening with the support of the acquiescence of Senate Republicans.

On Lawfare Daily, @benjaminwittes.bsky.social spoke to Eric Ciaramella about the wild week in Ukraine politics, with inconsistent speeches from American officials, JD Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference, and domestic politics in Ukraine are getting worrisome.

If we don’t turn up for this, the administration will think it can betray Ukraine without political backlash. Be there.
