The morning rush is over! We’re expecting normal lines for the rest of the day & if anything changes, we’ll be sure to share here. For tomorrow, about 32,000 people will fly out, which isn’t record-breaking busy but that’s busier-than-normal for a Tuesday.

Good morning, travelers. Here is a 4:30 am view of the general security line for Checkpoint 1. We’re expecting a record-breaking volume of people — there are about 38k of you flying out today. Please arrive at least 2.5 hours prior to your flight’s departure for domestic.

TRAFFIC ALERT: A small plane has landed on US 290 west of Oak Hill. Law enforcement is on scene and providing traffic control. Expect delays. #atxtraffic

Following the March 1 tragedy downtown, several of my colleagues and I sent a letter to Waymo regarding reports that an autonomous vehicle obstructed first responders. In emergencies, every second matters. We’ve invited Waymo to meet with Council committees to discuss solutions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — James Talarico wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Texas primary election. #APRaceCall at 2:37 a.m. EST. apnews.com/projects/elect…

On @VoteHub’s site, you can see our results in detail. Here’s a story of two campuses in Houston: Rice (Talarico +92) and Texas Southern (Crockett +75).

Our campus community is invited to come together for a candlelight vigil hosted by Student Government, for a moment of remembrance, solidarity and reflection. Wednesday, March 4 7 - 8 p.m. Main Mall Campus resources will be available for students. All are welcome 🧡

Savitha was one of our superstar students at the UT Austin McCombs school of business - she was set to graduate this May, and then she was on to start her career at a big professional services firm. She was a double major with honors. Involved in student organizations - a light in the classroom. Absolutely crushing to lose her. That location on 6th Street is pretty far west of Congress (toward Lamar), and considered safe by our students. Really no words to express the wave of sadness rolling over @UTexasMcCombs and @UTAustin. Other students are still in the hospital in very serious conditions - this is a very tough week for our community, the families, and #ATX in general. Thanks for releasing this information.

Today it was confirmed that among those who lost their lives is one UT student. This is devastating, and we will remember her. Also, a number of our students sustained injuries during the attack, some of them very serious. I have met with many of their families and will continue to support and pray for them. In moments like this, we show our strength by coming together. Longhorns always look out for Longhorns. We lift each other up when we need it most. Now is one of those times. president.utexas.edu/message/walkin…

in case you only watched the West Sixth Street press conference — the ages of vics were wrong. APD has corrected them

@nainazaara @justindoud_ Amazing reporting!! WTG

A week ago, I texted @justindoud_ a Stanford Daily tweet about the Epstein files. Within hours, he found a UT story. Today — after many hours of research and reporting — that story is out. thedailytexan.com/2026/02/10/for…

@lauraisensee @FBugenhagen_ @statesman Absolutely!! Congrats, Faith, you’ll love Austin too. Let’s connect once you’re settled!

@FBugenhagen_ @statesman @EvaRuth someone you should bring on City Cast Austin!!!

Some news: I'll be leaving Houston at the end of the month for the first time in four years to join @statesman 's Breaking News team 📰🗞️ I'm beyond grateful, but I would be remiss to say that I wasn't ready to leave Houston—I can't underscore how much I'm going to miss it 🏙️🤍

NEW: An Austin jury has found the Texas Department of Public Safety liable for racial harassment of two of its officers and awarded them nearly $1.7 million in damages. houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…

Sad to hear that an unhoused Austinite died overnight, presumably of hypothermia. No more precip is expected but temperatures will stay low and frozen til Tuesday afternoon, so roads will continue to be a mess. AISD and UT are closed tomorrow. Stay safe and stay home, #atx
