@WarbirdsNews Someone did that with the "City of Ft. Worth" that used to be on display at Greater Southwest International Airport in Ft. Worth. Flew it off somewhere.

@drjmaj @WarbirdsNews The airport was Ft. Worth’s Great Southwest, meant to compete with Dallas’ Love Field. The north end of its main runway is on DFW property.

@WarbirdsNews I'll assume this is a joke. Anyway, when I was a kid... the last B-36 was put on display at a defunct(?) airport in DFW. I have great memories of roaming around the insides which were open to the public.

@bonchieredstate Cut up suggests something more violent than really happens. I remember seeing Air Force One in pieces on the top of the hill at the Reagan Presidential Library. They unbolt and bolt back together.

@bonchieredstate The one at Pima is the City of Fort Worth. All the B-36s were built in Ft. Worth. This one was restored by the factory workers. It was sent to Pima when FW did not raise money to build a place to preserve it. If any of the 4 surviving planes can fly, it’s this one.

@micsolana @bdomenech It’s because she doesn’t understand how to make a legal argument (like a preschooler doesn’t know how to make a joke with a meaningful punch line). I know this is hard to believe, but we once had an associate from a top law school that had the same problem.

the most transparently partisan justice in any of our lives. this woman obviously has zero regard for the law, but her opinion of the court itself — that it should not even deserve the courtesy of dissent that *sounds* consistent or principled — is really shocking.
Eric W.@EWess92

Justice Jackson dissents. The opening line of her dissent is hard to reconcile with her dissent in Skrmetti. If States have absolute power to regulate medical treatment, why are anti-Christian bans on talk therapy OK but bans on experimental sex change surgeries for kids are not?

@CGasparino Goldman Sachs is building in Dallas for 5,000 employees. We also have Y’all Street. I hope NYC maintains its present course because it is great for DFW.

Earth or troll: JPM employs more people now in Texas than NY. SMH
AC 🇨🇦🇺🇸@mean_toe

@mmogenhan13 @damintoell @CGasparino You literally are retsrded! JPM just opened up a billion dollar headquarters in Manhattan that’ll employee 10,000 people and generate billions per year. You dumb ass hillbillies have no fucking idea what you’re talking about. NYC isn’t just a city it’s a fucking brand.

Reminder, civilian & non-law enforcement support staff for ICE & CBP have not been paid for half of the last 6 months when you factor in last fall’s 43 day shutdown on top of this one. These support staff are NOT paid via the OBBB and they are hurting badly w/ CBP & ICE unfunded
Bill Melugin@BillMelugin_

Some color on who is & isn't being paid in ICE & CBP via the One Big Beautiful Bill. Most of ICE & CBP are funded through 2029 via the OBBB and operations won't be impacted if they aren't funded through appropriations, for now. All frontline law enforcement is being paid. The ICE, Border Patrol, and CBP agents we see in the field are all getting paid via OBBB.  HOWEVER... their professional and civilian support staff are NOT being paid. These are people who work the computers, the public affairs offices, and other support staff who aren't on the front line making immigration arrests, but are supporting the agents who are. These civilian support staffers haven't been paid for almost half of the last six months when you factor in the prior shutdown last fall. They feel left behind - and feel they have no light at the end of the tunnel with this Senate bill leaving CBP & ICE unfunded through appropriations. They would have to hope GOP could take care of them in a future reconciliation bill, or that more funds could be moved around to pay them. These are some texts I've gotten from these staffers... CBP support employee:  "The senate bill paid TSA but thousands of CBP & ICE professional staff will not be paid.   The last paid work day for me was February 13.  Now senate on paid vacation until April 13 that is a guarantee for 2 months no pay.  Very likely we won’t be paid until May if Johnson lets the bill pass." ICE civilian employee: "I have a huge favor. When you guys report on the fact that ICE is funded through OB3 funds, can you please make it known that support staff (i.e. mission support, OPA, etc.) is NOT getting paid?" HSI civilian employee:   "We civilians are not getting paid, I'm working with my mom in the hospital and not getting paid. This is all so frustrating...sorry bill for venting!"

@Nwfey90 @jk_rowling That train left the station. See the International OlympicCommittee’s new policy barring transgender women - as determined by a chromosome test - from participating in women’s sports. She was right and you are wrong. We’ll be watching for your apology to her.

LMAOOOOO okay this is actually cute as hell — mum doing all the voices on the LNER train while the whole carriage pretends not to listen? Peak British chaos and I’m here for it ❤️ But let’s not pretend this is just wholesome nostalgia. The woman who created a world where kids learn to fight bigotry and stand up for the “freaks and weirdos” is the same one who spends her days on here telling half the population they’re delusional for existing. The irony is thicker than Hagrid’s accent. You wrote the books that millions still read to their kids… then turned around and made sure those same kids grow up knowing exactly where you stand on “biological reality.” So which is it, JK? Are we still playing “love and acceptance” or did the Sorting Hat finally put you in Slytherin for good? The replies are about to be absolute war again. Popcorn’s ready 🍿💀

If you're the mother who was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to your child on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh yesterday, one of my grown up children was listening and says you did the voices brilliantly❤️🥹

@RonDeSantis There’s a solution to all this confusion. Make it illegal to produce anything (text or video) with Ai without a standardized mark on the product. Couple that with hefty jail time for non-compliance and then start prosecuting.

@JoumannaTV @brithume So way too early to panic. We’re 3 weeks in and have 4 or 5 times longer to restore the flow of oil. Carry on.

More commentary from Energy industry leaders 👇🏼 TotalEnergies CEO at China Economy Forum: ``You have 10 million barrels of oil per day which cannot exit the Arab Gulf, and we cannot find oil elsewhere in the planet. If the conflict lasts 3- 4 months, we can swallow it. If it's more than 6 months, we will have some real impacts & all the economy of the world will be damaged.” x.com/Frontlinestory…

Can someone explain to me how a guy who was a Democrat until 2021 and shares very little ideologically with Trump suddenly became the face of "true MAGA?" Is MAGA just whatever the podcast circuit wants it to be?

@bonchieredstate I’m guessing the 50 Catholic priests they were sponsoring to join them largely declined?

@McCormickProf Perhaps the good Archbishop could call Cardinal Gerhard Müller and tell him what Catholics for Catholics is about and that it was shameful (at best) for him and other Catholic priests to be used to market the Catholic Prayer for America gala held yesterday.

A powerful testimony against "antisemitism and the lies and conspiracies that fuel it" by one of the Catholic Church's leading bishops, Archbishop Alexander Sample. He is faithfully and forcefully reasserting the teaching of the Church in the documents of the Second Vatican Council and the Catholic Catechism. Thank you Archbishop.
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops@USCCB

Catholics are called to reject antisemitism and the lies and conspiracies that fuel it, and to stand clearly against hatred and violence directed toward our Jewish brothers and sisters. To defend religious freedom with integrity, we must also reject antisemitism. @ArchbishpSample @archdpdx Watch the full video at: ow.ly/sYF550Yw6cA

@tecinv @JavierBlas You don’t marshall those tankers in the Red Sea weeks ahead of time at anchor based on a vague idea of timing. They are very valuable assets that move very valuable crude.

@phillindquist @JavierBlas There were negotiations and threats by Trump to intervene for the people in Iran, with an ultimatum. Maybe the exact date wasn't known publicly, but I believe the Saudis knew or had a vague idea what was going to happen from the US

Saudi Aramco is loading simultaneously 5 crude oil tankers in Yanbu and Al Mujjaiz terminals on the Red Sea coast. I don’t think that’s happened ever before.

@tecinv @JavierBlas I believe the start of hostilities was triggered by the gathering of 40 of Iran’s top leaders. I don’t believe that was widely known or known very far ahead of time.
