When you start banning journalists for doing journalism, it's the beginning of the end for me. Find me elsewhere. I want to stay in touch:

The last time Kansas elected a Democratic Senator, Herbert Hoover was president, Babe Ruth was playing for the Yankees, and Elvis hadn’t been born.

Hearing just one key facility in Farmington, MN (dubbed ZMP) is down - not at the airport itself.

Sounds like network issues, causing trouble for early voting in the South metro as well.

JUST IN: All flights in and out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport are halted Thursday afternoon due to apparent air traffic control system issues, the FAA says. https://t.co/Y6PXAgOylw

@CheyCab I waited nearly 2 hours for bags in July on a generally cloudless Sunday. The fall off in reliability is readily apparent.

My words on @IRE_NICAR naming @JKealing as its next executive director: “His extensive background in nonprofit journalism and commitment to collaboration make him the ideal leader for IRE.

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card.

FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium with his one-game red-card ban suspended. Multiple FIFA officials previously said that a team cannot appeal a red card or suspension. https://t.co/kBYEyot5tk

[Jonathan Kealing @JKealing]

@AlexHollings52 That's an interesting list to be making.

[Jonathan Kealing @JKealing]

@AlexHollings52 Is that inclusive of as far back as WWII as well?

[Jonathan Kealing @JKealing]

@kpottermn @Mike_Villafana @mspairport Yeah, it may be in the G8-G12 area. Hard to know for sure with the limited description provided.

[Jonathan Kealing @JKealing]

@Mike_Villafana @kpottermn @mspairport This new lounge is supposed to be more on top of G1-G6 area, not down by the newer G SkyClub.

[Jonathan Kealing @JKealing]

[Jonathan Kealing @JKealing]

The promised @Delta One Lounge at @mspairport is moving one step closer to reality. The airport has identified a 20k square foot space above the G Concourse for a location and is about to spend $1 million to evaluate its structural soundness and build out costs. cc @kpottermn

[Jonathan Kealing @JKealing]

@plattMSP @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn Yeah, I don’t think the big growth plans are at all likely. But I do think some of the older structures will wind up being addressed.

[Jonathan Kealing @JKealing]

@plattMSP @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn It’s all spelled out in their airport plan. It certainly may not turn out this way, but it at least gives an idea of the issues and when they might need to be addressed: https://t.co/0zZbaDz5OI
