The Maverick Act cleared the U.S. Senate, authorizing the Navy to transfer three retired F-14D Tomcats along with necessary spare parts to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Under the legislation, the aircraft are also eligible to be restored to flyable condition.
NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters today that Pope Leo XIV doesn't understand “something called the just war doctrine.”
Pope Leo is an Augustinian friar who spent twelve years leading Augustine’s religious order.
Augustine invented the doctrine. https://t.co/dMEjVtSx08
It’s time for an upgrade in retail energy.
Today we’re announcing Base Energy, bringing our low energy prices to all Texans who can choose their electricity provider.
When we started Base, we set out to deliver affordable, reliable power by building low-cost distributed power plants powered by modern technology and vertical integration.
Less than two years from our public launch, we’re adding more MW per month to the Texas grid than anyone. Now we’re able to share the benefits of that growing battery fleet with customers across Texas.
This is the first step in building the world’s largest energy retailer. We are just getting started.
Flashback to 2014: At that time @KenPaxtonTX circulated this letter among Texas House Republicans calling on Dan Branch to withdraw from the GOP runoff for Texas Attorney General, arguing a well-funded runoff would be nasty and divisive for the party #txlege

SCOOP: The unexpected airspace closure in El Paso stemmed from disagreements over drone-related tests, sources told @CBSNews. Pentagon had undertaken extensive planning on use of military tech near Fort Bliss. Two sources identified the technology as a high-energy laser.
Earlier this week, tech was used to shoot down what appeared to be foreign drones. The flying material turned out to be a party balloon, sources said. One balloon was shot down.
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford last night decided to close the airspace — without alerting White House, Pentagon or Homeland Security officials.
Bedford told officials the airspace restrictions would be in place to ensure safety until issues with the War Department could be resolved. @camiloreports@olivialarinaldi@ellee_watson and me:
