Former Biden Admin @usdot. Former Govt Rel @pewtrusts. Former @dnc. Former Obama Admin @DHSgov. I love popcorn and the Oxford comma.

@eliseannallen @Pontifex See @elmo this how you do it. Prevost is also probably for the Knicks.

If climate change had a museum, what would be inside? A sky turned orange by wildfire smoke? A neighborhood changed by flooding? The Museum of Unnatural Disasters answers that question. Visit 6/3–14 in Constitution Gardens East End Plaza @ Constitution Ave & 17th St NW.

@coreylee_9 What are you reading?

@mattadler81 You apologized when I told you I followed you on Twitter that night at Caruso’s!

Paul McCartney on playing the last Cobert show on CBS: "It's magical when you realize the space you're standing in was the same space those four boys stood in, and now here we are. It's like -- wow. We did okay."

Oh no! What does this mean for @MatthewCappucci’s classic “well gang” greeting before he does the forecast. I hope he keeps it.

Capital Weather Gang, the weather blog that has been a part of the Washington Post for almost 20 years, is becoming an independent site and rebranding as Capital Weather.

Per a note to WaPo staff today, the site will still contribute to WaPo during major weather events.

One point airline officials are making to administration: “Newark airport accounts for almost $100 million a day in imports, primarily medicine and
pharmaceuticals to US citizens” https://t.co/WBr9jM7oSJ

[David Shepardson @davidshepardson]

Data being shared by airlines with administration/lawmakers on impact of potential Newark international air shutdown per memo seen by @Reuters: “There is no capacity at other Northeast airports to handle Newark’s international flights due to airports already being slot controlled. They already operate at max capacity due to on-going ATC staffing shortages and safety mitigation controls” https://t.co/lVzDqLrYCg

@davidshepardson @FAA_Bryan Got to love admin officials litigating interagency disputes through public statements. In any rational White House, the NSC or NEC would settle this in deputies/principals meetings. Having worked at @DHSgov and @USDOT, the @FAANews Administrator is 110% right.

[David Shepardson @davidshepardson]

.@FAA_Bryan makes the point that a wholesale shift of international flights to new airports would be challenging: "There'll be very limited opportunities to move international flights from one airport to another at this point."

[David Shepardson @davidshepardson]

.@RepRickLarsen @NelliePou call idea of halting international air traffic at some US airports “nuts” https://t.co/WBr9jM7oSJ

@JoshuaBarzon The vacation sponsors are going to lose a lot of money on me in Region D as it contains Switzerland, one of Europe’s most expensive countries.

The U.S. Travel Association: "Removing U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers from Newark Liberty International Airport or other international airports ...would impact more Americans traveling home from abroad than international visitors."

@dunisayno Like Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli. Seriously? I didn’t even know they were still alive.

@treeaston As the staff director for the @TheDemocrats rules and bylaws committee during the 2008 primary process and delegate race between Obama and Clinton I have the battle scars from what happened when Florida and Michigan violated the DNC calendar. And maybe a little PTSD.

The most important 2028 related thing happening today.

[Phil McNamara @philindc]

Airline in flight entrainment consules and European tour guides are keeping the old school wired earphone industry in business.

@billyez2 Such a great read. Thanks for flagging.

@davibroui There are always so many gay people in Palm Springs regardless of the weekend. It’s a really gay city year round.
