@AmericanAir - hold AA703 in Charlotte to allow passengers to make the connection. The delay for connectors coming into Charlotte is not flyers fault. Check your passenger manifests.
I just left Minneapolis, where I was honored to meet with a number of grieving famlies and hear about their beautiful children--in particular Harper (10) and Fletcher (8), who died in the Annunciation school shooting. I also met another beautiful girl who is recovering well, thank God. We discussed a lot, but all the families had a couple of immediate requests:
First, to pray for Sophia, who continues to fight for her life every day. Pray for her health, pray for her swelling to be controlled, and pray for strength for her parents, doctors, and nurses.
Second, don't give the shooter the attention, but focus on the kids who were taken from us. I learned that Harper had a smile that could light up the room, that she loved visiting the national parks with her parents, and that she looked beautiful in her first communion gown. I learned that Fletcher was rambunctious and energetic, that he loved football and basketball, and that he had an amazing head of hair.
Yes, they were taken from their families far too soon. But in their short lives they made a big mark on the many people who loved them. Let's give them the attention they deserve.
BREAKING: @SherrodBrown has decided to run for U.S. Senate in 2026 against Republican @JonHusted, ending months of speculation about his political plans https://t.co/n4QN1GwPeZ
We could get the president’s nominations done right now. I’m disappointed my Democratic colleagues are obstructing the process at every turn and thwarting the will of the American people. This is unprecedented behavior.
I’ll stay in Washington to get this done if necessary—it’s our job.
