A friend's sister and parents, fully documented and with work authorizations, were arrested by U.S. Border Patrol, yesterday. The parents have medical conditions and are now without their medications. Now in McAllen, they are not allowed any outside contact, not even with attorneys.

In 1968, Maybelle M. Fletcher (pictured) founded Fletcher Aviation at Houston’s Hobby Airport, which is where my mom (Fran Flanagan) learned to fly in the early 1970s. Maybelle flew her first solo flight in 1941 at the age of 16 and she founded her first flying school in 1945 at the age of 21.

People who seem to grieve Charlie Kirk's death but who never once complained about slaughter of children in Gaza by Netanyahu's government, are being performative and they're not genuinely complaining about an act of murder, they're complaining about their politics of hatred being attacked.

Both Democracy Docket and the Washington Post have new stories today about the fight over Texas redistricting. DD is focusing on the GOP weaponizing government. WaPo thinks it is Democrats who are taking a "risk gambit" to fight back.

My 4-year-old overheard me telling my sibling, “America’s in big trouble.” Later he said, “America needs to not break stuff and use its inside voice.” Chaos solved with preschool logic. Proud Dad here.
