Excellent reporting by @KUTnathan, who consistently presses for transparency from a federal agency doing too little, too late to protect public safety. I'll continue to forcefully advocate that the FAA do better by providing Austin the air traffic controllers and support we.
EXCLUSIVE: The Federal Aviation Administration is denying a request to upgrade Austin's airspace to the same level surrounding the nation's busiest airports.

texas senate republicans overnight blocked a democratic filibuster attempt of the congressional map and sent it to gov abbott:

In Austin, diversity is our strength – economically, culturally, and in making this a more pleasant place to call home. But Trump is a racist, pure and simple!. He’s undermining the diversity strength of America and attempting to rewrite history.

Using the full power of the federal government, President Trump has promoted a vision of America that challenges the legitimacy of the Black experience.

As Putin kills more and more Ukrainian civilians each day, these U.S.-based oil companies have blood on their hands by helping to finance ongoing death and destruction. The Trump Administration talks of sanctions but practices appeasement and appears to be doing nothing about.

SpaceX, the company owned by Elon Musk, relies on federal taxpayer-funded contracts for 84% of its revenue; in 2020-2021, it reported only $6,000 in income taxes. Pretty sweet deal for a company valued at $350B made possible by a Trump/GOP tax bill.

This anti-immigrant policy weaponizes the federal gov against hardworking immigrants who pay taxes, even though they're ineligible for many benefits taxes finance. The GOP is striking fear into communities and disincentivizing contributions of immigrants.

Not having the 2028 election, as Trump mused in a meeting with Ukraine President Zelensky, is no joke. Nor is it a joke that Trump is attempting to rig the 2026 election now with crooked mid-decade redistricting maps, through executive orders designed to limit mail-in ballots,.
The remark came as Ukrainian President Zelenskyy explained how his country has not been able to hold elections since Russia's invasion.
