N Concourse was K-poppin’ today! Travelers got a surprise performance from Andrew Choi — the singing voice of Jinu in @netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters — after he helped celebrate @AlaskaAir’s new nonstop flight to Seoul.

At approximately 8 p.m. Pacific on July 20, we experienced an IT outage that resulted in a temporary, system-wide ground stop for Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air flights. As of 11 p.m. Pacific, the ground stop has been lifted, and our operations have resumed. As we reposition our aircraft and crews, there will most likely be residual impacts to our flights. It will take some time to get our overall operations back to normal. We apologize for the inconvenience and encourage guests to check the status of your flight before leaving for the airport.

Thankful to everyone who joined me at the Port of Seattle today to discuss the impact Trump’s tariffs are having in WA. This trade war hurts workers, businesses, health care providers, & many others in our region.

2 in 5 jobs in our state are tied to trade, which puts our economy in a particularly vulnerable position in light of Trump's uncertain & evolving tariffs. @callananseattle hosts @WAStateCommerce, @SeattleChamber, @SamChoTweets to discuss impacts: youtu.be/OfWkLjj1d54

I'm announcing that the federal government will cover 100% of the cost of measures to protect lives and property in Southern California for six months. I’ve told the Governor and officials to spare no expense and do whatever they need to contain the fires and protect families.

Civilians helped South Korea parliament members to enter the national assembly... one of them had a yellow ribbon on their bag, a symbol to remember the 2014 Sewol ferry tragedy which happened due to the negligence of previous president Park Geun-hye...

Meeting voters where they are means exactly that, even if it means flying across the country to Georgia to mobilize Korean American voters for @KamalaHarris. 🧵
