NEW: Dallas-based @SouthwestAir is breaking with its 50-year tradition of open seating and will start assigning seats, according to a statement today.
That not-so-settling feeling when passengers are paged by name to ring their call light before takeoff, apparently refuse to do so, and all passengers are asked to show IDs. #ABIA
Biden makes stunning decision to pull out of 2024 race, via thee @PatrickSvitek, in part washingtonpost.com/politics/…
Very sorry to hear, Davis. You did amazing work with The Texas Tribune among several others.
Any investigative news unit would be lucky to have you on their team.
I was laid off today by @MilitaryTimes while on military leave. Five editorial colleagues are gone as well. According to the company lawyer, our positions are eliminated.
I — and @SightlineUnion — will have much more to say later.
But I want to say a few things now.
After a 3.5hr flight, landed 45mins ago and still on an @AUStinAirport tarmac waiting for broken down equipment in the path to the gate to be moved. Admittedly, don’t get how it all works, but I guess backing up and pulling into another gate is not an option. Longest day ever…

Our top story at the Mississippi Free Press today: "Trump Encourages Russia to Attack American Allies: ‘Do Whatever the Hell They Want’"
We may be a local Mississippi outlet, but this is important. It should be leading every newspaper in the country.

Can say I knew you when…Many great memories covering the Texans running for POTUS, capturing your #txlege expertise for Under the Dome and more.
Congrats, Patrick! Well deserved.
Some news about me: I'm excited to announce I’m joining @WashingtonPost after nine incredible years at @TexasTribune. I’ll start next month at The Post as national politics breaking news reporter: washingtonpost.com/pr/2024/0…
Amazing news, Donna! Congrats to @MSFreePress 🎉

My @INN colleague @SamCholke telling the truth about a major risk heading into 2024 in his @NiemanLab prediction:
“It is very possible to have a very active and yet poorly informed electorate.”

UPDATE: Texas Supreme Court blocks order allowing abortion; woman who sought it leaves state before justices ruled:
“Some difficulties in pregnancy, however, even serious ones, do not pose the heightened risks to the mother the exception encompasses.”
texastribune.org/2023/12/11/…
After the state’s high court halts historic abortion ruling, Kate Cox leaves TX to end her non-viable pregnancy.
And -per her lawyers- while she waited on judges to make medical decisions, Cox’s condition was deteriorating; she was in and out of the ER. texastribune.org/2023/12/11/…
As Gov. Abbott continues pushing school choice in #txlege, a cautionary tale perhaps from @TucsonSentinel in AZ where families got public $$ for private schools thru its new universal school choice prgm. Then private schools raised tuition.

New Mexico has a severe healthcare worker shortage, esp in rural areas where a 1/3 of its people live. The lege invested $$ to close the gap, but advocates say it fell short.
