Fun fact: the airport is named for Jack Brooks, once the House Judiciary chair, a blue dog Democrat who sponsored the bill with the assault weapon ban and as a result was the most senior House member defeated in the 1994 Republican takeover. Steve Stockman won the seat. — PolitiTweet.org

Now we’re delayed until - at least - 7! If it weren’t likely a federal crime, I would start looking for someone in Nederland to toss me a bottle of water over the fence to the tarmac and I would run out and grab it. — PolitiTweet.org

@MrJoshPerry And not a two hour Houston drive. I hadn’t flown through here since I was a kid and it was really easy coming in. — PolitiTweet.org

Ginger Gibson @GingerGibson

Also it’s like 80 degrees in here. I’ve got serious mask sweat. We’re over two hours delayed now. — PolitiTweet.org

@MrJoshPerry The one and only Jack Brooks not-international Airport. — PolitiTweet.org

All packed up and ready to board, plane at the gate — and they announce another delay! — PolitiTweet.org

Did I bring my toddler toys? And a tablet? And snacks? Yes. Is she playing with them? No. Because she found some tags someone left in the abandoned gate stand and they’re way cooler. https://t.co/5NT9joLz9r — PolitiTweet.org

Did I just change my screaming toddlers diaper on the floor of the “terminal” behind an abandoned gate stand because the airport hasn’t thought to install a changing table in their lone bathroom? Yup I did. — PolitiTweet.org

@DonnyFerguson That makes a lot more sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Ginger Gibson @GingerGibson

I should add that the @AmericanAir staff were super nice. Even got my checked bags retagged so I would be able to get them for my new overnight layover. But the snack cart hadn’t been updated since covid. — PolitiTweet.org

@DonnyFerguson Is the bottom on the first one Tracy Byrd? I think it is. — PolitiTweet.org

For @DonnyFerguson, our murals of people from this area are nice. 2/3 musicians and 1/3 sports. https://t.co/kxqQfjpzaj — PolitiTweet.org

@DonnyFerguson There is a football player on the mural but I don’t know who he is. — PolitiTweet.org

Ginger Gibson @GingerGibson

Did I mention I am the person everyone in the entire (one room) airport hates because my 12-month old keeps shrieking at the top of her lungs at a pitch that has been known to make our dog cower? Yup. That’s me. — PolitiTweet.org

This tiny airport has exactly 1 vending machine after you pass TSA and is $2 a soda and only accepts $1. We have a single $1 and four $5s. The machine that takes credit cards is on the other side of security. But I can’t go buy one and down it because TSA closed. 40 minutes ago. — PolitiTweet.org

You know what you didn’t miss during the pandemic? Tweets complaining about airline travel delays. But get excited folks: I’m vaccinated and stuck in a one-gate airport in Texas, where 4 of the other 13 people waiting are refusing to wear a mask. This will be a thread. https://t.co/cPDx7US6UJ — PolitiTweet.org

@JayCaruso @ellencarmichael Would work on me, to be honest. — PolitiTweet.org

Ginger Gibson @GingerGibson

@JayCaruso @ellencarmichael I googled to verify and this is what the inter webs tell me: “Chili's "Quesadilla Explosion" salad is worse for you than a Big Mac with fries and a Coca-Cola. The salad contains 1,430 calories, according to nutritional data from the company.” There should be a prize for this. — PolitiTweet.org

Ginger Gibson @GingerGibson

@JayCaruso @ellencarmichael Chili’s. Margs and skillet queso. And the quesadilla explosion salad, if you’ve got 2,000 calories to spare. — PolitiTweet.org

Did you think the 2020 Iowa caucus was a mess? Virginia Republicans may be trying to one up them. https://t.co/RgXexETAVd — PolitiTweet.org

Ginger Gibson @GingerGibson

First, the state GOP decided to hold their own convention. Then they made a form that required participants include their state voter ID # and signature. Then they accepted a bunch of applications with those fields blank. And now, Virginia Republicans are at odds over it. — PolitiTweet.org
