The U.S. Army has now identified the Second Pilot of the H-60 “Black Hawk” Helicopter that collided with a CRJ-700 Passenger Jet on Wednesday at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, resulting in 67 Deaths, as Captain Rebecca M. Lobach from Durham, North Carolina.

@USARMY releases the name of the third Black Hawk crew member in this week’s devastating collision with the American Airlines Jet: Rebecca M. Lobach, of Durham, North Carolina. And a rare, heartbroken statement from her family.

Any Senator who votes against @TulsiGabbard for DNI isn’t just going to have a problem with MAGA and Trump - I will make it my personal mission to help campaign and fundraise against you in your next election.

And my people are probably a lot like their people.

Tel Aviv tonight. Thousands of people have gathered in Hostage Square to call for the release of the remaining 79 hostages.

All three men released today described enduring harsh conditions while in captivity.

Keith Siegel was initially held in tunnels and later moved between homes. Terrorists locked him in rooms to keep him hidden, and food was extremely scarce.

Ofer Calderon and Yarden Bibas recounted that they were held together in the early days of their captivity. The terrorists beat them, caged them, and subjected them to physical and psychological abuse. They were frequently moved, held both underground and in buildings, sometimes alongside other hostages. https://x.com/avivaklompas/status/1885772345593274823?s=46

Great day for a snowy walk with Thunder!

BREAKING: President Donald Trump has fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Rohit Chopra, in the latest purge of a Biden administration holdover. https://t.co/50P0sgDvv5

I can't speak for the administration on anything, and I don't have any formal role,” says the tech legend Marc Andreessen about advising Donald Trump. "I describe myself as the unpaid intern, which is itself probably a stretch. But… I'm trying to help as much as I can ... from the outside … helping to find people who want to go in.” @pmarca #TRUMP @2waytvapp https://x.com/2waytvapp/status/1885575471309455489?s=46

Despite hailing from the San Francisco area, Kamala Harris was no friend to Silicon Valley, says tech legend Marc Andreessen. “She changed her positions a lot between, famously, 2019 and 2024 … Her administration was just very brutal, like they came at us hammer and tongs, trying to cause us as much damage as they could.” #KamalaHarris @pmarca https://x.com/2waytvapp/status/1885580503350153676?s=46

After Joe Biden became president and Donald Trump was, post January 6, deeply unpopular and largely written off, many conservatives claimed they were “de-banked” —  blocked from opening accounts at major American banking institutions. Melania Trump even wrote about it. “She says in the book that she and Barron both got de-banked after Trump left office,” says the tech legend Marc Andreessen. “I think they just happened to be family members.” @pmarca @MarkHalperin

“I describe myself as the unpaid intern, which itself is probably a stretch,” says Marc Andreessen about his role advising Donald Trump and his team, mostly on personnel. The legendary tech entrepreneur has a different, less public role than that of what he calls “the DOGE cohort, with Elon and his crew.” Check out this fascinating, hour-long conversation Marc had with @MarkHalperin and the 2WAY community. @2waytvapp @pmarca #TRUMP
