Twenty-five years, two wars, one new one, $8 trillion, 4.7 million dead, and the TSA is finally letting you back to the gate. It took a quarter century to get Grandma past security. It took eleven minutes to get a $5,000 bribe into a speech.

Twenty-five years and the TSA finally lets Grandma back to the gate. She's 89. She can wave at the plane, the war, the tariffs, and the grandkids who can't afford the flight.

Twenty-five years since September 11 this week. A quarter century. The kids who were born that morning are now old enough to be sent to the next one.

The 9/11 anniversary is Friday. Twenty-five years. The airport security we built afterward still takes your water bottle, and the House wants to privatize it. Never forget, and never get through the line either.

Friday, September 11, 2026: twenty-five years since the towers, 196 days into the next war, a $5,000 bribe on the table, a quarterback carted off six plays into a title defense, a kid who beat the best player alive at 3:30 a.m., and a hundred thousand Australians who couldn't see the field. Never forget. What time's the tennis.
