Americans deserve robust competition & affordable airfares. USDOT supports DOJ's antitrust lawsuit, & we plan to deny the JetBlue-Spirit request for an exemption on their merger deal. We will continue with our own investigation while supporting DOJ's work. transportation.gov/briefing-room/…
So a federal count just blocked a merger between JetBlue and Spirit Air, at the request of the Biden Administration. Give me 3 minutes to explain why this is such a big deal, and why it's part of a bigger strategy to finally return power to regular people.
I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…
Americans have seen their insurance premiums climb up and up and up. Families can’t afford yet another jacked up cost in Trump’s economy. A new report shows just how deep the problem is – and how the insurance industry is part of the problem.

Just in case anyone is interested. Mickey McCoy @Michael_McCoyy was by our observation completely trusted by Charlie Kirk. We observed this over several years. If there was one current executive employee and friend, far above all others, in the Turning Point orbit, at the time of his death, that Charlie trusted it was Mikey McCoy. They were very close. This may be the moment to consider that. This is true.
LA Mayor Karen Bass: Well, honestly, before this, I had never heard of Spencer Pratt. But the thing I am concerned about is that I feel like he’s exploiting the grief of people in the Palisades. And I think that’s reprehensible.
Senator Sanders. You are doubling down. After yesterday. AFTER getting lit up with more than FOUR TIMES your views and nearly FIVE TIMES your likes on my response... you walked right back out on stage in PARMA HEIGHTS, OHIO and did it again. I think I deserve a reply. I genuinely do. But I understand — you have only helped one person climb out of poverty in your entire career, and I am trying to figure out who that is... actually, now that I think about it, there WAS one man you helped escape the gutter. Some fellow who wandered onto a Vermont commune in 1971, refused to do any actual work, got himself kicked out after 72 hours, and spent the next five decades accumulating a net worth between $2.5 and $3 million, three homes, and $550,000 in annual private jet receipts while telling everyone else the system is rigged. I think his name was Bernie too. Funny coincidence. Now. PARMA HEIGHTS. I live in Northeast Ohio. I know this community. The median household income there is $61,009 — which is BELOW the state average and significantly below the national average. The poverty rate is 13.9 percent. These are real people with real financial pressure who showed up to Valley Forge High School on a Friday night because someone told them a United States Senator was coming to fight for them. And who showed up to fight for them? A man who will not fly commercial because — and again, I am quoting him verbatim because no insult I could write does justice to his own words — "You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?" A man with a $575,000 lake house in Vermont. A man who, in 35 years in Congress, passed eight bills. Named two post offices. Averaged 0.23 pieces of legislation per year. And is now asking Parma Heights — a working-class Cleveland suburb where people earn $37,555 per capita — to send him MORE allies to Washington so he can continue this extraordinary record of productivity. The blatherskite stood in that gymnasium in front of people who cannot afford what he charges per HOUR on a private jet... and told them HE is their champion against the billionaire class. That is not courage, Senator. That is not fighting for the working class. That is walking into a room full of people who earn less than your MONTHLY jet travel costs and telling them you feel their pain. If ignorance is bliss, you must be the most serene man alive. You know what I kept thinking about? The rally rules said no signs, no flags, no weapons, no chairs, no bags larger than a fanny pack. You know what was NOT on that list? A $15,000-per-hour aircraft. That apparently was fine. "Fighting oligarchy." I genuinely cannot decide if this is courage or if the belt just does not go through all the loops anymore. Quick question — and I ask this as a science teacher who grades logic problems for a living — when the billionaires you are fighting LOSE their money... how exactly are you getting to the NEXT rally? You told us commercial flight is beneath you. So what is the plan? Because Parma Heights is only 25 minutes from Cleveland Hopkins. I make that drive on a teacher's salary. Just saying. Quinn's Law Number Two does not take Saturdays off: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing." The man screaming about oligarchs owns more real estate than most of the people in that gymnasium will ever see. He clings to that talking point the way a drunkard clings to a lamppost — not for direction, just for support. America was founded by geniuses. Parma Heights deserves better than this. IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this — every share helps get the truth in front of the people that rally was designed to mislead. COMMENT below — do YOU think a man with a lake house and a private jet budget larger than most Parma Heights households EARN deserves to call himself a champion of the working class? Tell me. And if you want MORE of this — the data, the history, the science, the stories — JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who actually LIVES in Northeast Ohio, supports a family of six on a teacher's salary, drives to work instead of chartering aircraft, and apparently finds it suspicious when a millionaire with three houses flies into a working-class suburb on someone else's dime to warn everyone about millionaires. @JoJoFromJerz @GuntherEagleman @catturd2 #MAGA #Veterans #Trump
The Big Four airlines (American, Delta, Southwest, United) control 75% of the U.S. market. Fewer choices = higher prices for you.
