I’ve thought long and hard about the decision by @PeteButtigieg and @SenWarren to block the merger of @JetBlue and @SpiritAirlines back in January of 2024. It was so obvious that it would salvage a poorly run airline and save jobs that even a fifth grader would understand why it was a good thing. It would not have created any real anti trust concerns as both airlines combined would have accounted for less than 10% of total domestic air travel. The only reason I can think of is that they believed the appearance of protecting the consumer(which they obviously did not do) was more important than protecting the jobs of the majority of the 14,000 people employed by Spirit. We can’t continue to have ignoramuses making important decisions if we expect to have a good economy…

@EWErickson So the new Trump Administration jumped right into this after inauguration to save Spirit. Right? Right?

Today, 14,000 Americans are waking up unemployed because Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Lina Khan, and the Biden Administration insisted they were smarter and more knowledgeable about the airline industry than the airline industry itself. Technocrats kill jobs.

@ReillyRick @GlobeBobRyan It should be an all comer tournament like Indiana in the old days. Best teams get multiple byes, but let every D1 team a loser out game.

I am going on record. The NCAA Tournament was perfect at 64. Anything else is shameful greed exhibited by power conferences. Anyone who loves the sport knows this is the gospel truth,

@StateDept You kind of forced them to employ this strategy. You all seem to not understand the concept of nuclear deterrence.

SECRETARY RUBIO: The Strait of Hormuz is basically the equivalent of an economic nuclear weapon that Iran is trying to use against the world. They’re bragging about holding the world’s energy hostage. Imagine if those same people had access to a nuclear weapon.

This is another example showing how Barack Obama is one of the most divisive figures in American politics today. So many of our divisions were caused by the smug, demeaning and narrow-minded way he treats his opponents. Here, he pretends to not know the truth about the would-be assassin, although the facts of his left wing views were public hours before Obama’s tweet. It’s classic Obama - pretend to be conciliatory while he is the one who creates the divide. You would hope that Obama would condemn the left after the left tries to kill a President. But that’s too much to ask. Once again, Obama proves himself to be a classless divider of our country.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

@gmehra15 @therealsrust Yes. We are already seeing global supply disruption and price increases. Asia producers are panicked about feedstock supply from mid May onwards. As Asia shuts down, the demand pressure on US producers to ship offshore will spike prices globally.

The paper price of oil is $95. The delivered physical price is still around $130. That $35 gap is the biggest spread in recorded history. A thread on what's actually happening. 🧵

@BrandiKruse @DHSgov Maybe agents shouldn’t be pulling people over randomly. Have probable cause and a warrant. Pretty simple.

"The last straw": Seattle's top federal prosecutor says as of today, agents across @DHSgov are cut off from the Washington state database that allows them to run license plates and drivers' licenses. It's a change that could get agents killed during high-risk stops.

Significant earthquake swarm has begun off the Oregon-Washington coast in the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Magnitude 9 events are possible here, and the last one was 326 years ago. The reoccurrence rate here in the hundreds of years, and this a very notable new development.

@StefanBurnsGeo any thoughts? Any thoughts on the swarm of earthquakes off the Oregon/Washington coast this morning? There have been at least 14 occurances of 2.5 or higher that I could see since midnight. .

This is from a gas station in the UK. This is utter bullshit I want someone to explain to me why the Redcoats are paying $1.30 a gallon for gas and hardworking American Patriots like me are paying THREE TIMES THAT AMOUNT! There is no choice but to impeach Trump for this

@3YearLetterman @coachbrucepearl @PearlJam This is the price for freedom. Maybe expensive gas (known as ouzo in many parts of the world hence the name of the ouzo station Esso) is what we get for inventing the Bible and the English language.

Okay, but there is a right to do things and a wrong way. The current law of the land is birthright citizenship. Neither Trump nor the courts can change that. So why aren’t we proposing legitimate methods of change. Let do it right. Let’s do it within the framework of the Constitution.

Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal aliens can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance.

@SecScottBessent @POTUS @SecWar There is something seriously wrong with this conflict when the TREASURY SEC is the mouthpiece for it. It is truly an economic conflict and the US is clearly not in control.

America is firmly in control of the Iran conflict, and we have demolished Iran’s capability for aggression. @POTUS, @SecWar, and General Caine are spearheading our campaign to destroy all fortifications along the Strait of Hormuz.

“NO KINGS!” they shout… Meanwhile in Washington, Gov. Bob Ferguson just signed the bill banning “pocket listings” — forcing EVERY single property to be marketed publicly instead of letting sellers choose who sees it first. Washington now has the STRICTEST anti-private-listing law in America, and Bob’s on a roll: more new regulations, mandates, and state control than ANY other governor in the United States right now. Housing, voting, permits, taxes… he just keeps stacking them. March 28 “No Kings” protesters, you might wanna march on Olympia too. Turns out the real crown is sitting in the governor’s mansion.

@BrandiKruse You don’t know what it takes for someone to overcome something like this. No empathy. No heart. No soul. Just a hot take to make some cheap political point.
