The Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act is an attack on our constitutional republic.
Illinois will fight back, uphold our values, and safeguard democracy.

@GasBuddyGuy Here’s the clear timeline:
* November 18, 2024 – Spirit Airlines filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (first major filing in that recent cycle).
* The airline continued operating during restructuring.

STRAIT STINGS SPIRIT... Spirit Airlines begins ‘wind-down’, cancels all flights over fuel crisis... Spirit’s restructuring plan assumed jet fuel costs of about $2.24 a gallon in 2026 and $2.14 in 2027, but prices had climbed to about $4.51 a gallon by the end of April.

Awful. Trump dragged us into war with Iran, sending fuel prices through the roof, and now one of the few affordable options to fly - one started right here in Detroit - is gone.
And not a single Republican stopped him when they had the chance.

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

A reminder that Clarence Thomas is an embarrassment to the ancestors for voting to slowly chip away protections of the Voting Rights Act.

Losing supporters every single day, here’s the President of the United States harassing an anti-ICE protest with a low altitude pass in a helicopter. Forget about violence aimed at Trump. Trump himself is violent. And who’s the stupid cunt piloting it.

Since the paid MAGA influencer losers are executing their marching orders on this Spirit story, let’s inject some reality.
The Biden administration didn’t stop any Spirit mergers. The issue went to trial and a judge ruled that a Jet Blue/Spirit merger violated US antitrust laws, and would likely increase prices on consumers.
The courts ruled, correctly, that the merger violated the law and would hurt Americans.
So, fellow Americans: what MAGA is really saying is they don’t give a shit about the law, and they don’t give a shit if you had to pay more to fly.

I ask @SenAlexPadilla, who served as Sec of State in CA, what's wrong with requiring an ID to vote in person?
"It's a solution in search of a problem..."
"This could also keep eligible people from voting. What if you forgot your ID? Or you forgot to renew it the week before & all of a sudden you're not allowed to vote?"

Sadly, Spirit was doomed by soaring fuel costs caused by Trump’s war—along with his earlier COVID failings. Workers, air travelers, investors, customers, communities & more are casualties of his expanding economic crater. nbcnews.com/business/consu…

Our mentally deranged President posted this on social media in the middle of the night. 25th Amendment now.

If this Spirit Airlines situation teaches us anything about MAGA it’s that they’re all whiny bitches that blame others for everything.

🚨 THANK A DEMOCRAT 🚨 JOE BIDEN AND PETE BUTTIGIEG bragged about blocking the JetBlue–Spirit merger… The very deal that could have SAVED Spirit Airlines THE RESULT: ❌ LESS COMPETITION ❌ CUSTOMERS SCRAMBLING ❌ EMPLOYEES LOSING JOBS YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP

Dear MAGA Morons
What do you think was more detrimental to the budget airline industry, the blocking of the Spirit/ Jet Blue merger or the the increase in jet fuel prices because of the Iran war?
I’m asking because I’ve noticed you’re not saying shit about the latter.

Spirit Airlines only needed $500 million to survive. We’ve already spent $25 billion on the Iran War. Which one directly improves American lives more? A low-cost carrier staying in the market or another war in the Middle East?

Spirit danced with bankruptcy & was plagued by management issues for quite some time. Then - this unprofitable organization- with almost no cushion got hit with soaring jet fuel costs.
That is the story.

If Jet Blue had bought Spirit Airlines, Trump's reckless war and doubling of jet fuel prices would have likely caused BOTH airlines to go under.
Thank the Democrats for saving at least one of the budget airlines.
