@Houseofyogi @BillAckman Way to go @SenWarren this must be the millionth example of the government doesn’t know best.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

@bgtennisnation Great video! I’ve been lost on what to do! Thanks BG! Go Raiders!

morning thoughts 💭 with pro stringer Vinh at the shop

@realwifiwillie I’m out on this idea. Take Mendoza now. No guarantees with Manning

I'll root for Mendoza regardless but the Raiders should: 1. trade back for a hall 2. roll with Cousins/O'Connell 3. find their franchise QB next year Trading back worked out perfectly for the Bears.

@SenSchumer then how do you explain the drop in murder rate under his watch?

If Kash Patel wants to keep partying, he can do it somewhere else. But first he must resign from the FBI immediately. He's not a serious person. He does not have the skills for the job. He does not have sound judgment to lead the Bureau. This is what happens when Trump nominates members of his fan club instead of qualified law enforcement professionals.

@RepThomasMassie clearly not a big enough truck to haul all the trash out!

As I walked past the Capitol this morning, I couldn’t help but notice the ironic presence of a garbage truck as two members resign in disgrace and shame.

@Georgesantos Easily it's how politics is defined. You win when you have leverage.

@KanekoaTheGreat You will wait a very long time…..

Rep. Ro Khanna wants national health insurance, free college, and free trade schools. Quick question: name one industry government got involved in where prices dropped and quality went up. I'll wait.

@RoKhanna @RNCResearch Stop with the taxes! Enough already. Until you and your colleagues can show any ability to control spending and fraud no more taxes. Stop spending money to cover up sexual misconduct.

Thanks for sharing this @RNCResearch Yes I am for Medicare for all & free college and trade schools. Tax billionaires. No funding for war in Iran.

@laurenboebert It’s why us regular folk call all of you the protected class. A bunch of takers who couldn’t make it in the private sector if your life depended on it.

If he resigns he takes all of his taxpayer funded Congressional benefits with him. Expel him.

@ewarren How about you eliminate the slush fund that covers up the sick behavior of your colleagues? Repurpose that money. Stop asking for more when you clearly have zero control of what you already have!

A wealth tax on the top .15% of the richest families would generate $6.2 trillion in revenue. That could pay for: Universal childcare Millions of new homes Slashing child poverty Medicare for people aged 55+ Universal paid family leave Tuition-free community college And more.

@USCongress Eliminate your slush fund for sexual predators and stop the cover up now! Using taxpayer dollars for your bad behavior should be a felony! Be better leaders and get off your power trip.

@RepNancyMace one key omission from your post AND they USED taxpayer dollars to cover up. F-ing assholes.

357 members of Congress voted to kill our resolution to expose sexual harassment records in Congress. They chose secrecy over accountability. They chose to protect themselves and their friends. We tried to bring the truth forward and show the American people what is happening behind closed doors in Congress. Both sides voted to keep these records buried from you. We won’t forget it, and neither should you.

@HouseDemocrats Tackle all the fraud you will have plenty of money to create new pet projects that we will undoubtedly have to audit down the road because you can't help yourself.

America is unaffordable.  It’s because of Donald Trump.

@JustinThomas34 @RBC_Heritage You guys are SO GOOD. When I read 'not quite sharp enough', I chuckle because I miss greens consistently from 125 out. 🤣

Masters week never disappoints. The course played incredibly! A lot of good in my game but not quite sharp enough to get into contention. Few days to reset and fine tune before trying to win another plaid jacket @RBC_Heritage!

@KatieMiller Nothing ever happens to the scum of DC! Lots of screaming from mountain tops but the criminals thrive on. It’s gross.

While the reports of the women sexually harassed and abused by Eric Swalwell are deeply disturbing, the timing and intensity are questionable and alarming. The Legacy Media and the DC Press Corps knew about these allegations for over a decade. Women on Capitol Hill knew the type of man Eric was—this has persisted since my early days on the Hill in 2013. This was an open secret. He was drunk at bars with young women. Eric was an elected member of Congress who ran for President. Yet, the Liberal Elite Media didn’t peel back the curtain until it served their interests when he was close to the Governorship. The media is complicit in further abuses of power by Eric Swalwell; they covered for him. This would have NEVER been the case if this were a Republican—it would never have served their interests. The double standard is evident in all the disclosures of media who received texts and shared evidence that they held for years. This is a coordinated takedown we are all watching. The allegations are, of course, true, yet the coordination exists to serve the elites’ plan. Why was a grown man still on Snapchat? They knew. They all knew and they were in on it.

I always enjoy when a businessman teaches a politician reality.

@SenWarren How long before $7 billion isn’t enough and you’ll need more?

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@chamath @SenWarren literally give us regular citizens one thing we want then we can talk about more taxes. However if you controlled the fraud you wouldn't need more taxes.

@SenWarren spend transparently with accountability, sign up to term limits, give us voter id. then take whatever you want.

Elon Musk has 6.5 MILLION times more wealth than the typical American. It’s time for a wealth tax — billionaires must pay their fair share.

@bgtennisnation @Raiders feisty take Brad. I'm not as cold as you are on this. I'm not expecting MVP numbers from Cousins, but he is a solid pro to warm the kid up with. I'm a fan of not rushing the kid out there.

pathetic signing by my @Raiders signing my Cousins, i would rather have any rookie or free agent rookie, we just got rid of pathetic Geno did they not learn, find some better players in the trenches to start with

@KirkCousins8 Welcome to the Raiders!

The Autumn Wind…
