Jeffries Derangement Syndrome.

Elizabeth Warren's Socialist Crusade Just Slaughtered 17,000 Jobs and Destroyed Spirit Airlines Elizabeth Warren is the architect of a spectacular economic slaughter. She masquerades as a populist crusader while systematically destroying the livelihoods of the very working class she claims to champion. Her deliberate sabotage of Spirit Airlines exposes the venomous reality of progressive economic policy. By suffocating a struggling enterprise in the name of consumer protection, she orchestrated the total collapse of an airline that provided vital mobility to lower-income Americans. Look at the sheer arrogance of her actions. Spirit was bleeding cash and desperate for capital to survive. The proposed $3.8 billion acquisition by JetBlue was a necessary lifeline. Warren aggressively lobbied the Department of Transportation and the Department of Justice to kill the deal. She deployed the full weight of her office to block a previous merger with Frontier. She explicitly demanded the state intervene to prevent consolidation, completely ignoring the fundamental market reality that the airline was dying. The results of her ideological crusade are absolute devastation. In early May 2026, Spirit abruptly ceased all operations. Between 14,000 and 17,000 workers were instantly thrown into the streets. These are the blue-collar Americans Warren pretends to fight for, now sacrificed on the altar of her regulatory ambitions. The budget travelers who relied on rock-bottom fares are now entirely at the mercy of the major corporate airlines. The ultra-low-cost carrier market has been completely gutted, guaranteeing fewer options and higher costs for everyone. Never forget her grotesque victory lap. When a federal judge blocked the JetBlue merger in January 2024, Warren publicly gloated, declaring it a massive Biden win for flyers. That statement is a monument to leftist delusion. Her supposed triumph guaranteed the total liquidation of the company. She promised lower fares and delivered industry bankruptcy. Now that her catastrophic failure is undeniable, she resorts to pathetic deflection. On May 2, she actually attempted to blame Donald Trump and geopolitical fuel spikes for a corporate execution she personally engineered. She refuses to accept responsibility for wielding antitrust laws as a weapon of corporate destruction. The left cares absolutely nothing about the working class or market stability. They only care about expanding state control over private industry. Warren achieved her goal of market intervention, and the American consumer is paying the ultimate price.

Trump: They told me about the concept of the deal. They did not give me the exact wording.
