Due to the @SpiritAirlines bankruptcy travelers are trapped around the US. People showed up to the airport to fly this morning. Cancelled. Workers showed up for their shift. Now jobless. My family member paid for a flight. Now they won’t be reimbursed. We must call out @SenWarren and the Communists who are responsible for this. @JetBlue tried to buy Spirit for billions under the Biden admin 2024. Democrats blocked it.

@DougDavidsonYR Always been a skeptic on the 2020 election. Where did the extra 15 or 16 million votes come from?? Not saying it was rigged but someone needs to explain that realistically.

@AGHamilton29 Why didn’t Republicans fix it? My recollection is that you control all branches of government (for another nine months or so).

A good reminder that Warren is almost always wrong. Warren celebrated the Biden admin effort to block the Jet Blue-Spirit merger. Now Spirit is likely to shut down, resulting in fewer flights and higher fares, the very thing she claimed the effort was preventing.
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren

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…

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.

@gibby_joe52901 You think spirit went bankrupt because of trumps war? 1) gas prices lower than 2022 2) post has nothing to do with Trump It’s about spirit airlines shutting down. Sorry you can’t read. Maybe have Gemini read it to you out loud.

Dear Parents Please sit your children down and explain how Capitalism works, how we are the richest country in the world and that this is the land of opportunity. Democratic socialists like Sen Warren don't understand or believe how Gov't can assist or destroy the private sector

Nowhere in this article do they mention the Biden administration stopped a merger that might have saved the airline and that Democrats did a victory dance over it. This is the most pervasive media bias. It’s not the outright lies. It’s what they purposely omit.
The Associated Press@AP

Spirit Airlines, an impish upstart that shook the industry with its irreverent ads and deep discount fares, announced Saturday that it has gone out of business after 34 years. apnews.com/article/spirit…

Obama donated NONE of his salary. Michelle had a staff of 23. Trump donates ALL of his salary. Melania has a staff of 4. In life there are givers and there are takers.

Ken Paxton gave a plea deal to lawyer Adam Hoffman, his friend, for raping a boy (his son’s friend) over three years starting in third grade. Instead of a felony and sex offender registration, Hoffman gets only 30 days in prison and no registration.🤬

@Cam373737 @NikkiHaley You believe that bullshit from a social influencer trying to make a buck? As for tariffs, they cause consumers a lot of pain but would have minuscule effect on the deficit. The deficit always blows up under Repubs.

America just crossed a dangerous milestone: our national debt now exceeds the size of our economy. Washington spends $1.33 for every $1 it takes in, with a $1.9T deficit this year alone. When the bill comes due, expect higher taxes, a weaker dollar, fewer services, a weaker military—and our kids stuck paying for it.

Crissy Froyd, Simms, & 2 guys from WEII, lose their job for trying to talk sense about this corrupt scandal.
