New airline for my logbook. Surprisingly more legroom than Avianca's plus section and they give your drinks! #nonrevfran

The Spirit Airlines demise is a direct result of the Iran war's impact on jet fuel. Wall St Dems who know that yet still blame a 2-year-old merger challenge, which if it didn't happen would've just led to a bigger airline going bankrupt, are being extremely disingenuous. prospect.org/2026/05/05/a...

Aftermath: The First Corporate Casualty of the Iran War - The American Prospect

Spirit Airlines’ demise can be directly traced to the rise in jet fuel prices. That hasn’t stopped corporate Democrats from blaming Biden-era merger policy.

and a way to shift blame for our defeat in Vietnam away from Nixon, Ford and the Republicans to Carter, who they could blame for weakly not addressing the made-up, fake problem of thousands of left-behind POWs

Think about POW/MIA. You've seen these flags flying around. It's a conspiracy theory that tens of thousands of US soldiers who died in Vietnam weren't actually killed, but held prisoner for decades afterwards. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...

Minutes before Trump's announcement of “conversations” with Tehran sent crude tumbling yesterday, traders made well-timed oil bets worth $580mn. "You have to wonder who would have been aggressive at selling futures at that point," said a strategist. Read the story on #FTEdit 👉 ft.trib.al/n3wZnOc

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

No. Square the circle. "He's spending money on invading other countries. The only money he's spending here is to kill you."

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Honoring Charlie Kirk's "love" of freedom of speech

NBC News@nbcnews.com · 11mo ago

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has told his staff to identify any members of the military who have mocked or condoned the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk so that they can be punished, two defense officials told NBC News.

I thought people were exaggerating, but no, it really is the case that liberal politicians posting platitudes about the Nazi Youth youtuber never posted anything about Melissa Hortman

I'm so old I remember when a certain type of commentator held up Eric Adams as the future of how the Democratic Party should handle the politics of crime

I came into this thinking I would be fully on Ryanair’s side, but AENA makes some strong points

Seth Miller@wandrme.paxex.aero · 11mo ago

We've long talked on @moredotsmorelines.com about how Ryanair shifts ops based on airport subsidies. Now AENA is calling that out explicitly. And piling on some other fiscal details. Really, really impressive (and unexpected) to see the pushback.

Andrew Cuomo couldn’t allow his first, tepid recognition of reality — that the Israeli government, with the full support of the Trump administration, is starving the people of Gaza — last more than a few hours without walking it back. This is someone who believes in nothing.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Attacks on Muslims flood mainstream after Mamdani win

Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

You can also, with high levels of success, use this framework to predict things by simply reading Project 2025 and listening to GOP think tanks, a document that many assured the country wasn’t going to happen. I, a regular guy, was warning people that they were going to deport citizens last year.
