Pittsburgh has a new airport terminal. To me, it's the most important travel story of 2025. Not because the old one was too big and inconvenient, but bc it was a reminder of one of the worst corporate backstabbings in U.S. history.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.
