I'm seeing takes that this happened because airlines called their senators really hard. It's a naive take. They called with wads of money they could offer or threaten to withhold wherever it helped or hurt.
You just calling your senator is nearly useless, you don't have billions of dollars.

Anarchists in media portrayals: Ok guys let's fuck shit up!
Real anarchists: After 12 hours of heated debate we've almost reached consensus on using the word "guys" as a collective term of address in meetings

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

This is big. The new anti-Trump coalition depends on the very working families that billionaire-ran monopolies exploit.
Mamdani having antitrust enforcer Lina Khan on his team is going to keep monopolies and hedge fund managers like Bill Ackman (stay in your lane) in NYC up at night :)
