No longer my preferred airline. Bye bye.
The airline was the last major U.S. carrier to allow free checked bags for all passengers, a policy it held for more than 50 years.

People seem to forget that the human body is essentially unchanged from when life expectancy was 35 years. The difference today is education, vaccines, environmental regulations, weather forecasting and all the other things the Trump administration is now obliterating.

Didn't Republicans complain that the stimulus checks issued during Covid by Biden were inflationary?
I guess it is OK for them to talk out of every side of their mouths.

President Trump has floated the idea of giving taxpayers a $5,000 refund check as a dividend from savings created by DOGE. Here's what to know.

Texas farmers sent 235k tons of wheat to this port; Louisiana farmers sent rice - all vital food aid for people in need overseas.

The tariffs are tantamount to a National Sales Tax and Trump will later use these increased revenues to claim he has lowered the deficit.
The conservative minions are already pushing the narrative that it’s “patriotic to pay higher prices.” Seriously, screw you! Your useless Puppet “President” just raised our prices *on purpose* and cooked the whole economy! Our incompetent government is destroying America and you say “yes sir.” WEAK!

Democrats in the Senate must grind everything to a halt. No movement on legislation, certainly no movement on nominees. Nothing moves until this lawlessness is undone. How is this even controversial? You could easily sustain a talking filibuster just by describing the current horrors.

The released water serves *no* purpose now (and is in fact dangerous). But we are likely to need this water, desperately, in the summer.
This is an act of economic sabotage targeted at California. Truly vicious.

Making the argument that a plane crash is due to DEI hires, is tantamount to making the argument that women and/or people of color are less qualified than white males. The argument is therefore misogynist and racist at its core, and yet they get away with it. WTF America! Aren't we better than this?
