By the way, Southwest blew $5.6 billion on stock buybacks in the past few years.
They could have made investments in their services and infrastructure.
They could have prepared for extreme weather events.
But no. They decided to enrich their shareholders.
BREAKING: Ohio Governor Mike Dewine just signed a massive voter suppression law that would enact stricter ID laws, slash the period of early voting, and restrict voting drop boxes. Anyone who cares about democracy should be outraged. This is why state elections matter.
Oops! I did again, @washingtonpost:
I created a Twitter account pretending to be @SenMarkey (with his permission) and applied for Blue “verification.”
And once again, Twitter took my $8, asked zero questions and gave the fake account a blue checkmark.

The January 6 Committee referred Trump to the DOJ for criminal prosecution on the grounds that he:
-Incited an insurrection
-Conspired to defraud the US
-Obstructed an act of Congress
-Conspired to make a false statement
The case is incredibly powerful.
The DOJ must prosecute.
In case you missed it, Rep. George Santos flashed a white supremacy hand gesture while voting for Kevin McCarthy in the tenth round of voting for Speaker of the House. 👀
McCarthy has agreed to allow the extremist wing of his seditionist party to hold Social Security and Medicare hostage over the debt ceiling.
Whether it’s storming the Capitol, paralyzing the House, or extorting senior citizens, the @GOP remains the party of domestic terrorism.
BREAKING: Elon Musk’s Twitter restores the account of MAGA traitor Michael Flynn on the two year anniversary of Jan. 6th even though he continues to push insane QAnon conspiracy theories and election lies to undermine American democracy. RT TO DEMAND FLYNN BE BANNED!
To the 8 Republican Senators and the 139 Republican congresspeople who tried to overthrow our government two years ago, congratulations on continuing to get away with it, traitors. #January6th#14thAmendmentSec3
You know, if @GOPLeader had forced Gaetz to step down after the sex scandals or had the guts to expel Boebert when she put lives of her colleagues in danger on January 6th, he'd be Speaker by now.
The problem with sacrificing principles for power: you end up with neither.
McCarthy just agreed to a deal with far right insurrectionists that would hold the entire US and global economy hostage to extreme cuts to everything from housing to education, healthcare, Social Security and Medicare.
Hard to overstate how dangerous this is.
