None of this is based on fact. Grocery prices are up across the board. Medical is up across the board. Stop lying.

@GavinNewsom Gavin Newsom is lying like usual. Prices are down, inflation is down, and wages are up.

Wholesale egg prices are down substantially from under Joe Biden.

@CSPDPIO Is there an update?

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

Made it to DEN ran to the plane I was rebooked from, got on the board, plane is full so I got a middle seat, but happy I made it and … DELAYED - small panel loose. Is anyone else concerned there are all these maintenance problems? @united @FAANews @9NEWS

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

@united did you really just delay a flight for an hour to have maintenance tape the jump seat?? Really?

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

Either I have angered the travel gods or travel keeps getting worse. Grounded on Mothers Day due to broken seat (COS-DEN) looks like I will be missing my connection due to a mechanic that was supposed to be here 17 min ago (and counting) come on @united

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

I think about all the business travel I have done (and personal) and why can’t airlines just do better? Is it really this hard? My last three flights were all bad. We deserve better #travel #airlines - just be transparent

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

@united I am eating my words over last Friday’s delays. At least we got snacks, meal credits, and some communication. I will never leave you again - you complete me. #neveragain #americanairlines #worst

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

@AmericanAir fix your issues. I have zero confidence you are getting me to my destination today

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

@AmericanAir honestly you delayed my 8am flight due to a mechanical issue. While I was enroute to the airport you cancelled my 11am flight same plane? Same issue? New plane? New issue? And now just as it’s time to board my 3pm flight we are DELAYED again due to mechanical issue

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

@AmericanAir so instead of getting to my destination at 3pm so I could go some work, I had to pay for lounge access for the day. This is why I never fly this airline - I had limited options into Myrtle Beach sadly. Non-weather delays of 7+hrs ?

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

@AmericanAir delayed 8am flight to 11am then to 3pm so I get into my conference after midnight. What did they do for us? Nothing. Rebooked and got crappier seats. Oh and a whopping $12 meal credit. I feel like $20 should have been minimum (break/lunch/dinner

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

In my continuing travel saga, @united did eventually get us off the ground but we flew so late I couldn’t take advantage of my upgrade and just slept. But they at least gave us $20 meal credit. @AmericanAir is another story

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

@united I find it interesting that our plane got in over an hour ago and the very minute we are supposed to board, your gate agent announces engine problems - half the gate couldn’t hear him, and no ETA on resolution. So did they not have this info sooner? #travelwoes

@StephenKing on X - if you don’t follow him for his horror stories and creativity, you should follow him for his tweets or is that now Xeets? Also while The Stand is my favorite SK book, the whole DT series is insanely good.

[Donna Speckhard @speckhard]

@united round 2 will they or won’t they provide customer excellence today? Hat is packed in luggage so it nor my backpack should have to ride on my lap
