The Last Outpost of Common Sense

Back in 2024, Senator Warren was instrumental in Biden’s DOJ blocking JetBlue’s $3.8 billion merger with Spirit, calling it a “Biden win for flyers.”
.
Her argument? It would reduce competition and raise fares.
.
Reality? It doomed the ultra-low-cost carrier that millions of working families relied on for cheap flights. Spirit filed for bankruptcy twice, slashed routes, sold planes, and still couldn’t survive surging fuel costs and endless losses.
.
Now in 2026, Spirit is shutting down operations entirely… stranding passengers, costing 14,000 jobs, and leaving fewer affordable options in the sky.
.
The “protector of consumers” celebrated the move that guaranteed fewer choices and higher prices for the exact people she claims to fight for.
.
Government regulators picking winners and blocking private-sector rescues doesn’t protect flyers. It buries budget airlines.
.
RIP Spirit. Thanks to the democrat policies that made affordable travel a casualty.
