Dear @SouthwestAir @gary_kelly @watterson_am
We've been in a very committed relationship for 20+ years, but you've changed, and it's time to break up.
2 Chase Southwest cards and 2 Companion Passes for 20 years. The points and passes used to make the lack of direct flights, with travel to take 40% longer than on other airlines, worth it, but those days have passed.
Your itineraries with layovers in BNA, DAL, and BWI are pricier than direct flights on other carriers, your auto seat assignments are terrible, and with SWA's point inflation, the ROI isn't there.
We’ve switched to new cards with a different airline—better direct/international options, lounge access, and my family still flies for free, even without companion passes, because I can get more flights with the points.
My sister and her husband signed up for SW cards in Jan in anticipation of heavy travel this year.
Last week she flew home from our father's funeral with her baby and 7-year-old. She booked a window & aisle hoping the middle would stay empty on a not-full flight (historically, you'd allow a lap child’s car seat in an open seat).
Instead, your algorithm jammed a stranger in that middle seat, while whole rows sat empty. You'd rather cram people together than let families use open space unless they pay extra. I get the business logic: pay for the seat or don't get it. But that's not the Southwest of the last 30 years. She's done too.
I'm aware you don't care that policy changes cost you 4 loyal customers and their children. The old Southwest would have cared; the new Southwest is just overpriced Spirit Air.
I'm running for U.S. Senate to retire Lindsey Graham.

Arianna Huffington is big on completely unplugging while on vacation- so I tried it out- went away and didn't check voicemail, text, or email for a week.
Came back, found out I had won a Jeep in a charity raffle, had 48 hours to claim it- and it had been forfeited.
Needless to say, I never completely unplug, and Huffington owes me a Jeep.
BREAKING: 31% of all hospice and home health companies in the U.S. are registered in L.A. County, and they receive millions in taxpayer money.
So I went to the addresses listed in the Valley.
What I found: No clinics. No patients. No healthcare providers.
Just vacant offices.

Standard Time People:
Here’s the data and evidence behind permanent standard time.
Daylight Saving Time People:

I have a lot of birthday cards.
"Mom, I'm not tired, it's really 8:30."
"I know. Take it up with Woodrow Wilson."
My mom was a badass.
Pilot's license at 15.
Helicopter instructor & the only female pilot at her airport.
She lived an adventurous life, broke barriers for women (not that she cared, she was just living her life her way) & repeatedly says the best thing she ever did was have kids.
Happy Women's Day.
The answer to ending DST is obvious:
We move the clock forward 30 minutes and end it.
They don’t even do this to people in epsteins files but they’re doing this to britney
We pay for your food; we should know what you eat.
We pay for your healthcare; we should know how you live.
We pay your legal settlements; we should know who did what.
Don't want that?
Pay for your own food, healthcare, and your own damn sexual harassment settlements.
As we prepare to spring forward this weekend, we want to remind you of the AASM's position on Daylight Saving Time.
It is the position of the AASM that the United States should eliminate seasonal time changes in favor of permanent ST, which aligns best with human circadian biology. Evidence supports the distinct benefits of ST for health and safety, while also underscoring the potential harms that result from seasonal time changes to and from DST.
Read our full position statement here: https://hubs.la/Q045FBg40
How about a bill that forces congressmen and women to pay out their own sexual harassment settlements instead of taxpayers?
@RepThomasMassie @NancyMace
How important is Ken Paxton to America?
Arguably more important than all the Republicans in Congress have been over the past five years.
Here’s a list of the cases that Ken Paxton has won before the United States Supreme Court.
These rulings changed law for the country.
Isn't it great when we get to learn from other people. Try not to get hacked folks, but if you do, here's some good information.
R to @txsalth2o: I wrote out what happened and how I got the account back. Hopefully, it can serve as a warning to everyone and help those who are currently locked out. https://x.com/txsalth2o/status/2029217286595158106?s=20

R to @txsalth2o: And thank you to all my friends who set up new chats.
You'll be happy to know that having to enter the passcode prevented the hacker from accessing my chats and DMs. No crypto was pushed in the DMs.
I’m Back! Suck it Hackers!
A big thanks to @Manhattva @kristenmag @PubliusDB @cicero_mn @BurtMacklin_FBI @danmccay and @RightWingDad who all did everything they could to help me get it back.
And thanks to all of you who supported commented and went to the other account. You are all the best! I’ll follow back everyone I can there (it puts daily limits on you and labels it suspicious activity so it make take a while)
I’ll go through everything stupid I did and what I did to get my account back later today.
And to the 19 X employees I DM’d asking for assistance and escalation- thank you. (But seriously, this process should be easier)
-Africa has 54 countries
-Asia has 48 countries
-There are 51 countries with a Muslim majority
Nobody from Africa, Asia or a Muslim country needs to come to Europe or the USA for asylum. They have plenty of countries closer and more culturally aligned to them.
Send them back.
My dad is haunting our family by turning my mom’s tv on to Fox News.
Over the past week the tv has started randomly just turning on, and always to FoxNews.
Do I believe my dad is taking a time out in the afterlife to check in on how Trump is handling Iran? Absolutely
Iranian here!
I want to thank American leftists for educating me these past few days & correcting my understanding of Iran & radical Islam
I almost trusted my own experience, my parents’ trauma, and what my family in Iran endures daily instead of your wisdom. What would I have done without your tweets & tiktoks ❤️
My liberal cousin thought it was appropriate to tell my brother she doesn’t like his politics AT MY FATHER’S FUNERAL.
How hard is it to say “I’m sorry for your loss?” And move on?!
I may be one of the luckiest people on earth.
I made it to the age of 48 without death impacting me.
48 years without losing a sibling, a close friend, child, niece or nephew, college roommate or parent.
I lay my dad to rest this week and am overwhelmed with gratitude that not only did I get 6 yrs to say goodby and that he got 2 years more life than the average American, but he was the first in my close circle to go.
I don’t know anyone else that has been so blessed.
🚨🚨🚨Breaking - Is THIS why the administration is fighting so hard to protect cancer-causing glyphosate?
Bayer Pharmaceuticals has worked with both Ballard Partners and Mercury LLC. Susie Wiles, the President’s Chief of Staff, was a lobbyist for both companies and Pfizer. Pam Bondi was a lobbyist at Ballard Partners. This is profoundly important in understanding why the Administration would take such an unpopular position on an issue so important to MAHA in an election season.
Trump’s CoS, Susie Wiles, and Pam Bondi both worked for Ballard Partners; Wiles was a managing partner at Mercury. It appears their lobbying didn’t end when they took their positions with the administration.
BTW - for anyone still failing to understand the EO and effective immunity, it is important to note that by calling glyphosate a national security concern and stating that the Sec of Ag should ensure they do not “endanger the corporate viability” of glyphosate producers, the Administration is providing new defenses and demonstrating that the DOJ will continue to fight against liability for people sickened by these poisons. Bondi has already submitted documents to the SCOTUS attempting to block liability in the glyphosate cases. @HealthRanger @VigilantFox
~70% of immigrants on welfare send money abroad.
Pure insanity.
That's our money.
Any person on public assistance should be prohibited from sending remittances.
“Why would Trump make that executive order and lose MAHA before the midterms?”
What made you think Trump cared about any election other than his own?
Jade Nurse was raped by hundreds of men from age 14 “freshies’ flown in from Pakistan specifically to abuse her. Sexual exploitation tourism. Operating openly.
What visas? Who vetted them? How many are still here?
We granted 200k Pakistani visitor visas last year alone, more than double issued just two years earlier, with barely any checks on criminal history or links to rape gangs networks.
If you won’t control entry, don’t pretend you’re protecting women and girls.
Only Reform understands that visa policy is public protection policy.
My oped last December in @Daily_Express 👇
The argument structure is always the same.
Leaded petrol: we need it for engine performance. Removing it would increase costs and damage the car industry.
We removed it. Engines still work. Blood lead levels dropped. Childhood IQ scores rose.
DDT: we need it for crop protection. Removing it would devastate agriculture.
We removed it. Agriculture continued. Bald eagle populations recovered. Breast milk became cleaner.
Asbestos: we need it for fire resistance and insulation. Removing it would compromise building safety.
We removed it. Buildings remain standing. Mesothelioma rates began to decline.
CFCs: we need them for refrigeration. Alternatives don't work as well.
We removed them. Refrigeration continues. The ozone layer is recovering.
Glyphosate: we need it to feed the world. Removing it would cause famine.
The script is identical.
The industry interest is identical.
The outcome, each time we've removed the "essential" chemical, has also been identical.
We managed.
We always manage.
The chemical was never as essential as the company selling it said.
In 2009, the paedophile, Jimmy Savile was interviewed under caution by police in Surrey and Sussex. Subsequently, the police referred 4 cases to the CPS (Crown Prose Service) alleging that Savile had raped at least three learning disabled girls under the age of 16.
The CPS, after receiving the files from the police, refused to prosecute Savile, and dropped the claim, citing 'insufficient evidence'..
After Savile's death, and despite multiple attempts at high level cover ups, we now know he abused at least 500 known victims over a four decade period.
The man in charge of the CPS at the time, that decided that there was 'insufficient evidence' to charge Saville, was none other than Keir Starmer.

Monsanto/@Bayer just filed its brief to the U.S. Supreme Court and what they’re asking for is staggering.
If they win, one ruling could wipe out thousands of state-level lawsuits against pesticide companies across America. Not because the products were proven safe. Not because juries weighed the evidence and cleared them.
But because federal law would override the right of states and everyday people to hold them accountable.
Everyone should be watching this. We must stop the mass poisoning of America.
R to @txsalth2o: This morning I’m literally taking an Uber to go half a mile at 5 am because I’m afraid I’ll get stabbed. 🫠
The UK rape scandal is 100,000x worse than the Epstein scandal (not only b/c there were 400k victims vs like 400)…and it gets 1/100th the press
Hate to be conspiratorial but I don’t wonder a *little* if one is being covered to innure the public to the horrors of the other
His way of bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read.
This means my first read on him was correct. He’s been handed so many things & put in high positions he never earned or deserved.
Do you wanna know the craziest part of this footage that will haunt him forever? He’s literally slowing his speech down & talking in a sporadic cadence.
He’s not just TELLING them that they’re all probably stupid & probably can’t read, he’s LITERALLY SLOW-ING-DOWN-HIS-SPEECH to make them understand the words that are coming out of his mouth!!!! As if they’re children!!!! That means he REALLY BELIEVES they’re slow. He’s not just saying it—he didn’t misspeak!!!! He BELIEVES it!!!!
Do ya love it?!?!!
Do ya just love it, black ppl?!????
Hi. I’m dyslexic. I can confirm, I’m capable of reading. Including a teleprompter.
So capable that I discovered Newsom funding virtually every protest in his state with your tax dollars.
If you cant read, that’s not called dyslexia. It’s called illiteracy.
I’m in LA for work and man this place is a dump. I actually like Las Vegas better than LA and I HATE Las Vegas.
