It's All US airlines. Profits before people.

It's definitely worth getting up very early to get this roast started.

Trump taps key Project 2025 architect Russ Vought to head budget office U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Russ Vought, a key architect of "Project 2025," the controversial conservative plan to overhaul the government, to be director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, a powerful agency that helps decide the president's policy priorities and how to pay for them.
