JetBlue–Spirit Merger: Opposition and Court Rulings Shape a Collapse

PolitiFact traces the JetBlue–Spirit merger saga: Democratic opposition from Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg helped block the deal, with DOJ and a federal court ruling ultimately blocking the merger in 2024. Spirit Airlines then faced prolonged financial distress, filing for bankruptcy in 2024 and 2025, and finally wind‑down in 2026 due to soaring fuel costs and other pressures. The article notes that while Warren and Buttigieg played a role in opposing the merger, Spirit’s shutdown was driven by multiple financial factors, not solely the political actions surrounding the merger.

Senate duo push back as Pirro pauses Powell probe, warning the door remains open

Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Dick Durbin criticize U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for pausing rather than closing the criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, saying the investigation could be relaunched if warranted. Pirro says the Fed inspector general will investigate cost overruns on a Fed renovation and she could restart the case if facts justify it. Powell previously received subpoenas from Pirro’s office, which he called a pretext, and the Fed declined comment as Warsh’s nomination proceeds amid GOP opposition.

Elizabeth Warren asks the Treasury and the Federal Reserve to explicitly rule out using taxpayer dollars to bail out cryptocurrency billionaires as bitcoin slides about 50% from its October peak, warning such a rescue would enrich Trump-linked crypto interests and harm taxpayers. She also calls for stronger protections for retail crypto investors amid a selloff driven by leveraged liquidations, citing World Liberty Financial’s activity and losses among major crypto figures.

Warren warns Warsh nomination could imperil the Fed's independence

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is leading Democrats against Donald Trump’s pick for Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, arguing his past hawkish stance raising the prospect of political influence over policy would undermine the Fed’s independence. With Republicans in the Senate majority, her effort to delay or derail Warsh faces an uphill battle as the nomination moves forward amid broader tensions over inflation, Powell’s leadership, and political pressure on the central bank.
