Hey, @AmericanAir #AmericanAirlines do AA workers get paid per saying "I'm sorry"? Saga Pt 2: You pretended to reward me w/"preferred seating." In a 45minute phonecall a worker figured out it didn't apply to long flights. You wasted 4 hrs of my time apologizing not fixing it.
@AmericanAir #AmericanAirlines even had a customer rep call me from Trinidad to say AGAIN they wouldn't give the promised special seat. I guess your workers are that badly paid that it's cheaper to keep apologizing. No great hopes for tomorrow's flight.

I'm hijacking #MyTwitterAnniversary to bring attention to a more important event today: As a NYer, I’m angry my State Party Chair shirks responsibility for the GOP House wins in '22. I’m working to #ReplaceJayJacobs so we WIN '24. Read our grassroots plan: bit.ly/crjj510

The NY Democratic Party needs a leader who will fight for every seat, every Dem nominee, and every voting rights measure. @JayJacobs28 is not it.
Here's the job description. Let's get the leadership we deserve @nydems! @GovKathyHochul #ReplaceJayJacobs

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨🚨: @ReplaceJacobs is “renewing calls for Gov. Hochul to give the party chairman the boot, saying he’s to blame for Democrats’ poor performance in last year’s vital midterm elections.” #ReplaceJayJacobs nydailynews.com/news/politic…

What would it look like if Democrats ran an anti-gun campaign the way Republicans ran the anti-CRT campaign?
