The Trump administration is in panic mode as jet fuel prices continue to soar due to the U.S.-Israeli joint war on Iran and Lebanon, with the president’s advisers pushing him to end the war before summer, according to The Wall Street Journal. Jet fuel has become twice as expensive since the beginning of the war, and prices show no signs of falling. That’s causing airlines to add billions more in expenses and ticket prices to try to counteract the effects of the war—meaning the consumer will suffer. Skyrocketing fuel prices even caused Spirit Airlines to declare bankruptcy and shut down last week, even though Republicans blame the Biden administration. The vast majority of Americans are suffering at the pump, the airport, or both—and they’re correctly blaming it on Trump. Trump and his Cabinet have continuously downplayed the negative impacts the war is having on fuel prices, with the president stating that these high prices are “a very small price to pay for getting rid of a nuclear weapon from people that are really mentally deranged.” Americans don’t see it that way, especially if it means their plans get canceled. If the senseless death, destruction, and displacement in Iran and Lebanon weren’t enough to catalyze people against Trump’s war, paying hundreds of dollars for a vacation ticket might.
“The country’s most important civil rights law no longer effectively exists, and that’s going to have ramifications on American democracy for a very long time.” Mother Jones correspondent Ari Berman reacts to the Supreme Court’s recent 6-3 decision rejecting key principles of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Since the court issued its ruling last week, Republican-controlled states have begun to redraw their voting maps in a “gerrymandering arms race” that “could lead to the largest drop in Black representation since the Jim Crow era,” explains Berman. “We’re returning to the days of literacy tests and poll taxes — not through those devices, but through specifically trying to eliminate Black office holders. And Southern legislators are very clear they are going to do this. They feel unshackled by the Supreme Court ruling. They are being pressured by President Trump to do it, and they feel like all the guardrails are off right now.”
The airline is the world’s most profitable carrier, despite the Iran war effectively shutting down its home airport at the end of the reporting period.

You can read a transcript here.California’s gubernatorial race has never had a clear front-runner, says David Dayen, the executive editor of The American Prospect and a resident of the state. In the latest edition of Right Now, Dayen explains why the race has been so unpredictable and confusing. Kamala Harris opted not to run, meaning that there was no obvious person for the party establishment to anoint. Former Representative Katie Porter has struggled to overcome videos of her treating staffers poorly. Eric Swalwell was forced to leave both the gubernatorial race and Congress amid numerous sexual misconduct accusations. Republican Steve Hilton, a former Fox News commentator, will likely finish in the top two in the primary and advance to the general election largely because he was endorsed by President Trump. The big question, Dayen says, is which Democrat will be his rival. That will likely either be venture capitalist turned philanthropist Tom Steyer or Xavier Becerra, who has been California’s attorney general, a member of the U.S. House, and the secretary of the federal Department of Health and Human Services. The party establishment is ideologically closer to Becerra, according to Dayen, but views him a weak leader. Progressives like many of Steyer’s stances but are wary of backing a billionaire.
