From me: U.S. Department of Transportation today issued a $140 million fine to Southwest for canceling 17,000 holiday flights last Dec. It's 30x larger than any civil penalty in DOT’s history,& more than half of it will go to adequately compensating travelers for future disruptions. prospect.org/infrastructure…

Sen. Graham on Meet the Press casts major doubt on border deal this month: “we feel that we're being jammed. We're not anywhere close to a deal. It'll go into next year.”

Says he’s been talking to “people at the table”
