Buttigieg Speaks With Southwest CEO Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had a talk with the CEO of Southwest Airlines about the company's holiday travel meltdown. According to a department spokesperson, Buttigieg said he expects the airline to "live up to the commitments it has made to passengers" with refunds, hotel rooms, and meal vouchers. Buttigieg also told the airline to "do right by their pilots and flight attendants" that have been affected by the meltdown. While most other airlines have recovered from last week's winter storm, Southwest has canceled more than 15,000 flights since last week.

Pearl Harbor is a U.S. naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii, that was the scene of a devastating surprise attack by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. Just before 8 a.m. on that Sunday morning, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes descended on the base, where they managed to destroy or damage nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight battleships, and over 300 airplanes. More than 2,400 Americans died in the attack, including civilians, and another 1,000 people were wounded. The day after the assault, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan.
