A couple, 67 and 65. Buy a place in Florida. Spend about 5 months a year there. Keep the home up north. They tell everyone they're "basically Florida residents now." 3 years later, the audit letter arrives from their old state. Cell phone records. Credit cards. Doctor visits. Utility bills. The verdict: not Florida residents. Back taxes plus interest plus penalties. This isn't hypothetical. In October 2025, the New York Tax Appeals Tribunal ruled against John Hoff and Kathleen Ocorr-Hoff for tax years 2018 and 2019. About $60,000 in New York income taxes. They had done everything the checklists tell you to do. Florida driver's licenses. Florida voter registration. Declarations of domicile filed in Florida. Vehicles registered in Florida. Estate planning documents updated to Florida law. The Tribunal still ruled against them. Here's what actually beat them. Cell phone records showed they spent more days in New York than Florida both years. 186 days in NY in 2018. 164 in 2019. He still owned and ran a New York business and drew a significant salary from it. She still operated her own business out of Rochester, New York. They kept country club memberships in both states. The center of their actual life never left. The 183-day rule is the starting gun, not the finish line. You can be under 183 days in your old state and still lose if your business, your income, your doctors, and your daily life stayed behind. States are aggressive about this. New York alone collected more than $3 billion through residency audits from 2022 to 2023. A driver's license won't save you. Neither will a declaration of domicile.

SARA EISEN: The president is just expressing what he wants in terms of monetary policy ELIZABETH WARREN: I'm sorry. Is that real? You think it's not different to say 'here's how I read the numbers' and being the president and employing the DOJ to bring criminal charges against someone?

SARA EISEN: I think it was a bit of a trap to ask Kevin Warsh about the election denial, to get him to disagree with President Trump. You know no Fed Chair is going to weigh in on politics like that. ELIZABETH WARREN: Look, I asked him a fact. We need a Fed Chair who can assert reality. Kevin Warsh can't do it.

Niall Ferguson@nfergus·
Let me walk you through the events of the war so far: 1. The United States and Israel tried regime change; it didn’t work. Or rather, they got regime change—Iran became an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–led military dictatorship. That was not an improvement. 2. The U.S. won an overwhelming military victory with air and naval power and scarcely a boot on the ground. But it destroyed less of Iran’s missile- and drone-launching capabilities than at first appeared. 3. Then there was a hostage crisis. Iran took both the Gulfies and the Strait of Hormuz hostage. The result was a massive economic shock for the world that required a rapid resolution. 4. The choice was between 1) military escalation (boots on the ground or strikes on Iranian infrastructure), and 2) a diplomatic deal. Trump chose 2. 5. In Islamabad, the U.S proposed big economic concessions in return for some kind of change in the status of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, as well as the reopening of the strait. Contrary to the president’s social media feed, the Iranians did not accept. 6. In any case, the devil of any deal will be in the details, not the Truth headline. (When the small print finally comes out, every former Obama and Biden official will be ready to tell The New York Times that it’s worse than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.) 7. Meanwhile, the Iranians have survived regime change and discovered that closing the strait is just as powerful a lever in economic warfare as they had always hoped. It’s not, despite the Russian quip, an “economic nuke,” because unlike a nuclear weapon you can use it. 8. Where we go from here is fairly predictable. I would be surprised if Trump now deploys ground forces. There will be more negotiation, so Islamabad, here we come. There may have to be more bombing, if the Iranians dust down the North Vietnamese playbook of stringing the U.S. negotiators along. And the final compromise will take longer to be agreed upon than Mr. Market currently believes. The consensus in prediction markets is this will be over by the end of May, but remember: It took Henry Kissinger more than four months to get the 1973–1974 oil embargo lifted.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

@mattyglesias We shouldn’t rely on government for growth, instead we should be welcoming businesses to our city for growth.

🤣 A Seoul Easter parade has gone viral over a dramatic “ascension” scene During the performance, an actor portraying Jesus was lifted high above the crowd by a crane — much higher than spectators expected. Online, users are joking that he “went a bit too far” and asking whether there are plans to bring him back down… and if so, will it happen before Christmas?

Activist: "I only buy clothes without wool" Farmer: "What are they made of?" Activist: "Synthetic fibers." Farmer: "That are made from oil." Activist: "Mostly recycled synthetics." Farmer: "That dump microplastics into waterways with every wash." Activist: "That's an industry problem." Farmer: "The wool I produce is biodegradable, regrows every year, and doesn't require petrochemicals." Activist: "But there's an animal involved." Farmer: "An animal that needs to be sheared anyway." Activist: "I still don't want to use it." Farmer: "You're choosing microplastics in rivers over a haircut." Activist: "I choose not to exploit animals." Farmer: "You're choosing to exploit the ocean instead."
