NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.
Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.
Hochul hopes to raise $500 million annually that would be used to address the city’s deficit.

What makes this statue controversial? It’s a statue of a Texas Ranger. Literally what the team is named after.
What the fuck did you think a Texas Ranger was?
Stephen J. Nesbitt@stephenjnesbitt
The Texas Rangers installed a deeply controversial statue in their ballpark concourse this spring. And they aren't willing to provide answers as to why it's there. Yikes. Important work from @SamBlum3: nytimes.com/athletic/71975…

Tucker Carlson dismissed a Turning Point USA poll showing most young conservatives see Radical Islam as America’s top threat, claiming it isn’t true.
He added that he doesn’t know anyone killed by Radical Islam in the U.S. over the past 24 years.

Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna:
"The moment has finally come for national health insurance...we need free college and free trade schools."
We already have $39 trillion in debt and a $2 trillion budget deficit. How do we afford all of this?

“$3,968.20 per month. That's how much it'll cost me, my husband, and my 3 kids to have health insurance a month… that is just the bare bones minimum.”

🚨 🚨 BRAKING 🚨 🚨
Eric Swalwell has just announced that he has been impeached (Latin for “terminated”) from the Senate. This is a shameful day for our nation when a Senator gets mistreated like this. Here is why he must stay in office
1. There is literally no non-hearsay evidence of the allegations
2. His HIPPA rights have been violated by news stories made without his consent
3. He has total diplomatic immunity
We can only hope that President Trump vetoes this

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work.
When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by.
This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

Your thoughts 🤔 What do you think — genius loophole or is the system broken?
A 14-year-old kid is legally on the ballot for Governor of Vermont.
He can’t even vote yet… but Vermont’s constitution has no minimum age for governor. So Dean Roy (freshman, pizza shop worker) formed his own party and qualified.
His platform? Deregulate housing, push nuclear power for energy independence, fix healthcare & education.
This is completely legal — and completely wild.
A 14-year-old could theoretically run the state while still needing a ride to school.

@jonnajarian Hochul hates religion. Most leftist do, because leftism is their religion.

The mandates violate their Catholic beliefs on biological sex and human dignity, facing potential fines of $5,000–$10,000 per violation, license revocation, and jail time, prompting them to file a federal complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief in early April 2026.

You’re gonna throw your phone after you see this story. For 125 years, a group of Catholic nuns in New York have run a FREE hospice called Rosary Hill Home. They take care of poor people dying from cancer no charge, ever. Just pure Christian charity. Then Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law a few years ago that forces EVERY nursing home to use preferred pronouns, house patients by gender identity (not biological sex), and let people into opposite-sex bathrooms and spaces. The nuns said: “We treat everyone with dignity… but we can’t do that. It goes against our Catholic faith.” So New York is now threatening them with $5,000–$10,000 fines per violation, loss of their license, and jail time. These sisters who’ve spent their whole lives caring for the dying are being told: obey the gender rules or shut down. Unbelievable.
