People say the left and the right can’t agree on anything these days. But there is this one thing:

The dishonesty is breathtaking. These people are morally reprehensible! AOC calls it "a triumphant accomplishment." He did not accomplish anything. He inherited a $12 billion deficit, failed to raise a single tax he campaigned on, had his property tax rejected by his own voters and his own council, and then looted Albany for $8 billion in state money looted from taxpayers who do not live in his city and never voted for him. He deferred $2 billion in pension payments to future taxpayers. He cut $1.2 billion from the housing and education programs he promised to expand. Ratings agencies downgraded the city to "negative." He did not close the deficit. He transferred it to people who had no say in creating it.

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined. Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?” One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had. Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation. Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it. Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans. They conquered until they collapsed. America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined. And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated. Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.” Almost unprecedented? It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history. The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid. It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed. America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership. Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation. Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth. Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin. A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it. That’s not policy. That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything. You’re being told a story right now. That America is the villain of history. You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms. Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.” Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one. The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it. And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities. Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.” Probably right. China has historically built walls, not fleets. But the real question isn’t about borders anymore. We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet. AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint. If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be? The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to? Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy. Billions lifted out of poverty. All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before. And carries no guarantee of being repeated. The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb. It was what it didn’t do after.

Great job @PeteButtigieg !! Imbecile. You should call every single spirit airlines employee that lost their job due to your (and @SenWarren ‘s incompetence)

@SRuhle Just take the L Steph The Biden administration and @linamkhan had retarded policies based on an anti-capitalist ideology that did more harm than good. That’s it. It’s not complicated.

Elit seviye boks tam olarak böyle bir şeydir.

@PatrickMoorhead This is generous. She is just genuinely unintelligent. Dunning-Kruger Effect in its purest form.

Or it results in one bankrupt airline, another barely hanging on, less routes, and AA, United, Delta raising prices. Is she wrong on pretty much everything economically or is it just me?

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

The market is pricing SaaS like AI kills it Reality: AI kills weak (most) SaaS but supercharges the ones that own workflows, data, & transactions. NOW, SHOP, DDOG are not getting replaced—they’re where AI actually runs That disconnect = one of the best entry points in years

@wolfejosh 99%

what odds would you put of Bret Taylor selling Sierra to OpenAI + taking CEO with Sam moving to BoD? a) 0% b) 1-20% c) 20-60% d) 60-99%

@jasonlk not a day goes buy that we don't get inbound request for 'custom CRM builds' scale + entrenchment + inertia (+ they're 'trying' with agents) but when you pay 1/10 of $CRM for something that maps directly to your sales funnel and workflows... $CRM at $170B mktcap. NFW...

I could imagine a world where honestly only a few "traditional" B2B leaders survive: Salesforce ServiceNow SAP Shopify Oracle Datadog Databricks And everyone else atrophies slowly to nothingness Honestly not that hard to imagine right now, unfortunately

In 2021 our portfolio company Fridge No More raised $19M and opened 49 stores in NYC, employed 300 people and was able to deliver goods to your door in under 15 minutes, paying above minimum wage to couriers (they were actually so happy with their jobs they offered to work for free when the company couldn’t get funding). Unlike Mamdani’s store they had to pay rent and taxes. This is $387K per store including all the R&D, CapEX, and a central processing facility. Somehow when a socialist politician is trying to do that it’s 100x more and takes 3 years. Remember my words it will not end at $30M. Very soon they’ll ask for more.

I'm devastated by this news. I can't sleep. I'm so tired of the corruption in NYC. You can buy a fully operational grocery store in NYC right now for $3M — you'd be open and running in a month. Instead, Mamdani is blowing $30M of taxpayer money and taking 3 yrs to build a new one from scratch. There is no logical reason to build a $30M taxpayer funded grocery store, when you can buy 10 that are already built out, for the same $30M. There is a Costco and an Aldi less than a mile away. Easily accessible by the crosstown bus on 116th or via non-profits that deliver groceries for free. This grocery store isn't about helping NYers. This is corruption: payoffs to contractors, unions, local politicians, and insiders. Why waste $30M when the solution already exists? NYC is headed to a very dark place. If you think corruption in MN and CA is bad... you ain't seen nothing yet. Get out of NYC asap. @BillAckman @RubinReport @NassauExec @elonmusk @apolloglobal

No one should ever resort to violence + this should never happen Unrelated and separately “[Proud at] how much I held the line on not being willing to agree to the unilateral control he wanted over OpenAI” So you’re proud you kept @elonmusk from keeping openai …open 😂

This mf is doing squats on the way to the moon and you need Ozempic

@provisionalidea You are wrong about this. Capital simply flows to opportunity risk adjusted. Regulation is the biggest factor in the risk equation and creates huge error bars. Regulation trigger happy places cannot compete for capital because of this. Even before the regulation hits.

Translation: I’ve identified where wealth exists, so I’m going to redefine taking it as “fairness.” No crime is being alleged. No rights violation is being corrected. The entire justification is that someone has more, therefore the state is entitled to it. Notice how “fair share” is never defined by principle, only by target. It’s not about equal rights under the law, it’s about unequal treatment justified by outcome. One group produces, another is politically selected to pay. And the quiet part: if this were actually about funding something effective, there’d be accountability for what’s already been taken. Instead, failure just becomes the argument for taking more. So it isn’t about justice. It’s about normalizing the idea that success is a liability and entitlement is a claim.

the venture capital bloodbath is coming and most vcs have zero idea agents will replace 90% of what associates and principals actually do: • deal sourcing through network analysis • due diligence via automated data mining • portfolio monitoring with real-time metrics • pattern matching across 10,000x more deals what exactly are you getting paid for when an agent can analyze every startup in your sector in 3 minutes? the entire industry is built on information asymmetry that ai just eliminated most funds will become algorithmic within 24 months the only vcs who survive are the ones who can actually build companies, not just write checks and send intros

The @nytimes writes a hype piece about a clear healthcare scam and at no point goes "hey maybe something is off here?" And people wonder why no one in the business world trusts NYT to be objective? You guys barely understand how anything works! It's embarrassing incompetence.
