New @Groundwork report explains NYC's $5.4 billion budget gap, largely a result of the previous admin's deliberate undercounting.
Now we have a choice: a small tax increase on millionaires + billionaires, a property tax hike that hits working class homeowners the hardest, or deep cuts to services and further erosion of public sector capacity.
Tax the rich.

MARCO RUBIO: "We in America have no interest in being polite & orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline."

@SVRohr @BernieSanders In FY 2026, per CBO projections, the federal government spends about $1.1 trillion (net of premiums) on Medicare and $708 billion on Medicaid (federal share).
These are two of the largest federal programs, totaling over $1.8 trillion combined in major health outlays.
English
Health care? "You're on your own."
Housing? "Nothing we can do."
Grocery prices? "You're out of luck."
$200 billion for another war? "No problem!"
Americans—Democrats, Republicans, independents—are SICK AND TIRED of endless wars.
We need to invest here at home.

Excited to support the team here and inundate them with an obnoxious amount of LOTR memes.

@IanRountree @KTmBoyle Federalism doesn’t require me to be indifferent about outcomes. It just means I believe states should decide for themselves and I think Texas and Florida are getting it right. I do agree this administration is overstepping lines in many cases.

This is the reason federalism is so important. Individual states can become tyrannical but America still has an escape hatch that ensures the future of the whole country. If federalism fails, America does too.
We must protect Texas and Florida with all our being.

they flew to an impoverished prison state, celebrated the government responsible for a fifty-year humanitarian crisis, and painted the locals a mural with "notes of love." this is among the most vile kind of human the western world has ever produced.

Code Pink flew artists to Cuba to leave behind a “gift” mural. Maybe their base eats that up, but it comes off as pure performative cringe to me.

I can’t speak for @KTmBoyle but I can only assume when she says “protect” she means ensure those two red states maintain their common sense policies centered around free market capitalism that allows the businesses you and I are so obsessed with to thrive - which has nothing to do to do with the Federal Government. Similarly, the self immolation of the three blue states you mentioned has nothing to do with the Federal Government.

Back in my day, being a liberal meant:
- Do you and we won't judge (be gay, be black, be Jewish, whatever, do you)
- Crime is bad. Believing criminals should go to jail and are accountable for their own actions (because society needs safety). Families in particular need safe communities. And safe communities help poor Americans up level their life.
- Business is good! Growing business funds social programs. Pro business! We loved growth. We loved American companies who succeeded, because that helps grow future tax revenue. We believed the pie gets bigger.
- America, while flawed, is awesome. We still loved America and wanted to win.
- Legal immigration is a great thing. Brings smart people to America. Do more of this. More smart people, legally coming here.
- Illegal immigration is not a great thing, because illegal immigrants aren't paying taxes but pull on benefits...this harms the average American who relies on some budget discipline to afford social programs for citizens.
We are now politically homeless. It's sad.

The transformation of liberals into "progressives" since 2013 has seriously been the worst thing to happen to American culture in my lifetime. Just absolutely gutted so much of what was good about this country. End of a golden age.

@KaiserMachead @jeremyslevin @grok Also, “no kings but pls more money Mr. Multi-billionaire daddy Soros!” Give me a fucking break

@SVRohr @jeremyslevin @grok Incredible, isn’t it? These people complain about foreign influence while riding foreign billionaire money from people who want to destroy us.

@wolfejosh The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people’s money

It’s as if politicians plans (almost always Democrats) to just tax and tax its productive job and wealth creating entrepreneurs and investors…
…Doesn’t quite add up does it?

Starting in the 2027-28 school year, California will offer a new personal finance course to high schoolers and require it for graduation beginning with the 2031 class.
Every Californian should leave high school with the tools to manage money, avoid debt, and build wealth.

There’s not much of an argument against NYC being the best city in the nation and CA the best state. The democratic mobs running these states are aware of this and think there is nothing they can do that will actually break these two places. We are closer than ever in history to finding out how much high functioning people are willing to to take. European level taxes for South African level public services is not a winning strategy.

New York is about to make a massive mistake. The NY State Senate is advancing a proposal to decouple from federal QSBS (Section 1202) — the tax provision that lets startup founders exclude gains on qualifying exits. If this passes, founders would owe 10-13% in combined state and city tax on exits that are tax-free at the federal level and in nearly every other major tech state. Even worse: it's retroactive to January 1, 2025. This comes right as the federal government just expanded QSBS benefits and New Jersey moved to full conformity. New York wants to go in the opposite direction. As a seed investor in NYC who has backed hundreds of companies, I can tell you: founders are mobile. If New York becomes one of the most punitive states for startup exits, the best founders will simply build somewhere else — and the jobs, tax revenue, and innovation will follow. NYC has built something special over the last two decades. This proposal puts it all at risk for a short-sighted revenue grab. If you're a founder, investor, or anyone who cares about the NYC tech ecosystem — please sign the TechNYC open letter before Monday below 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Keep building, NYC 🗽
