2 for 2 for getting mergers killed and those companies going into bankruptcy. Nice job destroying @SpiritAirlines and @iRobot and thousands of jobs lost
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…

@DanWolken So basically they’re acting like every other sporting event in the country. Maximize revenue and forget about the real fans

Churchill has evolved the Derby to become a lifestyle event for the wealthy. They care about their stock price and squeezing every dollar they can out of this week far more than the sport or the locals.

NYT: As Kentucky Derby Becomes a Bigger Business, Locals Feel Left Behind - Locals say rising ticket prices and a late start time for the Oaks race on Friday are hurting residents and restaurants. “The only thing I see is greed,” one steakhouse owner said. nytimes.com/2026/05/01/bus…

Let’s be honest, most of them have no idea what these platforms are. How about they do the same for the stock market.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
Lawmakers voted to ban themselves from trading on platforms including Kalshi and Polymarket following concerns over insider trading. on.wsj.com/3QFOuNm

@chamath It makes you wonder if the approach by Apple may end being the smartest decision of all

Money is starting to flow downhill - a critical observation for the next few years.
The Mags may make all the money but they are spending it faster than they can make it.
Their free cash flows are cratering.
Best to follow the money and see who’s getting it. In this case, it’s following the AI trade and, more specifically, the data center and power economies.
Make money from capital light business models like ads and software, then redirect it to asset heavy, traditional infrastructure companies.
A complete reversal from the last 20 years is underway.
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath
Blockbuster earnings from the Mags…BUT the equal weight is massively outperforming the weighted index today. 🤔

@chamath Why would they send out new drivers licenses when the state doesn’t check IDs for anything?
English
Wow. Awesome. Thanks.
Please also raise my taxes and destroy my children’s education more than you already have so my family and I can stay impoverished, uneducated and in your indentured servitude while we carry your branding on us.

@AndyStaples I think people don’t appreciate hearing the song sin the venue compared to the radio / streaming. The experience magnifies it 10x
English
First of all, I’ll hear no criticism of Alabama (the band).
Second, the fact that Tennessee weaponizes DD (because the truck sex happens within Tennessee’s borders) adds yet another layer that makes the tradition even more fun.
AlwaysScoDucks@sco_ohana
@AndyStaples Better than Ari’s list, but Dixieland Delight sucks. Are all CFB “people” REQUIRED to pump up Alabama things even if they suck?
English
Totally agree. Maybe start going after the corrupt politicians insider trading
Anthony Pompliano 🌪@APompliano
It feels wrong that US military members are punished for betting on themselves to successfully carry out military missions, while politicians can bet on themselves through insider trading of companies they govern. Either ban both of them or allow both of them.
English
Or maybe they’ve over hired in recent years and it’s easier to blame AI than take accountability for poor hiring practices
@jason@Jason
did three wildly profitable companies cut 30,000 people today? Really? Tell me more about AI doomerism

If I’m Ken Griffin I move everything to Florida, Texas and states that appreciate his massive contributions to employment and our tax base.
@ZohranKMamdani @ewarren @hasanthehun and these lunatic socialists are trying to get successful people whacked.
That’s the playbook: vilifying success to the point of asset seizures and executions.
We are living in a very dark time.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
Exclusive: Billionaire Ken Griffin is appalled that Mayor Zohran Mamdani used his 24,000-square-foot Manhattan penthouse last week as the backdrop for a tax-the-rich video, and that has triggered a subtle threat of re-evaluating investment in the city. on.wsj.com/495DhvH

@slmandel Vacating wins is one of the dumbest “penalties”. Everyone knows the games actually happened so what are you actually punishing
English
News story on NCAA vacating four Iowa wins from 2023 over tampering violations w/ Cade McNamara.
Kirk Ferentz previously served a 1-game suspension. The school fought back against vacating wins.

@kclairerogers It is an interesting discussion. I personally don’t care what people do or post but it does feel that The Masters has turned more into a commercial / influencer event from a social media perspective compared to the mystique if you’re attending or a golf fan
English
Getting some DMs! If you watch till the end, I’m pretty pro “do whatever you want!”
I do think it’s an interesting conversation because every time I open up social media this week I see masters content, and then people policing said content. It seems people are more bothered by the posting of what others buy than the fact that it’s being purchased? Idk!

Masters hauls have taken over social media.
Have they gone too far?

@AndyBitterVT I’m surprised this wasn’t in the recruiting pitch when he entered the portal

I don't want to do people's jobs for them, but it'd be pretty easy to recreate Brown's Frosted Flakes leap in the Sun Bowl, but make it into a giant vat of queso instead. Just sayin'. #Hokies
Andy Bitter@AndyBitterVT
Today I learned #Hokies WR Que’Sean Brown’s nickname is “Queso” and he does NOT have a cheese dip NIL deal. Blacksburg-area Mexican restaurants, RIGHT THIS WRONG!

@vick757 1000% agree with you. The games get better every year despite all the noise surrounding the sports. There probably needs to be a few things cleaned up around the edges but that’s it
English
When I got tired of pro sports, I stopped going to games and spent more time working and spending time with family. I don’t invest more money and time into it. 🤷🏾♂️
Dwight Vick@vick757
Some of y’all keep saying college sports are being ruined but all I see is a significant increase in Podcasts, You Tube Shows, Twitter Spaces, and Articles constantly discussing College Football and Basketball teams, rankings, upcoming seasons and players. Ratings and viewership is up as well.
English
@slmandel I always have to laugh with the coaches or schools complaining about scheduling. Like what did they expect when they sold their soul to the highest tv bidder?
English
You can always choose to take less TV money. But no one ever does.

@MartySmithESPN Are you going to be doing the podcast for The Masters this year?
