Non-residents who spend millions of dollars on NYC apartments help drive NYC’s economy. Most of the profit in condominium development is in the penthouses. The Ken Griffins of the world make NYC high end development viable, driving high-paying construction, brokerage, legal, marketing, and other jobs in NYC. We should be applauding Ken for spending $238 million in NYC, not attacking him for doing so. Importantly, non-resident owners of NYC apartments who leave their apartments vacant for much of the year are not a burden to NYC schools, services, or other resources while they drive growth in retail sales, restaurants, theater, and other important drivers of our economy. They also often support NYC non-profits with donations. Ken’s company is a major employer in NYC of very high paying jobs which drive a considerable amount of our tax base. We wouldn’t want him to move even more employees to Miami. These non-resident owners also already pay a lot of taxes including mansion taxes, real estate taxes, sales taxes and more. While @NYCMayor Mamdani likes the tag line ‘Tax the rich.’ Unfortunately, his policies will harm the constituencies he is supposedly trying to help. I can’t imagine the NYC construction unions are excited about his plan.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Michael Cargill, owner of Central Texas Gun Works, says two of his employees were involved in the shooting. He says one is in the hospital, the other is being charged with murder. He says altercation that led to the shooting happened because a group of 12 people mistook them for other people in an earlier altercation, and shots were fired out of self defense. @cbsaustin

One person is dead, and multiple others were injured in a shooting outside an East Austin cocktail bar Friday night, according to the Austin Police Department. MORE: cbsaustin.com/news/local/pol…

Gov. Mills didn’t pull out of a debate –she was never even scheduled to be there. Misinformation spread by orgs like Dropsite is intended to sabotage the Dem primary. pressherald.com/2026/04/06/cri…

.@monacharen: Even if it were true that Dems would profit electorally by becoming a little more hateful, a little more misogynistic, a little friendlier to America’s authoritarian antagonists, a little more vulgar, and a little dumber—is it worth it? What kind of victory is that?

If the NYC fiscal crisis is so horrible that we need to raise taxes - we should also rent out Gracie Mansion. Totally cool with tax increases for the wealthy. Not cool to do so and keep the tax payer funded mansion for the Mayor to throw parties.

Imagine for a second that China announced that they planned to do extremely risky coronavirus research, and the entire world pleaded with them not to do it, but they did it anyway and said don't worry, it'll be fine. Then the entire global economy shut down. How do you think people would feel about China in that scenario? I don't think Israel or the US have any idea what's in store for us.

Cancelling Harry Potter because of Rowling but remaking/doing spin offs of Narnia and LOTR despite Lewis and Tolkien being two of the most prominent Christian figures of the last century who undoubtedly share Rowling’s views she’s been cancelled for. Make it make sense.

@STeeurbo White people are the top of the hierarchy of privilege when it comes to race. Christians are the top of the hierarchy when it comes to religion

"Jewish supremacy" is the easiest tell of when someone's Anti zionism is just antisemitism the equivalent to the right using "radical Islam" a decade ago, not distinguishing between religion and extremist ideology Especially since the vast majority of Zionists are Christian
Nick Cruse 🥋@SocialistMMA

The left needs to criticize Jewish Supremacy the same way they criticize White Supremacy. I have no tolerance for people on the left who refuse to bring it up We have Jewish Terrorists who were radicalized in Synagogues threatening the lives pro Palestine organizers Enough is enough

From what I understand Tucker personally advised Trump not to attack Iran and so did Charlie Kirk. That’s why they killed him!

Fantastic piece of cultural reporting by Robert Mariani in @tnajournal. He writes abt "Diner Gothic" as an emerging culture among downwardly mobile American young people. Really fascinating, and explains what I see when I go to Walmart back home visiting. thenewatlantis.com/publications/a…

FLORIDA@UF·
The University of Florida was recently informed by the Florida Federation of College Republicans (FFCR) that it has disbanded the local chapter of College Republicans (the Local CR).  This request is based on the FFCR’s findings that some Local CR members engaged in a pattern of conduct that violated its rules and values, including a recent antisemitic gesture. The FFCR also requested that the university deactivate the Local CR as a registered student organization while it looks to reorganize and pursue reinstatement under new student leadership. The University of Florida has emphatically supported its Jewish community and remains committed to preventing and addressing antisemitism and other forms of discrimination and harassment that are threatening and disruptive to our students and to the teaching, research and expressive activities of the campus community. The university also supports the rights of organizations, such as the FFCR, to take decisive action in addressing conduct that is antithetical to its principles. In compliance with its policies, the University of Florida is in the process of deactivating the Local CR as a registered student organization.  When the FFCR is ready, the university will also assist it with reactivating the Local CR under new student leadership.

Collins: Every senate Democrat except you signed a letter today asking for an investigation into that strike on a girls school in Iran. Why did you not sign that letter? Fetterman: The left media is much more angry about or talking about this hospital… I think largely that letter, it was rendered moot at this point..
