@CUNY_Prof It’s gross and unprofessional… calling out a private citizen by name is ridiculous no matter how much money they have.

I am hardly in the category of wealthy people targeted in this ad. Still, this commercial disgusts me. Watching a politician gleefully celebrate taking constituents money is gross. And, sure, it starts with the rich, but that not only affects us all but eventually coms for all.

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

@Jason @ZohranKMamdani The bigger issue here is Democrats kowtowing to the DSA.

[ The Overtaxation Death Spiral ]
Ken Griffin, time to sell all your New York properties!
@ZohranKMamdani, congrats on driving countless affluent people out of NYC.
What will happen when the Zohran runs out of $5m+ homes to EXTRA TAX?
He will tax everyone with a $2M+ home....
and then he will take everyone with over $4,000 in monthly rent...
... it will not end.
This is the overtaxation death spiral!

Ruben Gallego has also committed mortgage fraud. He applied for primary mortgages in two different states.

So we’re just going to keep allowing this woman to break the law, right?

Ilhan Omar requested a $1 million earmark for a “substance abuse clinic” that was actually a restaurant run by Somalis
English
A few weeks ago, the Mayor of NYC announced a $38 million plan to replace the heat pumps at a local housing development.
$38M for 712 units means they are spending $53k per unit. (!)
How is this possible...?
This math does not make sense.
English
This is purposefully misleading. Giving the government more money doesn’t guarantee they will do the right things with it. The rich will move away and you will be taxing the middle class which is people like me who are already struggling right now. We’ve seen this before!

It’s tax day. You paid your taxes. But the rich and big corporations didn’t pay what they owe. That’s why our SIOs introduced the Corporate Fair Share Act to make corporations pay. Sign the letter in our bio to tell Hochul to tax the rich & corporations!
English
@LibertyValkyrie It’s actually worse than that.

Ilhan Omar requested $1M+ for a “substance abuse clinic” in MN.
However, after further investigation, it the “clinic” shared an address with a restaurant…AND, the top three officials of the “program” all lived together at the same residence.
Expulsion for Ilhan ASAP.

@GrageDustin If they’re receiving taxpayer dollars, they’re not immune from investigation just because the Rules Committee is either too lazy or complicit. I’m sure their grift is widely visible in public records.

Minnesotans lost $9B in taxpayer dollars to just 14 Medicaid programs under Tim Walz’s administration.
Today, every single Democrat in Rules Committee voted to block an investigation into that fraud.
Absolutely disgusting.

@BasedMikeLee According to their latest (and only) 990, Generation Hope MN reported $166K in revenue in 2023. 72% went to contractor fees. The executive director took home 26% of total revenue. $12K on travel. $2.6K on catering. $0 in documented program service expenses.

Ilhan Omar: “Can I get a $1 million earmark for a ‘substance abuse clinic’?”
Congress: “Sure!”
Ilhan Omar: “It’s really a restaurant run by Somalis”
Congress: ….
Earmarks are bad
This is just one of many examples that remind us why they should be banned

If you can afford a $5M second home in New York, you can afford to pay a little more.
@GovKathyHochul is right to target luxury pieds-à-terre - there are far too many ultra-high-net-worth individuals who game residency while still relying on NYC services. This is a fair, common-sense way to make sure everyone pays their share.

To all the critics of this plan:
Neither the private sector nor the public sector has solved the growing problem of food deserts.
So kudos to @ZohranKMamdani for not accepting the broken status quo and helping families get affordable food.
That doesn’t sound so radical to me…

The entire future of investment in New York City's housing is at stake, and it's all connected to one case currently being litigated in federal court.
Imagine investing $150mn into renovating a portfolio of buildings, according to state regulations that tell you that after doing so, your building will no-longer be subject to rent-stabilization (which is the only reason you make such an investment in the first place).
Only for the state to turn around and change the rules after you've completed the investment and renovations, restoring the building completely. And for the state to disregard all former precedents and to tell you, ex-post facto, that the regulations at the time weren't in fact binding and that your building is still subject to rent-stabilization.
That's what's happening in New York at the moment, and Peak Capital Advisors is challenging this in court.
The effects could be immense: if an agency creates regulations intended to incentivize investment in housing according to state legislation, but can then change its interpretation after the fact, forcing a company into insolvency, then why would anyone want to invest in New York City again?
New York needs more housing and developers want to build it. But they won't do so in an uncertain and arbitrary legal environment.

Insinuating Nick Shirley is a pedophile because he’s uncovering fraud in your state and then taking credit for uncovering that same fraud weeks later is absolute bottom of the barrel shit.
