Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently got the political equivalent of what baseball players call a brushback pitch — a fastball deliberately thrown dangerously close to a batter’s head in order to intimidate the player, who must flinch or duck to avoid a devastating injury. The mayor is getting municipal chin music from the major bond-rating agencies: Moody’s formally changed its outlook on the city’s finances from “stable” to “negative,” and S&P Global Ratings opined that Mamdani’s budget plan will “make it difficult to sustain budgetary balance beyond fiscal years 2026 and 2027.” The negative outlook from the agencies is a warning, writes columnist Errol Louis. The next step could be a downgrade of the city’s bond rating, which would raise the cost of borrowing money for routine city operations. Mamdani maintains that the decision to revise the outlook is premature, pointing out that the city’s overall credit rating remains strong and has not been downgraded. But the message from Wall Street seemed crystal clear: Unless Mamdani adopts a more fiscally conservative approach, we will punish City Hall in the markets.

BREAKING: New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, & more.



Bernie Sanders wants to tax Billionaires $4.4 Trillion… As the Left claps for how awesome this is, let’s look at the math. Billionaires currently have ~$8.2T of wealth. Only about $1T of that is liquid. So he would be forcing trillions of sales to crash the markets. Then those sales would trigger capital gains taxes & more forced sales. As capital gets destroyed, it’s only a matter of time before those taxes get put onto millionaires as well. #SocialistNightmare



The trench run from STAR WARS. Still one of the greatest action sequences ever, Marcia Lucas' editing and ILM's practical effects work is a masterclass in filmmaking.
