Here’s a 5.9M condo in Manhattan. It’ll be bought by someone Mamdani/Hochul claim isn’t paying their “fair share”. They’ll pay a $132,000 mansion tax at closing. And then pay $5200 a month in property taxes. Mamdani and Hochul will now add another tax to this bill.

@FiredDetective It’s the police’s job to de-escalate. They are trained professionals or so they say. They have no right to abuse citizens.

It really is simple. Stop f**king resisting arrest. Stop escalating an encounter with the police. You DO NOT have a right to resist arrest.

NYC Mayor Calls Police Use of Force "Disturbing" and unacceptable x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@mdubowitz No they demolish Palestinian homes to make way for foreigners who were promised mythical lands in their dreams. They enable a brutal policy of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement carried out by a terroristic genocidal army.

You voted for more Israeli young men and women to be killed fighting terrorists.
Military bulldozers protect the lives of Israeli soldiers against terrorists. They clear explosive devices, expose hidden tunnels, remove booby-trapped structures, create protected routes for troop movement, and neutralize positions that terrorists use for ambushes or sniper fire before soldiers enter an area.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin@SenatorSlotkin
Today, I voted to block the provision of U.S. military assistance to Israel: 1,000-pound so-called ‘dumb’ bombs and military bulldozers. In the future, I will continue to assess U.S.-funded offensive weapons to Israel on a case-by-case basis, and I will continue to support sending Israel much-needed defensive weapons, like Iron Dome. I have struggled with these Joint Resolutions of Disapproval as much as any vote since I joined Congress. I represent a state with a large Arab and Muslim population and a large Jewish population. And over these last two-plus years, few issues have been as raw, painful, and personal as this one. Throughout that time, I have worked hard to call balls and strikes based on my experience and the facts on the ground, even when some are reluctant to consider new information. My entire life, I have been -- and continue to be -- a strong supporter of a Jewish and democratic State of Israel. The people of Israel, like all people throughout the region, deserve long-term security and peace. But being pro-Israel today is not about simply supporting the political or military agenda of Prime Minister Netanyahu, just like being pro-American should not be equated with loyalty to President Trump. This is a complex truth that many of us who support Israel hold, and it applies to my own patriotism and government as well. I can support the security of a country without supporting the specific policies of any one political party or leader. And if Israelis can take part in rigorous debate and protests of their own government’s policies, Americans supportive of Israel can do the same thing. I have no love lost for the Iranian regime or their proxy groups like Hezbollah. I know firsthand from three tours in Iraq alongside our military how Iran is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and thousands more civilians in the Middle East. But President Trump committed the U.S. to a war of choice against Iran, alongside Israel, with no evidence of an imminent threat, no clear objectives, and without Congressional approval. Seven weeks in, he has yet to provide a strategy for this war or a clear path to get out of it. So just as I am against more U.S.-funded weapons to Israel today, I am also deeply skeptical of more U.S. funding for the Iran war, which reportedly could be anywhere between $50 to $200 billion, on top of $1 trillion provided to the Pentagon last year. Every American should be invested in the U.S. ending this war with the least possible loss of blood and treasure. It is my hope that we can get a comprehensive and durable ceasefire as soon as possible.

It’s disturbing watching a politician specifically name a private citizen that is targeted by a policy.

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

In 2021 our portfolio company Fridge No More raised $19M and opened 49 stores in NYC, employed 300 people and was able to deliver goods to your door in under 15 minutes, paying above minimum wage to couriers (they were actually so happy with their jobs they offered to work for free when the company couldn’t get funding). Unlike Mamdani’s store they had to pay rent and taxes.
This is $387K per store including all the R&D, CapEX, and a central processing facility.
Somehow when a socialist politician is trying to do that it’s 100x more and takes 3 years. Remember my words it will not end at $30M. Very soon they’ll ask for more.

@jpodhoretz According the @grok Griffin is already paying ~$841,000 per year in property taxes.

Just to explain: These apartments he's luxury-taxing--their owners are ALREADY PAYING ENORMOUSLY HIGH PROPERTY TAXES. There's a term for this. It's called double taxation. There's another term for it. It's theft. There's a third term for it. It's Communism. If Mamdani could send them to a kulak camp, he would.

@CoreyWriting I agree. Anyone who supports the terrorist IDF organization should be expelled from congress.

Hot take: Terrorism supporters don't belong in Congress.

@SruliFruchter What’s the problem here? Praising the death of baby killers and a genocidal army is a problem how?

There are a number of videos circulating online of an incident that occurred yesterday inside a store in Brooklyn involving two members of the NYPD.
As I said at a press conference earlier today, these videos are deeply disturbing, and the matter is under active investigation by the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau. The officers in question are modified. Their guns and shields have been removed.

You know we can just leave, right? New Yorkers are not chained to this state.
Over 1 MILLION New Yorkers have moved out of state since 2020.
More than 415k New Yorkers fled in 2024 ALONE.
You won’t be able to tax a class that no longer exists in New York. Bye! 👋

We will be taxing the ultra-wealthy and global elites.

I can understand criticism of Israel, but at what point do we acknowledge that these Leftists are literal terrorists

I got a call tonight from a constituent whose son is in federal prison
He explained that he hasn’t heard from his son in several days (which is unusual for him), that his son suffers from multiple, potentially life-threatening health conditions that are going untreated in prison, and that he needed to know whether his son was still alive
He sent me the main switchboard number for the prison in question (which is on the east coast), and I called the number
Someone answered almost immediately
I explained who I was and why I was calling, and in particular that I needed to know whether this particular inmate was alive and well
The guy scolded me three times for calling “too f***ing late” and refused to tell me anything
Only when I persisted did he agree to check his records to confirm that the inmate in question was alive and well
After checking a list briefly, he came back to the phone and said “he’s here, and he’s alive and receiving the treatment he needs”
(His parents assure me that that’s simply not true)
I asked politely if someone could leave the inmate a message asking him to call his parents in the morning
He said, “it’s too late”
I responded, “I don’t mean now, I mean in the morning”
He scolded me again for calling too late, and then told me I’d have to call tomorrow and track down the inmate’s counselor
I asked him if he could relay the note to the counselor for me
He scolded me again for calling too late and asked me to call back tomorrow to track down the inmate’s counselor
I asked for the guy’s name
He refused to answer
I asked for his name again
He hung up on me
That’s not okay
Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve had this experience when talking to people from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons on behalf of constituents with an incarcerated family member suffering from a severe medical condition
And each occasion, I’ve been treated at best with dismissiveness and at worst with contempt and profanity
Has anyone else experienced this with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons?
