Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post 01:26 PM EST 03.20.26 Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP









Robert S. Mueller III was an unparalleled public servant across six decades of post-Watergate American history, when police and prosecutors modeled integrity and ignored partisanship. Mueller emphasized three tenets for a lawyer of good character: speakola.com/ideas/robert-m…

"I'd Like To Pay Their Salaries": Elon Musk Offers Lifeline To TSA Agents As Democrats Hold Paychecks Hostage In Shutdown zerohedge.com/political/id-p…



New York is about to make a massive mistake. The NY State Senate is advancing a proposal to decouple from federal QSBS (Section 1202) — the tax provision that lets startup founders exclude gains on qualifying exits. If this passes, founders would owe 10-13% in combined state and city tax on exits that are tax-free at the federal level and in nearly every other major tech state. Even worse: it's retroactive to January 1, 2025. This comes right as the federal government just expanded QSBS benefits and New Jersey moved to full conformity. New York wants to go in the opposite direction. As a seed investor in NYC who has backed hundreds of companies, I can tell you: founders are mobile. If New York becomes one of the most punitive states for startup exits, the best founders will simply build somewhere else — and the jobs, tax revenue, and innovation will follow. NYC has built something special over the last two decades. This proposal puts it all at risk for a short-sighted revenue grab. If you're a founder, investor, or anyone who cares about the NYC tech ecosystem — please sign the TechNYC open letter before Monday below 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Keep building, NYC 🗽

The formerly prestigious @WIRED is writing an absurdly reported story about Anduril, and despite repeated efforts to engage with Wired directly, they instead talked to anon sources and sent us a long fact checker list including the gem: "Sources told Wired that Grimm expressed his displeasure with the local chicken wings and left after lunch. Does Anduril have a comment on this?" Thanks for asking @peard33. I do have a comment. This is a serious allegation, and we will NOT let this accusation go unanswered. I enjoy any and all chicken wings. Traditional Buffalo style, Korean style, and occasionally even Jamaican Jerk style... Love 'em all. Tragically I'm getting old so I try to eat healthy most days, and thus I try not to indulge my love of chicken wings often. I don't recall eating wings, or anything specific about the alleged wings in question on this day at our rocket factory in Mississippi. As far as "leaving after lunch," the last flight out of Gulfport that gets you back to California leaves at 5:15pm, which usually means leaving the office by about 3:30pm latest, a bit earlier if you have to return a rental car. So you are correct, fact check: TRUE. 330pm is, in fact, after lunch. So in keeping with the recent tradition of high quality reporting, may I suggest the following art for your upcoming piece.
