@JoshKale @JeffBezos thought that sending @katyperry into “space” for about 4 minutes was an accomplishment. Total PR stunt. @elonmusk is in a different league.

🚨 Mark Cuban endorsed Kamala Harris in October 2024..

campaigned for her.. appeared on her trail.. was one of her most visible surrogates..

18 months later he's standing at the White House next to Trump.. laughing on camera..

and here's the consequence math nobody is running..

Cuban built Cost Plus Drugs in 2022 to cut out the middlemen on generic prices.. Trump built TrumpRX to do the same thing for uninsured Americans.. the two platforms just merged into the same stage..

that means every uninsured family paying full price for fertility drugs or GLP-1s just got access to both distribution networks at once..

not because Cuban changed his politics.. because Trump didn't care that he hadn't..

the reporter tried to make it awkward.. "he endorsed Kamala Harris back in 2024"..

Trump: "Well, he made a mistake!"

Cuban: 🤣🤣🤣

think about what that means..

the fastest way to lower your drug bill wasn't a Senate vote.. it was two guys who disagreed on everything except the one thing that matters to your pharmacy receipt..

Trump has done this before.. First Step Act.. Abraham Accords.. every room where a former opponent showed up willing to deal..

the grudge was never the point.. the deal was..

and your prescription just got cheaper because of it.

I'll share more details shortly so turn on notifications, this is VERY important.

Musk v Altman wasn’t a loss for @elonmusk It was a loss for humanity.

[Rich Foster @GetRichFoster]

@BettelFos @MurrayHillGuy1 @NYCMayor Yes. They would say the person was aiming for the sidewalk and accidentally hit a Jew.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Where will AI be in 1, 2 or 3 years?

@BettelFos @tyleraloevera Maybe the US will be as smart and not let him back in here!

Referral agency opacity limits supply and choices in senior housing. Momentum in Georgia (SB 439 - unanimously passed!), Texas, and elsewhere for transparency bills shows the right direction—honest information lets markets work better for families and providers.

[Rich Foster @GetRichFoster]

Contrarian take: Pure ‘impact-only’ investing sounds noble, but Cedar Communities and AngelFire Ventures show that market-driven solutions—addressing aging demographics and real innovation—deliver sustainable, scalable returns. Profit with purpose beats virtue signaling.

[Rich Foster @GetRichFoster]

Poll: Biggest barrier in senior living today—overregulation, opaque referral agencies, or staffing shortages? Vote and reply why. Pro-freedom fix starts with bills like Georgia SB 439 for real transparency.

Protecting carried interest and QSBS (ahem - NYS) would unlock more investing across America. When investors are nervous, capital deployment goes down harming early stage companies. Pro-growth policies > Washington (or NY) mandates. Time to cut barriers.

[Rich Foster @GetRichFoster]

Red flag we spot often at AngelFire: Founders with weak or unproven management teams. Here’s our diligence process—reference checks, past execution, and alignment on vision. Strong teams beat flashy ideas every time

If Spirit Airlines fails, the blame will fall squarely on crazy Elizabeth Warren and the Biden Administration. Their anti-capitalist policies killed the Spirit–JetBlue merger that would have saved the airline and protected its workers’ jobs.

Warren is a nasty woman.

[Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital]

Trump gets asked if he would ever wear a bulletproof vest and says "I don't know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavier." The reporter breaks and she can't help but to smile and laugh. The best to ever do it. Raw charisma. Legend 😂😂😂

For decades NYC has fought to try and prove that these people WERE residents of NYC (how many days a year are they in NYC, etc…). Now, they are going to try and prove they are NOT in NYC. Everyone that spent money defending false residency audits should be exempt from this ridiculous tax.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

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.

Isn’t “pot hole politics” the same as “broken windows policing” @ZohranKMamdani ? If we can’t trust government to stop small crimes, how can we trust them to stop the big ones?

[Nicole Malliotakis @NMalliotakis]

New York City:

First you needed a vaccine card to enter a restaurant.

Now you need multiple IDs to shovel snow.

But somehow requiring an ID to vote is “racist.”

[Senator Tim Scott @SenatorTimScott]

You need to show your ID to shovel snow but none to vote? Can’t make this up.
