Some men are builders. No matter where they find themselves they improve it. They fix, they tune, they calibrate, they innovate. They’re indispensable. He sits at the apex of “clean your room” mentality.
Given the news today that Spirit Airlines is shuttering and thousands of people are losing their jobs, I think we should honestly assess whether the Garland DoJ stopping the JetBlue merger with Spirit Airlines was the right call. Perhaps it was but any analysis must consider as part of the equation the loss to so many families ro decide.
The Cadets from Old Dominion University who stopped an active shooter, received 8 Meritorious Service Medals. Two of them received Purple Hearts…from the Sergeant Major of the Army and the Secretary of the Army.
Absolutely amazing and well deserved.
Housing has costs and NY has forced affordability on the rent regulated housing without accounting for it.
Now thousands of buildings are in distress and a rent freeze will threaten that very housing lawmakers want to protect. When 100,000+ apartments have expenses that exceed revenue, it’s a recipe for disaster.
If we’re serious about tackling the issue of affordability then government’s job is to reduce the cost to operate housing and target subsidies for tenants in need. That’s how we help tenants, improve housing and get on a path that is sustainable, not cheap political points.
New York is about to make a $28.5B mistake #QSBS
NY Senate Bill S8921 would tax startup gains that are tax-free federally and in most states. Retroactive to Jan 1, 2025.
The data on what's at stake:
1. $28.5B in NYC VC investment in 2024 (2nd in the US)
2. $174.5B in startup exit value over 6 years
3. 809,000 ecosystem jobs, $291B in economic output
4. A founder with a $10M exit would owe $1.48M in new state/city tax
5. NY already lost $111B in AGI to interstate migration over the past decade
6. The feds just EXPANDED QSBS benefits. NY wants to eliminate them.
7. NJ just adopted QSBS conformity. NY would move against its own neighbor.

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies.
But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.
"Saritha Komatireddy, a self-professed political outsider motivated into public service after the 9/11 terror attacks, had handled cases as a federal prosecutor against Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists before launching an accomplished career as a lawyer, including at the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The Manhattan-based mother of four, who was tapped by the GOP as its nominee last month, said woke and soft-on-crime policies are making it tougher and tougher to live in the Empire State.”
