Huge congratulations to the Pod Save Guys, the Abundance Guys and all the Democratic pundits who suddenly discovered Mamdani and started saying nice things about him less than 36 hours ago as soon as the Polymarket odds shifted - this victory is all you guys, great work

.@MeidasTouch, why are the California Army National Guard commanders obeying Trump’s patently illegal orders? Illegal orders are not to be followed.

[Thubten Comerford @thubten]

Why are the commanders following obviously illegal orders by sending these young people to Los Angeles?

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into LA County — not to meet an unmet need, but to manufacture a crisis.

He’s hoping for chaos so he can justify more crackdowns, more fear, more control.

Stay calm. Never use violence. Stay peaceful.

@AlexEdelman I loved Just for Us, and your interview with Marc Maron on #WTF.

Thanks for being so unapologetically and authentically yourself. Let me take you to dinner the next time you’re in the Pacific Northwest?

Try serving the people, and you will stop losing easy elections.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design.

But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️

I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway.

My biggest OSX feature request:

Make photos more accessible.

Getting photos in and out of the Photos app is challenging.

They aren't in the file system and the image format is weird.

This tweet is brought to you by me trying to send a photo in Gmail.

This is such an underrated aspect of the SBA 7a loan 😱

Small business owners can used it for just about anything

👉🏼 Buy a building
👉🏼 Buy a business
👉🏼 Buyout your partner
👉🏼 Open a new location
👉🏼 Refinance debt
👉🏼 Start-up franchise
👉🏼 Permanent working capital

The list goes on…

While the eligible uses of proceeds is vast, the loan DOES have to fit into one of the many “boxes.”

That’s why, when you call an SBA Lender, the first question they’re going to ask is, “what is this loan going to be used for?”

Here are some bad 🙅🏻‍♂️ answers to that question:

❌ cash out

❌ pay back taxes

❌ short term operating capital

My advice:

Before you approach a lender, decise a well-thought out plan that outlines exactly what the loan will be used for, and how much money you need.

If you’re interested in learning more about this topic, I have a video that breaks it all down:

I’m heading to Universal City for the annual ProVisors Group Leader Summit. While there, I’ll have some free time to socialize with SoCal friends.

I fly home on Wednesday, so if you’re up for grabbing coffee or a meal while I’m in town, please reach out! @DarrenMarble?

Getting to the airport three hours before my flight has its advantages, at least in Portland. I get to relax, and enjoy the gorgeous terminal prior to my trek over to the Southwest gates.

[Thubten Comerford @thubten]

@darrenmarble Stop starting, then buy a profitable business.

Many are wondering whether the Roberts majority will intervene in the election to “select” the next president, a la Bush v. Gore.

As if they haven’t already intervened repeatedly and profoundly on behalf of Trump—shielding him from prosecution via delays and the completely unjustifiable immunity ruling, and by disabling the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.

But, as I explain in today’s Weekend Reading post, as much as we worry that Trump will follow through on his pledge to be a “dictator on day one,” we have allowed Roberts’s “institutionalist” sheen to blind us to the fact that his majority has operated as an unaccountable dictator for nearly 7,000 days now.

Thanks to a corporate challenge to the NLRB’s constitutionality, labor protections for tens of millions of workers have effectively been repealed until the Supreme Court can weigh in on the meaning of two words in the Constitution. https://t.co/92jgJnO7Zo

Making money is the skill of:

1) Understanding the psychology of one person.

2) Creating a solution to a biological, personal, professional, or social problem.

3) Building, borrowing, or buying an audience comprised of mostly that person.

4) Iteration & persistence.
