Rent.

Not housing policy. Not the abstraction. Rent. The check that goes out the first of every month before the food, before the medicine, before the gas, before the kid’s shoes. The check that disappears into an LLC that disappears into a holding company that disappears into a fund that sits on a server in Delaware and answers to no one.

A third of this country pays rent. Most of them pay more than they can afford. They are working two jobs to send money to a man they will never meet, who lives in a city they will never visit, who has decided their apartment is worth eight percent more this year than last because the algorithm said so.

That is the fix. Day one.

Cap the algorithmic price-fixing the landlord cartels have been running in plain sight. End the corporate purchase of single-family homes. Tax the institutional ownership of residential property at a rate that makes it unprofitable. Use the revenue to build. Not vouchers. Build.

You want to know why people are angry. You want to know why they will vote for anyone who promises to burn it down. Look at what they pay every month to live indoors. Look at what is left after.

Everything else can wait a week.

@StealthQE4 Ok but what’s the polling on those god awful extensions.

Your law firm's culture is whatever you tolerate. Nothing more, nothing less.

[A. Mando @AMandoSch]

Being a lawyer is saying "I just need to get through this hearing/deposition/other appointment this week and then things will calm down" for forty years and before you know it you are 70 years old telling people that you have been practicing law for 40 years with no Bar Grievances filed, and finally your reward arrives in the form of a heart attack or a stroke out at your work desk and the state Bar finally takes an action on your status but it's just to mark you "deceased."

Caesars has unleashed a craps-playing Pomeranian to "cause mischief" on the Strip and promote the new Vanderpump Hotel.

Analysts are calling it their best marketing campaign in decades.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

This may be the closest we will get to the mob running Vegas again… and I’m here for it.

10 Wild Facts About Tilman Fertitta (the Guy Who Just Bought Caesars)

1. His great-great uncles ran organized crime in Galveston. Sam "The Velvet Glove" Maceo and Rosario "The Iron Glove" Maceo were Sicilian barbers turned Gulf Coast mob bosses who controlled gambling, prostitution, and drugs across Texas. His grandfather ran the operation alongside them. Their illegal casino, the Balinese Room, hosted Frank Sinatra, the Marx Brothers, and some of the biggest names in American entertainment.

2. The Texas Rangers raided the casino 64 times without a single bust. It sat at the end of a 600-foot pier. When Rangers rushed the door, a buzzer sounded, gambling equipment disappeared into hidden wall pockets, and the house band played "The Eyes of Texas" to slow them down.

3. The Maceos invested in the Desert Inn — the largest casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip when it opened in 1950. By the early fifties, the dealers and pit bosses who worked for the Maceos had mostly migrated to Las Vegas, taking the operation with them.

4. The Rangers finally got them on May 30, 1957 — by sending undercover detectives inside first. The Balinese Room was shut down for good. Tilman's great-uncle Anthony left for Las Vegas.

Tilman Fertitta was born 26 days later.

5. His third cousins are the Fertitta brothers — Frank and Lorenzo. They bought the UFC for $2 million and sold it for $4 billion. They also own Station Casinos.

6. By age 21, he had won a free Cadillac selling Shaklee vitamins door to door.

7. In 1993, Tilman tried to buy the Houston Rockets for $81 million. He lost — outbid by $4 million. In 2017, he came back and paid $2.2 billion for the same team. That was roughly 71% of his net worth at the time.

8. Because he owns an NBA team, his own casinos are banned from taking bets on Rockets games. He spent $2.2 billion to own a team and now can't take action on it anywhere he operates. After the Caesars deal, that restriction applies to a much larger list of casinos.

9. He is the current U.S. Ambassador to Italy.

10. He just signed a $17.6 billion deal to acquire Caesars Entertainment — the parent company of Caesars Palace, Harrah's, the Flamingo, and 49 other casinos. It is the largest casino acquisition in American history.

DACA recipients grew up in the United States. They’ve gone to school here, started families and careers here, and give back every day to this country.

Passing the Dream Act is essential to providing them the peace of mind and stability they deserve.

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty.

It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome.

As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry.

This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles.

The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.

A lawyer who understands people will often outperform a lawyer who only understands books.

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

Turns out that "gifted, high-achieving child" who finished assignments in 10 minutes, read entire books under the blanket with a flashlight, and was praised for being mature... was actually just an undiagnosed ADHD girlie operating on pure, unregulated hyperfocus.

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get?

LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.
