Calling out "Capitalist Mismanagement" is so based. They dont have an answer for this at all.

Dems should turn this into an ad

Buying rent stabilized property with the goal of lobbying the government to jack up working people’s rent is such scumbag behavior. Guy is already worth $100 billion but he wanted to put families out on the street to grab a few more crumbs. Sociopathic economic system

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

Melat Kiros: “We have socialism already. It’s in the roads we drive on, the schools we send our kids to, the fire stations we call upon. I’m just asking that we extend that security to our healthcare, to our housing, to our nutritional food, to our higher education so that we’re actually meeting the basic needs of everyday working families in this country”

even if you don't believe in prison abolition, the question must be asked, what purpose do they serve? if it is to rehabilitate, they've proven remarkably bad at their jobs. if it is to punish, they still do a pretty lousy job at that.

The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

[kafka esquire @Kafkaesquire]

If Dems take the Senate they have an obligation to deny any executive appointments until we get a Dem president. When a Dem president takes office they have an obligation to fire all conservative appointments day one.

This is what China did in 2009 when there was a similar scandal.

The Blackstone Group is the largest private owner of rent-stabilized apartments in New York City, not small mom and pop landlords.

Valued at $137 billion (not including the $1.3 trillion in assets they control), Blackstone is headed by Stephen A. Schwarzman, whose total yearly compensation exceeds $1 billion.

The idea of the "mom and pop" landlord being priced out of business because of a rent freeze is a myth. Small independent landlords (owning 10 or fewer units) make up only 1.2% of the ownership of rent-stabilized units. Meanwhile large corporations own 87% of those units, with mega corporations like Blackstone Group (owning 1000 or more units) controlling 56% of the market.

Mega corporations like Blackstone are pushing the myth of the small independent landlord to hide the fact that they and other mega corporations control the vast majority of NYC rentals.

And honestly, fuck them.

Boomers bought $70k houses while making $40k a year. They are trying to convince Gen Z that 700k starter homes at 60k income is the same thing.

They used Flock cameras to track him down and then the Judge says they don’t violate fourth amendment rights because they can’t be used to track your movement.
