Cuban-American households have a median income of about $71,000, while in Cuba it’s roughly $5,000.
That gap tells the story: freedom and markets lift people, communism stalls entire nations.
After 50 years of stagnation, President Trump has an opportunity to keep the pressure on and finally move toward a free Cuba!
The capital gains tax exemption ($250k/$500k) on the sale of your home hasn't been adjusted for inflation since 1997.
It would be ~$500k/~$1M today if adjusted.
With the housing boom since 2020, should Congress adjust it for inflation?
@elonmusk The problem is who would work jobs that aren’t replaced by ai and robots. How would this be made to motivate them. Basically universal welfare….
A food bank has been set up at Pittsburgh International Airport for TSA Officers and CBP Officers who haven't been paid in weeks as a result of Democrats shutting down @DHSgov.
It shouldn't have to come to this.
Democrats need to pay our workers and end this shutdown.
Democrats are making the heroic men and women of TSA work without pay for the THIRD time in six months — forcing 366 agents to leave the force.
This loss significantly decreases TSA’s ability to meet passenger demand and leaves critical gaps in staffing, as each new recruit requires 4-6 MONTHS of training.
Not advice: sailor “Trading #Bitcoin is like trading APPL, AMZN, Goog, or meta a decade ago. The more you obsess over timing the market, the more mistakes you make..They were all tech networks that were dominant & destined to grow. The best strategy is to buy BTC and wait.”

UK: A Brit posted photo of him holding a shotgun while on holiday in Florida, when he returned home UK police arrested him, seized his devices, jailed him overnight for violating the 1986 Public Order Act. The process was the punishment.
After sharing a photo of himself posing with a legally possessed shotgun at a Florida shooting range, a British man was arrested, locked in a cell overnight, interrogated, and lectured that he “must understand how posts make people feel.” Police seized his computer and phone, wiping out his ability to work. Weeks later, all charges were quietly dropped because they were baseless from the start. Critics say the ordeal proves the UK has turned social media into a surveillance trap where innocent people are punished by process alone.

The real estate market is in the dumps with high prices and still high interest rates.
You know what will get the market moving?
My bill, No Tax On Home Sales Act, totally eliminates capital gains taxes on the sale of your primary home!!
This allows you to keep all the equity you gained the years you owned your home, allowing you to come down a little on your asking price if need be because you will be able to keep all your equity gains!
So how do we get that bill passed you ask?
Well first, the House has to go back to work!
But I can’t get a chance to pass my bill without leadership deciding to bring my bill to the floor for a vote.
I bet you didn’t know that.
You see members of Congress have tons of bills, too many to count.
And the only way any of our bills get voted on by Congress is through leadership, they decide.
So if you would like no capital gains taxes on the sale of your primary home, please tell Speaker Mike Johnson!!!
