🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Minnesota Democrats on the fraud committee have BLOCKED a subpoena into Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar's involvement in a $250M fraud scandal

She is refusing to turn over ANY documents regarding her fraud activities

DEMOCRATS ARE PROTECTING FRAUD.

"Investigators want to see her communications with a convicted ringleader of the theft from $250 million in COVID funds, that particular part of the probe. That money was meant to feed hungry children."

MICHELLE TAFOYA: "She has remained somewhat untouchable here in Minnesota. I'm not sure why that is. I'm not sure why we don't hold all of our suspected wrongdoers to account!"

"There is so much smoke here, and I want to find the fire."

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING

$CRWV

CoreWeave has a perfect technical setup from an eye-ball test.
However, it is missing the VOLUME.

Even though the chart looks great, nothing is confirmed until VOLUME shows up.
Until then, can stay very choppy and frustrating.

Credit to Mass Daily News for breaking the story. Boston city councilor, Ben Weber, who oversees the city’s budget process, has allocated MILLIONS of dollars to a non-profit where his wife, Alexandra Xan Weber, is an executive. Blatant corruption & conflict of interest! #mapoli

$NOW

ServiceNow and the entire software sector is trying to bottom.
Lots of volume and accumulation at these lows.
This where bulls are getting TESTED to see if this is REAL conviction.
They need to DEFEND and hold the floor.

If they can, the LOW is in forever.
I am still long on $NOW and other software stocks.

@_ThrillOfItAll @markkaplan20 What does your protocol look like?

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.

They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.

Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.

They lost them for two reasons.

The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.

In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.

Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.

That fight dragged on for years.

The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.

Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.

So now it's all gone.

The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.

Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.

Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.

But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.

Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.

And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.

Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.

Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."

There it is. "Billionaire-owned."

That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.

Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.

Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."

When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.

They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.

Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.

But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."

Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.

Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.

Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

So weird. Everyone knew it was a Nazi tattoo except the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

They knew but didn’t tell him.

Yes, he said that with a straight face.

Even Chris Hayes is like, what the fvck?

Graham Platner said his girlfriend and her friends may have known he had a Nazi tattoo on his chest based on the texts they were sending, but they didn’t tell him he had a Nazi tattoo and he didn’t know. This is a dumb answer even for a dumb politician.

How is it legal for a state government to pay legal expenses for noncitizens facing deportation?

At what point is all of this just insurrection?

[Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls @UNSRVAW]

This is deeply troubling.

I hope New York will step away from this move!

I wrote about the push to eliminate the word “mother” and mother-related terminology in law and policies; how it is linked to the devaluation of motherhood and women overall.

I will be presenting this report on “violence against mothers” to the UN Human Rights Council in a few weeks.

Nothing says transparency like writing a transparency bill in secret with no public hearing, passing it in 24 hours, blocking the courts from stepping in, and burying a loophole letting the Senate refuse an audit entirely!
