Just fight crime.

New Yorkers are outraged tonight. Immigrant communities are terrified. And we are demanding answers. There is still much we don’t know about what happened in Marble Hill. But initial reports indicate ICE agents fired into a vehicle with a five-year-old child inside. Any trained law enforcement officer knows how easily that could have ended in tragedy. By the grace of God, that child appears to have escaped without physical injury. No child should ever have to experience the terror of gunfire, let alone wonder if they’ll make it home alive. As a mother and grandmother, I cannot imagine how frightening those moments must have been. New Yorkers have witnessed far too many acts of violence by a rogue federal agency and untrained agents that operate with impunity. Federal authorities need to provide answers, and they must do so immediately.

In a CNBC interview today, Bessent said: “We’re going to increase the size of the buyback. I would note that it could be more than the $4 billion per issue.” LL: MOAR!!!

If you hold power in the American government, your loyalty should belong to America. A federal judge born in Trinidad and Tobago, who pledged at her confirmation hearing to renounce her foreign citizenship and reportedly never did, blocked the Trump administration from verifying voter citizenship data through the SAVE database. This isn't the first case where a foreign-born in power made clear their loyalty is not to America, and it won't be the last unless we fix the gap in our Constitution allowing it. We introduced a constitutional amendment to close the gap. BAN FOREIGN-BORN JUDGES.

Mamdani just confirmed it…he and Kathy Hochul are in "constant communication" and he "appreciates her partnership." Two allies, comrades with one agenda, and New Yorkers stuck with the bill. When I am Governor, that partnership ends.

If the market knows it can buy $STRC well below $100, why would anyone buy it at $100? Where is the bid going to come from to sustain par long enough to accretively buy bitcoin:native over a long period of time?

I’ve spent a decade telling people to do what I do: "Buy and Hold." Now I've decided to list my entire real estate portfolio for sale and walk away. It started slow. The bills, the maintenance, the tax increases... but the final straw was when I tried to develop an ADU to do exactly what the city of LA claims it wants investors like me to do: Create more housing. You'd think they'd make it easier, but after two delayed inspections, a sewer pipe replacement that needed 75 days advance notice, and a city-owned tree that became my responsibility, I'd had enough. The identity of being a real-estate guy is very hard to walk away from, trust me. For a long time, I stayed just because real estate was my "thing." It’s how I started. It’s what I’m known for. It led to every good thing in my life. But that blinded me to the fact that just because something served me in the past, it doesn't mean things haven't changed in the present. The reality of 2026 finally stripped the emotion away. My LA rentals are netting about 4-5% after the constant background noise of taxes, insurance spikes, and repairs. Meanwhile, a risk-free Treasury pays 5%. The trade-off just doesn't make sense any more. I’m reallocating to a liquid portfolio that actually lets me focus on the work I love. I published a deep dive on my Substack about the ADU nightmare that broke my patience, the exact numbers behind the exit, and where I’m moving the money next to buy back my sanity. I'll drop the link here in a bit.
