Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

He's gifted audiences with memorable appearances in more than 100 productions, from Coen Brothers movies to the TV series "Severance."
Now, John Turturro, one of the great character actors, is playing a rare lead role in the crime drama "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York." The modest Turturro talks with Turner Classic Movies host @BenMank77 about what he looks for in a role, and how he measures success. cbsn.ws/4yVxmEq

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?
Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Corruption is so normal in the Trump Administration that officials don’t even get fired after being exposed for it.

4/ But it gets worse. Vitol had to buy access to Trump because under normal circumstances, they wouldn't be able to get a deal like this - because of the company's CRIMINAL HISTORY of bribing foreign governments.

We told you the Venezuela invasion was just corruption. It took one whole week to get the proof.
Trump took Venezuela's oil at gunpoint, and gave it to one of his biggest campaign donors.
1/ But when you learn the details, it's even worse. A short🧵on this corruption story.

A day I’ll never forget. 10 years ago today, we ran out of money. But I’m so grateful it happened as it forced us to go all-in on our dream.
The rest is history.

304 BILLION BARRELS.
That’s the real reason Venezuela matters.
Sky News just laid it out plainly: Trump’s Venezuela obsession was never really about drugs. It’s about oil, specifically heavy crude.
The U.S. now produces tons of light shale oil, but our Gulf Coast refineries were built for heavy, gloopy crude. They need it to function. And guess who has the largest proven reserves of heavy oil on Earth?
Venezuela.
Canada has some. Russia has some. But Venezuela has the most, 304 billion barrels sitting underground. That’s why tankers, sanctions, regime change talk, and now bombs.
It was never about fentanyl.
It was never about democracy.
It’s about feeding refineries, controlling supply, and locking down oil before rivals do.
