I hate corruption, especially when it allows monopolists to continue screwing over consumers. Live Nation/Ticketmaster is an abomination to concert ticketing and should have been broken up. But this corrupt administration always rewards its donors. Join us tomorrow morning!

YIKES! Lahn says "the tariffs are not the issue" when talking about farmers struggling with high input costs. Try telling that to Iowa farmers filing for bankruptcy at the highest rate in the nation. Out of touch.

This is missing the point. It’s not specifically about this threshold or this particular man. The amount of wealth and power that is now concentrated in a relatively few hands is, indeed, bad for everyday people.

I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.

Yup

In the last 24 hours, Amnesty published a report on Israel ethnically cleansing Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, and the Explosive Weapons Monitor reported that Israel is the world’s leading killer. The media barely reported either—because why would that be newsworthy…

“We’re used to people saying ‘f*ck no!’, and then doing it anyway” perfectly sums up how center-left and center-right parties everywhere operate. Which is why we’re in a populist moment

Genuinely this dude's entire fortune has been built on losing money, but convincing people over and over again that you have some crazy feature or product that's coming soon, but never actually does, and that eventually you will totally make money. Toyota made $25B in profit last year, almost 7x what Tesla made, and has a market cap less than 1/4 of Tesla. If Tesla had a market cap based on profit, it would be worth $40B, nearly 1/35th it's current value, and Musk's shares would be worth around $8B instead of nearly $300B. His entire fortune is fake.

This will be disastrous for Hollywood and you! Check out today’s @thefairfightpod. youtu.be/WTkjiWgBtbE?si=3gdI…

Republicans are such beta males. Can't even handle the slightest criticism. Is a wuss like @ZachLahn who you want leading the State of Iowa?

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…

Dan Goldman says he doesn't take money from AIPAC. In his latest FEC filing, Goldman received 55k from Better Blue Fund, an Aipac/dmfi front group that raises from the PAC's network of donors exclusively for candidates endorsed by the Israel lobby

Not “a Biden” — a specific Biden. Look man, you should start participating in public discourse, but fuck you if you think you’ve done anything of value that earns you a spot on a municipal ballot, let alone a presidential one. Take a hike back to obscurity.

All the people saying this were promoting Cuomo over Mamdani lol

Elon becomes the world's first trillionaire via an overvalued SpaceX IPO. It allows the billionaires who took Twitter private to cash out after new investors raise the stock price (a pump and dump), and now they're integrating it into indexes so retirees are left holding the bag.

"We used to wait in a line until the ticket office put up a 'sold out' sign. Now we keep bidding on our phones." The cheapest World Cup opener tickets would cost the average family the equivalent of 7 months of health care premiums. @owenslindsay1 on how dynamic pricing turned buying a ticket into an auction. nytimes.com/athletic/7270111…

The NBA just did something leagues almost never do: side against one of its own owners, in his own market, during the Finals. Live broadcast rights are the most protected asset in sports. Disney and friends paid $76B in the latest media deal partly for moments exactly like this. Bars need licenses just to show games. Yet within hours of James Dolan pulling the plug on the watch party outside his own arena, the league cleared New York City to stream Game 4 free on public street furniture. Dolan's stated reason for canceling: a 999-person cap was an insult when "we're about millions of people." So the city took him literally. LinkNYC runs roughly 2,000 kiosks across the five boroughs, built on the corpse of the old payphone franchise. Dolan controls the Garden. The city controls every sidewalk around it. One detail makes the whole thing sting. MSG requested the 999-person permit itself, then canceled when it was approved. Owners win these standoffs when they own the only screen in town. Dolan just found out the city has two thousand of them.
