Research is clear: millionaire flight due to higher taxes is simply not a thing. Millionaires move *less* than the rest of us and often move from one higher-tax state to another (because of amenities!). prospect.org/2025/10/23/m...

Millionaire tax flight would devastate a future Mamdani administration. If the rich leave, how could anything be financed? But research shows that wealthy individuals move at lower rates than others, ...

We’re currently spending an entire military aid package to Ukraine’s worth of money on a fucking ballroom.

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 4h

Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million

(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)

Just disgusting.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads:

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

I do not think "America always sucked so who cares if the elected President is destroying civic property to replace it with shoddily built palatial compounds, that's not important compared to ICE seizures" is a winning message.

1: it's all the same phenomenon!
2: Americans care about America.

I said this before, but it bears repeating: I was not firmly against Frey at the start of this election - I just knew Fateh’s track record of standing up for his constituents at the legislature.

Behavior from Frey’s staff & allies made me dislike him. Birds of a feather....

Senator Jim Abeler (R) and I agree - Fateh is a fierce advocate for his district. I think he will be a fierce advocate for Minneapolis with the cross-jurisdictional relationships needed to reform public safety, stand up to a hostile federal government, and support our schools.

Abeler gives Fateh credit for being a fierce advocate for his district and his community, and for recognizing when he had an advantage he could press.

Indeed, what others call hardball, Fateh calls doing his job.

“These big corporations and these entities that show up to the Capitol, they don’t have a shortage of voices for them; they’re going to be just fine,” Fateh said. “I like to stand up for the working person and the person that historically has been left behind.”

"I don't want to drop $100 on a video game" and "gamers are entitled whiners who are everything wrong with the modern consumer" are actually both reasonable positions. Reasonable to hold at once even!

NBC News finds that:
-- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six.
-- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam.
-- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph.

Some new ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting

The recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards, raising concerns about the agency’s rush to hire immigration officers, sources to...

For what it’s worth, the agreement - while very bad - is much less targeted towards trans students than I have seen in other college agreements. There is no definition of sex, no explicit bans (but one sort of implicit convoluted one), and even leaves an out for “relevant court decisions.”
