A year ago as I loudly and publicly called on Biden to step aside, many friends told me to shut up because I was hurting our party – instead, we needed to unite to defeat Trump and Trumpism. My response was: I STRONGLY disagree. Uniting behind a deeply flawed candidate is a GIFT…
I watched South Park (on Paramount+) for the first time last night after a friend told me I MUST watch the first episode of the new season - and he was right. It's a BRILLIANT skewering of the Malignant Toddler! Trump fumes over ‘South Park’ roasting him, depicting him in bed…
Good for @BillAckman for drawing attention to this disgrace. I followed (and warned my readers about) Trevor Milton and the scam he ran at Nikola, highlighting @NateHindenburg's outstanding work.
.@TuckerCarlson is now platforming a convicted corporate stock market fraudster.
A well-deserved smack! Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesperson for Obama, said in a statement that while the office “does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,” the administration’s new “bizarre” and…
I just finished reading (listening to) my friend Kate Grant’s inspiring new book, No Woman Left Behind: A Journey of Hope to Heal Every Woman Injured in Childbirth (amazon.com/No-Woman-Left-…), about her work leading the Fistula Foundation. After my parents, who were living in…
Lake Silvaplana (a few miles from St. Moritz) is one of the top kiting/windsurfing spots in the world (despite the frigid waters that require thick wetsuits). I counted roughly 100 kites (almost all with foil boards) and a dozen windsurfers out there today - I wanted to join…
Greetings from Warsaw! I just finished a three-day trip to Kyiv to see friends and deliver $200,000+ of aid (mostly vehicles, drones, thermal scopes, and night vision) from my many generous American friends to my very many lbrave and inspiring Ukrainian friends. There are still…
I was quoted in this WSJ article: New York’s Financial Crowd Rushes to Build Anti-Mamdani War Chest: "Immediately after Election Day last month, Democratic primary candidate and former hedge-fund manager Whitney Tilson wrote in a message to supporters that he expected more than…
More kudos to Michelle Tandler for uncovering and posting the truly radical, extremist views of Mamdani’s father (it speaks volumes about Columbia that they granted tenure to someone spewing this hateful gibberish):
"Suicide bombing needs to be understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.” Columbia Prof Mamdani wrote this. His son, NYC mayoral-candidate Zohran, refuses to condemn "Globalize the intifada." Coincidence?
Kudos to Michelle Tandler for uncovering and posting the truly hateful, radical, extremist views of Mamdani about the police:
The biggest risk of a Mamdani mayorship? Mass exodus from the NYPD. This occurred in SF under the radical left DA, Chesa Boudin. When police aren't supported, they quit, retire early, or never join in the first place. Here's what Mamdani has said about the NYPD. 🧵
Bill Ackman with a clear and compelling argument against Mamdani (albeit responding to a fake account):
I am not opposed to your being mayor due to your religion and I have never suggested that. Nor have I ever said that you are not an American or should be silenced. These are all false narratives that you are trying to create. To the contrary, I have been doing my best to…
I love this story – it has 300,000 likes! She is my buddy Dewitt Fleming’s wife. You can watch it here: instagram.com/reel/DLJQqtnN4… Here's an article about it: today.com/parents/moms/b…
That’s a wrap… polls are closed! Grateful for every conversation, every handshake, and every ounce of belief you put into this campaign. We did this together.
I'm out here canvassing with my buddy @AaronTabackman - the polls close in three hours at 9pm!
Running to be your mayor has been the honor of a lifetime. Together, we made the case for lowering rents by unleashing the private sector, making crime illegal again through actual enforcement, and especially, fixing our failing public schools so all New York City children can…
It’s the first time I’ve ever voted for myself. It was sort of cool seeing my name on the ballot!
