I lead a research service for Puerto Rico bondholders. Former contributor to Reuters.
Justice Kavanaugh concurs. He'd take this case. He clearly wants to explain why Humphrey's Executor is overruled. And I'm interested to see the forthcoming merits opinion.
Sometimes you have to just stand back and marvel at what some people can achieve. A dear friend of @emiratesteamnz from our time in Barcelona, @daniapich today became the first blind person to sail around the Isle of Wight solo. It took him 13 hours 8 minutes – in his rudderless,…
You’re a freakin’ liar auditioning for President. I never said that. What I did do, after years of liberal government weaponization, was call for federal and state judges to do the right thing and release ALL available Epstein information. Here’s a copy. 👇 Senate Dems objected.…
On blocking the Epstein files release: “What we’re simply trying to do here is give President Trump cover.” - Senator Markwayne Mullin They aren’t even trying to hide it.

I can’t stop thinking about this talk last night by @michaeljknowles at the Napa Institute. He had loads of data that all told the same story-Gen Z is absolutely enamored by the beauty of the Christian West.
I support this executive order to commit homeless people, who often suffer from drug addiction and mental illness, to institutions where they can be cared for. We obviously cant replicate the failed institutional models of the past decades. We need new supportive solutions. But…
New Trump executive order "ending crime and disorder on America's streets" seeks to shift homeless individuals into "long-term institutional settings for humane treatment."
Puerto Rico Energy Bureau gives the transmission & distribution operator of the electric utility 5 days to explain why they have not begun installing 110MW of battery storage approved in April, 2024 #muniland. The operator, Luma $PWR, said they are waiting for the P3 authority to…

Most of the papers that said tariffs would damage the U.S. economy attributed the damage to what they saw as inevitable retaliation, an assumption I repeatedly criticized as not based on economics but politics (that economists were not qualified to judge).
.@carney: Trump’s new trade agreements are the most direct real-world application to date of a once-theoretical idea in economics—optimum tariff theory—and they expose how mistaken the academic consensus has been for decades. From the latest Breitbart Business Digest (🔗 ⬇️)
Why the 2008 crisis is far from over 👇 1/2 Now that @robilypj and Carlo Palombo have been exonerated it’s worth remembering that absolutely nobody faced criminal charges at the executive level for what happened in 2008. On the contrary, 17 years later, we are only now…

Congratulations to @DavidSacks for spearheading the efforts at the White House to create a broad runway for America to dominate in AI. President Trump signs executive orders and hands the pen to Sacks 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

"As a result of the impasse, the Puerto Rico govt is in talks with four other companies to provide LNG under 30-day emergency contracts, Linares said. Those deals would likely require paying a fee to use New Fortress’ LNG-receiving infrastructure in San Juan." #muniland

I have been very curious about what happened to all of the wealth that is being siphoned out of Puerto Rico, and why so much of the money over the last 10 years has gone to lawyers and consultants, so I did some digging. Joseph M. Leccese, the Chairman Emeritus of Proskauer Rose…
The deeper I dig into Puerto Rico’s power crisis—and last week’s pathetic excuse for a Congressional hearing that I reported on (see below)—the more infuriating it gets. Puerto Ricans are stuck with the worst electric grid in all of the US and its greater territories. Blackouts…
Puerto Rico Energy Czar says he didnt participate in negotiations w/ New Fortress Energy re their proposed 15 year exclusive contract which the OBoard has questioned. OBoard reminder: Congress gave you extraordinary subpoena power for situations like this 48 USC 2124 #muniland

Title 3 court returns to issue of Prepa admin expense claim. Judge Swain has not decided if matter can be decided as a matter of law but the bondholders want to bring certain facts forward since we're in year 9 of the Prepa bankruptcy #muniland. Margaret Dale of Proskauer says…
