DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Scott Bessent is the living proof of the old joke that the easiest way to become a millionaire is to start with $2M and lose half of it. He turned a $5.7B fund into $537M of value before he transitioned to a job on the government dime.
Bessent on Democratic voters: "These are underachievers who are jealous of those who want to go and work every day"

A man who aided US authorities by testifying against Mexican cartels was illegally removed *three times* in recent weeks — including to Mexico, where he had protection from deportation due to threat of torture/death. A judge in MD has ordered his return. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I sat down with Erin Talks Money—right here in Naperville—to discuss Social Security. At a time when the cost of living continues to rise, protecting Social Security should be one of Congress' top priorities. I get into how we can do that: youtube.com/watch?v=GJ5yFy_Ro18

Restarting a charred refining column after a strike does not restore its structural strength. Under extreme pressure, compromised metal poses catastrophic risks. However, verifying structural integrity requires halting production something no russian manager dares to do under Kremlin pressure. 2/
