You love to see it! An ancient trade route could bypass Trump’s tariff war, an insidious new version of noncompete agreements takes a hit, rental price-fixing algorithms get hacked, and a pork pricing scheme gets fried.

YOU LOVE TO SEE IT: This 231-Year-Old Law Could Bypass Trump’s Tariffs

An Indigenous group pokes a hole in Trump’s tariffs, the country’s biggest landlords are shaken up, one state kills debt traps, and pig processors pay up.

Shapiro has done alot of good so far, but he has also handed over communities, like Dimock, PA to the devastation of the gas industry. Look to the underlieing causes of political corruption; now especially Big Gas/Oil, and their subsidiaries.

A new Fox News poll puts Zohran Mamdani above 50%, and *gaining* since Eric Adams' withdrawal. He has 10 points more than the combination of Cuomo and Sliwa.

Mamdani 52%
Cuomo 28%
Sliwa 14%
Adams still at 2%

(Last month: Mamdani 47%, Cuomo 29%, Sliwa 11%, Adams 7%.) www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

amazing opening

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. You’d be New York City’s first Muslim mayor. You’d be its first democratic socialist mayor.

I wouldn’t actually be the first democratic socialist mayor.

Who would it be?

David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist.

Thank you for the correction.

Very welcome.

We agree that what has been happening to cities because of Trump is un-American, Unprecedented and uncalled for. Similarly Universities can not function without free speech and independence from government control. Remember that Trump usually backs out of his promises to give you money.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

That is correct. This pipeline will hurt the environment in Virginia & North Carolina at a time when the rest of the world is turning to cleaner, cheaper energy sources than gas. Don't destroy our land for this wasting asset.
