This is a very important lawsuit. The purpose of the board bill to get rid of Interco Plaza wasn't just another goody/favor for a developer. It's about setting the precedent for selling off City park land.

The 8 billionaires are: Musk, Ellison, Bezos, Page, Brin, Zuckerberg, Huang, Ballmer.
Each one saw their wealth explode as a direct result of the massive and unsustainable AI bubble.
Let's resolve to remember that when their bubble bursts all over working people in 2026.

"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

One thing I wish I'd added is that in Trump's first term, the Democrats should have impeached Trump for abuse of the pardon power. It was one of his most dangerous offenses, and they ignored it, which created a terrible precedent. They could impeach him for abuse of the pardon power now.

That’s where the culture wars come in handy. Distract people with fear so that they tolerate the money grab from tax policies that favor the wealthy and deregulation of consumer protections.
America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?
