❓ Anyone know what % of total revenue major food delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) make from NYC specifically?
Not asking about NYC market share—looking for how much NYC contributes to their overall revenue. Bonus if you’ve seen this for other top cities too! 🗽📊

Schoolhouse Rock said bills come from people calling their congressman with ideas. So… does that mean the 30,000 Americans making $10M+—out of 245M eligible voters—are the only ones who know how to get ahold of Congress?

Meet Bob. Bob runs a private equity firm. His fund made $500M last year. Companies cut jobs, got tax breaks, and boosted profits. Bob paid 20% tax on his share. Management got bonuses. Workers got left behind. So—why should Bob get it all instead of paying a fair share?

The country is being treated like a portfolio company—gutted to maximize the sale price, with the mindset that it’s the next buyer’s problem. Except we are the next buyers. We’re about to be left holding the bag: suffocating debt, crumbling infrastructure, and only a memory of what once was.

When Donald Trump sued me and others for RICO, we didn't settle. We fought and won. Perhaps the legacy media should give that a try and stop debasing itself.

Hey Congress—our country’s in debt every way imaginable. Try this: “Sorry billionaires, we can’t afford it now.” No excuse not to tax literal billionaires. Be the ones remembered for saving us. Stop rushing. Didn’t your parents teach you to read before you sign?

Great leaders do not control every event, but they own their response. They own their choices. They own the impact of their decisions.
Congress is at its best when its members remember this simple truth: You were elected not to protect yourself, but to serve the people who entrusted you with power.

I’m genuinely baffled—why would anyone support a provision in the reconciliation bill banning states from regulating AI for 10 years? Everyone I know agrees that’s bad… though I guess I don’t know any AI company owners.

We’re criticizing a local candidate for a made-up foreign policy stance, while ignoring the people who actually shape those policies. Meanwhile, NYers of every race, religion, and creed are just trying to stay safe, housed, and here. Guess it’s easier to invent outrage than fix real problems.
