*BLACKROCK’S $26 BILLION PRIVATE CREDIT FUND LIMITS WITHDRAWALS
This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

Why Rep. Greg Landsman thought talking on the phone with Isaac Chotiner was a good idea still baffles me.
I would've immediately resigned from Congress and retreated into the abandoned Cincinnati Subway, never to be seen again

I run this calculator in my mind every year when selecting a plan on marketplace, and I approve this message.
One. Mamdani is so good at this.
Two. Co-op housing is the project he used to build a bridge. Co-ops don’t fit in a neat ideological box and bring material gains (and power!) to the working class.
The hashtag #news is doing a lot of work here
