A major Wall Street powerhouse is weighing a southern escape as New York City’s new mayor talks about soaking big business with taxes. Apollo Global Management, a $900 billion asset manager, is plotting a second US headquarters in the Sunbelt just as Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes to hike taxes on deep pocketed corporations. The CEO of Apollo specifically cited the hostile NYC government as the reason for the move.

Buried deep in the “housing bill” is a clause that green-lights a CBDC — so long as banks get a cut. Total surveillance, but with a processing fee. This would be a disaster for privacy and freedom if it passes.

Peter St Onge, Ph.D.

Congress is trying to sneak a CBDC into their must-pass housing bill. It would replace the US dollar with a government-controlled crypto-token that 80% of voters reject.

ROBERT MUELLER, FORMER FBI DIRECTOR AND SPECIAL COUNSEL, DIES AT 81 Robert Mueller, a former FBI director who led the investigation into allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, has died, his family confirmed to CBS News on Saturday.

4 BIG TAKEAWAYS FROM TULSI GABBARD’S TESTIMONY ON CAPITOL HILL (The Daily Signal) The House Committee on Intelligence interrogated Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe on Thursday over the conflict with Iran, looking to to pin the intelligence chiefs down on President Donald Trump’s plans in the ongoing military campaign against Iran.

JAMES COMEY SUBPOENAED IN TRUMP-APPOINTED PROSECUTOR'S 'GRAND CONSPIRACY' PROBE Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in connection with a wide-ranging investigation being run by a Trump-appointed federal prosecutor in Florida, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News Thursday. The probe, which focuses on an earlier investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and other prosecutions related to President Donald Trump, is being led by Jason A. Reding Quiñones, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. The sprawling probe has been dubbed a "grand conspiracy" investigation by Trump allies.

Sam Altman just stabbed Microsoft in the back. Microsoft owns about 25% of OpenAi and is the largest investor. The deal was, "we fund you, you use our Azure datacenters". OpenAi just signed a $50 billion deal with Amazon Web Services. Microsoft executives argue that a recent deal making Amazon Web Services (AWS) the "exclusive third-party cloud provider" violates the spirit, and potentially the letter, of Microsoft's exclusive partnership with ChatGPT. Under existing terms, Microsoft maintains that all access to OpenAI’s advanced models through APIs must be routed through its own Azure cloud platform. While Microsoft has invested $13 billion in OpenAI since 2019, OpenAi was so desperate for money that they recently secured a $50 billion investment commitment from Amazon—comprising an initial $15 billion and a further $35 billion contingent on performance milestones through 2028. So OpenAi is trying to have it both ways, getting money from Microsoft AND Amazon, claiming they are both exclusive cloud service providers.

Dear former New Yorkers in Palm Beach, Miami and Naples Florida, Please come back to New York so we can tax you and send it to illegal aliens for their free hotels, free healthcare, fake daycares and fake hospice companies. Yours, NY Gov Kathy Hochul

TRUMP-BACKED SAVE ACT PROPOSALS ARE POPULAR WITH AMERICANS Several proposals in the SAVE Act, a bill backed by President Donald Trump that would change election rules nationwide, are broadly popular with Americans, according to recent polling. The Senate is expected to begin debate on the SAVE Act, also known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, this week—potentially as early as Tuesday. The bill passed the House earlier in March, mostly along party lines. It has drawn staunch criticism from Democrats who believe it would make it more difficult for Americans to vote, but Republicans say it would not do so and only make it more difficult for undocumented immigrants to vote.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO SLASH FEE TO RENOUNCE US CITIZENSHIP FROM $2,350 TO $450 The Trump administration has agreed to take a financial loss in order to make it easier for Americans to walk away from their US citizenship. In April, the cost to formally renounce citizenship will plunge from $2,350 to just $450, below the actual cost to the government of processing the requests – but fulfilling a years-long promise to reverse an unpopular fee adopted in 2015.

US JUDGE BLOCKS KENNEDY’S EFFORTS TO OVERHAUL US VACCINE POLICY A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked some of the sweeping changes US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy made to US vaccine policy, including an effort to shrink the number of vaccines recommended for children. In his ruling, US District Judge Brian E. Murphy said the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s decision in January to overhaul the US childhood vaccine schedule did not go through the proper legal channels and in doing so “undermined the integrity of its actions.” Full article: msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-judge...…
