The need to turn over their capital on a 5-year exit timeline makes it challenging. Your growth model has to show how your use of proceeds hits their return hurdle with room and time to spare.

Unfortunately, institutional capital doesn't scale down in a linear way like you would think/hope.

Keep it school-neutral and you will have something. That's been the problem with vb coverage historically.

Democrats need to do this because it's what's happening. Trump officials are not only behaving outside the law, they're behaving as if they'll never be subject to the law. Dems must introduce friction to slow them down: Start announcing that blanket pardons for uncharged crimes will not be honored.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Over the past year, my 850-page Trump-Epstein Scandal epic PROOF OF DEVILRY—whose chapters get released as I have material to release—established that Trump took charge of hosting parties where girls were trafficked. 24 hours ago this bombshell dropped:

Per Zenith research: The Democrat in this race (a Biden State Department official who coordinated aid to Israel) *loses support* after folks learn more about him. But @ahlmanfornebraska.bsky.social (who just launched his campaign) not only gains support, he *leads the Republican incumbent.*

A…stunning campaign launch. "My dad got cancer & my mom's employer collapsed. The executives got paid & the workers got screwed. She didn't have the heart to tell us, even when the bank took the house…when she took her own life, the eviction notice was in her pocket." @ahlmanfornebraska.bsky.social

Are you trying to tell me an FBI undercover may have goaded a mentally ill man into attempting something they knew would be stopped with minimal effort or risk to principals?!?

"Life During Wartime" lyrics seem far more prescient than we knew in the early 1980s. The last minute of this Coachella performance takes place against a backdrop of last summer's ICE raids and anti ICE protests/stand-offs with police in: Chicago, L.A., NYC, and Ventura County, CA.

The Big West MVB conference tournament is at UC Irvine! I think CSUN and UCI may play in the first round, too.

Just to go back to basics: I once worked on a (winning) presidential campaign. Something too obvious for anyone to mention was: "Don't get into a fight with the Pope over who knows more about Jesus." These people are morons.

We spend so much time searching for what animates the MAGA mind, but it always comes back to the fact that these are just the dumbest people to ever hold power. If you took the dumbest person you know and put them in charge of foreign policy, these things would happen. No deeper than that.

As pro golfers go, he is okay, but definitely not one of the good ones unless you assign a lot of credit for talking about the importance of his religion.

Not one American should die for the Netanyahu regime. But more than a dozen already have, with hundreds more injured. And now Donald Trump is preparing to betray America yet again by sending our boys and girls to die in a foreign land for absolutely nothing. Impeach this man.

if you haven't watched "Too Funny To Fail", you really need to. The Dana Carvey Show was ahead of its time.
