Rep.-elect Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-Fla.), the first member of Generation Z elected to Congress, appears on the latest cover of Teen Vogue as he waits to be sworn in, a process delayed by the drawn-out election for Speaker of the House. “This whole thing feels really surreal. It’s crazy to think that the same streets I was arrested on two years ago [during the George Floyd protests], I’m about to represent in Congress,” Frost, 25, told Teen Vogue of his election to the lower chamber. The feature on Frost profiles his early interest in politics and activism, his upbringing as...

Carlos Beruff, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Florida, repeatedly referred to President Barack Obama as an “animal” at a county GOP meeting on Thursday. Addressing party faithful at a St. John’s County GOP gathering, Beruff accused Obama of destroying America and its military. “Unfortunately, for seven and a half years this animal we call president, because he’s an animal, OK — seven and a half years, has surgically and with thought and very smart, intelligent manner, destroyed this country and dismantled the military under not one, not two, but three secretary of defenses,” he said. “And they’ve...

Mark Cuban warned the federal government's abrupt and deep cuts are having spillover effects across the economy, eventually leading to a downturn. The latest jobs report showed solid gains, but it pointed to early effects of DOGE cuts and didn't capture the wave of layoffs that have come more recently. Meanwhile, Wall Street is pricing in greater odds of a recession.

**SNIP** Those busts included dozens of members of the vicious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua prison gang — as well as multiple MS-13 gang members — at least five “career criminals” nabbed by the Drug Enforcement Administration and scores of others wanted for murder, kidnapping, child molestation and more. ICE has shared daily “enforcement updates” on X since Jan. 23, outlining their daily arrest totals, as well as detainers lodged — formal requests for inmates to be held until they can be picked up by immigration officials. Through Tuesday, officials made 5,537 arrests and lodged 4,333 detainers, giving authorities a running...

A Myrtle Beach-area woman of Chinese and Cuban heritage is suing to get a spot on South Carolina’s Commission for Minority Affairs, claiming state law treats her as the wrong kind of minority. The lawsuit, filed by Sandy Chiong in federal court Wednesday, challenges the 1993 state law that created the agency, which requires a majority-Black governing board. The specification that most of the board’s nine members “must be African American” violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, the lawsuit claims. “In America, government positions are supposed to be open to all citizens — not restricted to members of favored...

Billionaire entrepreneur and “Shark Tank” star Mark Cuban has become a vocal critic of Donald Trump in recent years. However, throughout his public political clashes with the former president, Cuban has quietly owned a luxurious condo in Trump International Hotel and Tower on Central Park West for nearly 25 years, records obtained by The Post reveal. The Dallas-based mogul — who has thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris during the current presidential campaign — purchased the 3,700-square-foot property on the 45th floor of the iconic Trump Tower in July 2000 for $13.5 million. The white-glove condo, located at...

It is finally here, after years of anticipation, the election that President Donald Trump has called the “most important” in American history. Will the American people reward the Democratic Party with another term in the White House or will they vote for a change? After controlling the White House for twelve out of the last 16 years, Democrats own the problems that Americans face today from high crime to an open border to threats from foreign wars to economic misery.

Billionaire Kamala Harris surrogate Mark Cuban knew he’d made a major unforced error with his Thursday remarks insulting Republican women on “The View” — he came well prepared to an interview with a conservative female host soon after, The Post can exclusively reveal. “Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever,” Cuban declared days before the election on the ABC gabfest promoting Harris for president. Georgia radio host Martha Zoller had a unique opportunity to confront him, having scheduled an interview tied to a roundtable he was holding in the Peach State. The Talkers Magazine 2023 Woman...

PITTSBURGH — Mark Cuban admitted Saturday that the Biden-Harris administration should have acted “sooner” to fix the border crisis — while he was stumping for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Pittsburgh. “I would have handled immigration differently,” the business mogul said on the campaign trail on behalf of the Democratic presidential nominee. “And honestly, I think if they could do it all over again — and they won’t say it necessarily — they would handle it differently as well.”

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that if former President Donald Trump is elected and implements tariffs, it will kill Christmas. Cuban said, “I would do is ask them what they bought their kids for christmas last year? Then I go through the list and show them how many were made in China because most of them are. Then I tell them with Trump’s tariffs, all those are probably going to go up 60%, and you’re going to have to make choices. If you elect Donald Trump and he implemented these tariffs is that what you...

No, not her wealth, your wealth. Part of Democrat presidential nominee Vice-President Kamala Harris' plan to "transform America" entails redistributing some of the wealth. Two ideas that she is considering are taxing unrealized capital gains and increasing the death tax. Unrealized capital gains are increases in the value of assets like stocks, mutual funds, businesses, and property that hasn't been sold. For example, if the stock you bought for $20 a share 15 years ago is now valued at $100 a share on the stock exchange you would be assessed a tax for the $80 per share unrealized gain. Unless...

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban warned Thursday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ capital gains tax plan would “kill the stock market.” Cuban said, “What I told them is if you tax unrealized gains, you’re going to kill the stock market, and it’s going to be the ultimate employment plan for private equity because companies are not going to go public because you can get whipsawed.” He added, “Based off the unrealized gains, I would have had to borrow money and I effectively would have been in hawk just to pay my tax bill instead of trying to...

Billionaire Mark Cuban has spent the past few days on social media defending Kamala Harris' economic proposals — while scratching his head over Donald Trump's plans. Harris unveiled some of her policy proposals on Friday at a North Carolina rally. They include a federal ban on price gouging for groceries, a $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers looking to make a down payment, and a $6,000 child tax credit. So far, Cuban, who joined over 800 venture capitalists announcing their support for Harris in July, is gravitating toward her ideas.

Business investor and television personality Mark Cuban has high praise for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who was announced Monday as Vice President Harris’s running mate.

On Wednesday, radical, left-wing Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban went all-in for Joe Biden and jumped up to attack X owner Elon Musk for his strong support of Donald Trump. Cuban said he supports Biden’s bid for a second term but will blindly support whoever the party nominates if it replaces him. The NBA owner’s attack came after PayPal founder David Sacks wrote an X post listing the business leaders who have come onboard the Trump train—such as Bill Ackman, Ben Horowitz, Marc Andreessen, Doug Leone, Joe Lonsdale, Peter Thiel, Cameron, Tyler Winklevoss, and Elon Musk—and adding the message, “Come...

Television personality and investor Mark Cuban said Wednesday that Silicon Valley’s recent wave of support for former President Trump could be a “play” to boost bitcoin. Cuban, the pro-crypto billionaire who has backed President Biden’s bid for reelection, argued that the potential inflationary impacts of lower taxes and higher tariffs under a second Trump presidency could drive up the price of bitcoin. “Here is a contrary opinion on the emergence of Silicon Valley support for former President Trump. Which like all my opinions on here, probably won’t be popular,” Cuban wrote in a post on the social platform X. “It’s...

Mark Cuban said Monday he recently cast his ballot in the Texas Republican primary for former President Donald Trump’s last remaining opponent, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Cuban told Bloomberg News of his choice during a visit to the White House, as Breitbart News reported, making plain his antipathy towards the man shaping as the Republican presidential nominee for 2024. The 65-year-old minority Dallas Mavericks owner said he voted for Nikki Haley in the Texas Republican primary and will be backing Biden in the general election if he faces off against Trump, having once admitted he too harbored ambitions...
