I just love this City so much.
Chicago is just such a fun town, especially on a weather day like today. Let’s all have a great long weekend Chicago frents.

A thing often in common among great startup investors, founders, and researchers:
Trading making a lot of small mistakes in exchange for getting a few giant wins.
(Surprisingly many people seem to prefer a few big mistakes in exchange for a lot of small wins.)

I visited @spc in SF two years ago. It's a membership-based space for founders and builders.
I'm really inspired by how groups like this think about community building. Intentionality is the foundation of community.
A Players only want to be around A Players. If you cater to everyone, you dilute the overall impact.
My north star is bringing this energy here to Chicago.
There is now a massive gap in our ecosystem. The next era of Chicago’s tech needs a refreshed, dedicated, high-impact space where builders, founders, and investors can thrive together.
I’m already in active discussions with leading VCs, operators, and founders to make this vision a reality. If you’re interested in shaping what’s next, let’s connect.

Congestion pricing in NYC is *working* on every metric.
Busses are going faster -- taxi trips are up -- traffic and noise are down -- foot traffic is up, Broadway tickets up, commute times down.
And the city is making $$ for public transit.
This is a fight worth fighting.

Glad to see @FTC use @costplusdrugs markups to show just how badly the big PBMs are ripping off People.
Can’t say it enough. If your company uses a big PBM, fire your broker or consultant.
This is prime territory for DOGE to save taxpayers money. The report says it clearly. @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy @doge
We are ready to save taxpayers billions !

Northwestern was our first client, sharing our commitment to innovation and the advancement of personalized patient care. We’re excited to announce a new, multi-year AI partnership across disease areas that we hope will transform outcomes for Northwestern’s many patients.
We are collaborating with @NorthwesternMed to explore the application of #AI in clinical care and research. The collaboration will start with the Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute with goal of identifying patients at increased risk of developing AFIB or any of seven structural heart diseases.

This is fresh and intelligent economic policy because it forces firms to internalize their externality costs.
1. As of this week, @USDOT’s automatic refunds rule is in full effect.
If an airline cancels or significantly changes your flight and you don’t rebook, you’re entitled to an automatic refund.
If you buy in-flight wifi and it doesn’t work, you’re entitled to an automatic refund.

FTC Chair Lina Khan shows Lesley Stahl an asthma inhaler that costs dollars in Europe but hundreds in the U.S. She says drugmakers register patents on inhaler parts like the cap-strap to keep low-cost generics off the market. cbsn.ws/3zuONT2
