This Day in Legal History: Paris Peace AccordsOn January 27, 1973, the United States signed the Paris Peace Accords, effectively marking the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Though primarily a geopolitical and military agreement, the Paris Peace Accords had significant legal dimensions. Negotiated between the U.S., South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the Viet Cong (under the banner of the Provisional Revolutionary Government), the accords represented a complex international legal settlement aimed at restoring peace in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.The agreement included provisions for a cease-fire, the withdrawal of U.S. troops, the release of prisoners of war, and the recognition of South Vietnamese sovereignty. Legally, the accords posed a challenge to domestic and international law frameworks, particularly in the way the U.S. executive branch negotiated and signed the agreement without formal Congressional approval. This would later contribute to the debate around the War Powers Resolution, passed in 1973, which sought to limit the president's ability to commit U.S. forces without legislative oversight.Though hailed as a diplomatic breakthrough, the accords failed to bring lasting peace. North Vietnam eventually overran the South in 1975, raising legal questions about treaty enforcement and the durability of international peace agreements brokered without strong enforcement mechanisms.A U.S. District Court judge in Minnesota is weighing whether to temporarily halt the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the state, which has come under intense scrutiny following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and nurse. Local officials from Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul argue the federal crackdown involves unlawful tactics, including warrantless home raids and racial profiling, carried out by over 2,800 heavily armed agents—more than the total local police force. The Biden-appointed judge, Katherine Menendez, acknowledged the unprecedented nature of the case.The administration, defending the operation, dismissed the lawsuit as baseless. However, video evidence contradicts the official account of Pretti's death, showing he was unarmed and holding a phone when agents shot him, despite claims he posed a threat with a firearm. The incident has fueled widespread protests and demands for federal de-escalation from both state leaders and major Minnesota-based companies like Target and 3M.President Trump has sent border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota, though it's unclear whether this signals an expansion or reassessment of federal actions. Trump says his administration is “reviewing everything” and that immigration agents will eventually withdraw. Tensions have also spilled into Washington, with Senate Democrats vowing to block DHS funding, risking a partial government shutdown. Meanwhile, even some Republicans are questioning the administration's approach.US judge to consider pause to Minnesota crackdown as Trump dispatches border czar | ReutersA federal judge in Boston has blocked the Trump administration from ending legal status for over 8,400 migrants from seven Latin American countries who had been allowed to live in the U.S. under family reunification parole programs. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction, preventing the Department of Homeland Security from terminating the programs, which benefited migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.These programs, created or expanded under President Biden, allowed U.S. citizens and green card holders to sponsor relatives while they awaited visa approval. The Trump administration moved to end the programs, claiming they were inconsistent with current enforcement priorities and enabled people to bypass traditional immigration processes.Talwani found that the administration failed to justify its decision, noting the government neither provided evidence of fraud nor assessed the real-life consequences for affected migrants. Many had already sold homes or left jobs in their home countries. She ruled that DHS's policy shift lacked a reasoned explanation and was therefore arbitrary and capricious under administrative law.The ruling is part of a broader class action brought by immigrant rights advocates challenging Trump's rollback of temporary protections. Talwani had previously tried to block similar efforts affecting hundreds of thousands of migrants, but those earlier rulings were overturned on appeal or by the Supreme Court.US judge blocks Trump administration's push to end legal status of 8,400 migrants | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week takes a look at the Empire State's budget. New York Governor Kathy Hochul's proposed no-tax-hike budget may appear fiscally cautious, but critics (includin me) argue it lacks the stable, long-term revenue needed to support key social programs like universal childcare. While the state currently enjoys relative revenue stability, the budget relies on temporary fixes, such as decoupling from parts of the federal tax code to generate $1.6 billion, instead of pursuing more durable sources of funding.My critique centers on Hochul's refusal to raise the top marginal corporate tax rate—currently 7.25% for large companies—which is lower than neighboring states like New Jersey (11.5%) and Connecticut (8.25%). I suggest raising the rate to at least 8.5% and making the existing corporate tax surcharge permanent. I argue that companies benefiting from New York's infrastructure and market can afford modest increases, and are unlikely to relocate given regional and national tax landscapes.Without securing permanent funding, the state risks repeating a familiar pattern: expanding programs in good times and cutting them during downturns. I warn that relying on temporary revenue maneuvers delays tough decisions and increases the likelihood of painful tax hikes or service cuts when the economy falters. In short, now is the time to align recurring revenues with long-term commitments, while conditions are favorable. This is a public episode.

What happens when three of New York City's most accomplished lighting designers sit down to talk about the state of their profession, with the Empire State Building and JP Morgan Tower framed in the window behind them?In this special episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel brings together a powerhouse roundtable of lighting design leaders to unpack the evolution, challenges, and future of architectural lighting. Recorded live in New York City with the iconic skyline as backdrop, this conversation goes deep into what it really means to design light in 2025—and what needs to change. Martin Van Koolbergen (KGM Lighting), Nathalie Faubert (CBB Lighting Desing), Bruce Taylor (Susan Brady Lighting Design) From nurturing new talent to navigating the relentless pace of modern projects, these designers reveal the uncomfortable truths about an industry caught between artistry and data, emotion and efficiency, tradition and trend. They discuss why lighting design is still treated as a luxury rather than a necessity, how LED technology forced the entire profession to evolve, and why the constant demand for meetings and instant gratification is pushing designers to the edge of burnout.The conversation touches on everything from the tension between photo-realistic renderings and hand sketches, to why trust is the number one thing clients can offer, to the surprising ways technology both helps and hinders great design.

#673: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week – five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's second letter I stands for Investing. This episode originally aired in April 2022, but the framework remains one of the most practical guides we've shared for building wealth at any age. Nick Maggiulli joins us to reveal why most young investors obsess over the wrong metrics — and shares his Save-Invest Continuum that shows exactly when your savings beat your investment returns, and when that changes. _____ When Nick Maggiulli was in his twenties, he spent countless hours obsessing over his investment portfolio – tweaking his asset allocation, running net worth projections, and building complex spreadsheets. Meanwhile, he was blowing $100 every weekend partying in San Francisco. It took him years to realize the absurdity. His annual investment returns on his tiny $1,000 portfolio might earn him $100 – the same amount he'd spend in a single night out. Maggiulli joins us to explain why young investors focus on the wrong things and shares his framework for knowing when to prioritize saving versus investing. He introduces the Save-Invest Continuum, which compares your expected annual savings against your expected investment returns. When you're starting out, your ability to save dwarfs any investment gains. A $6,000 annual savings capacity beats a $100 investment return every time. We discuss the math behind saving 50 percent of future raises, not for guilt or deprivation, but to maintain lifestyle balance while building wealth. This rule applies only to real raises above inflation. If you get a 3 percent raise during 3 percent inflation, you haven't actually gotten ahead. The conversation turns to unconventional income-producing assets. Beyond stocks and bonds, Maggiulli explores farmland investing, which offers returns uncorrelated with traditional markets. He shares the story of someone who bought the royalty rights to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" for $190,000. The song earned $32,733 in royalties the previous year — an 11 percent return if that income stays constant. We examine why 85 to 90 percent of your portfolio should generate income through dividends, rent, interest, or business profits. Maggiulli keeps his speculative investments — cryptocurrency, art, and individual stocks — under 10 percent of his net worth. He admits his two individual stock picks are down 60 to 70 percent, proving his own point about avoiding stock picking. The episode reveals that time remains your most important asset. Warren Buffett would likely trade his entire fortune — and go into debt — to be 35 again. This perspective shapes every financial decision, from choosing income strategies to deciding between assets that merely appreciate versus those that pay you while you sleep.

When we returned from New York this past summer, we wondered if we had tasted the best whiskey that the Empire State had to offer. We didn't have to think very long because two of our dedicated listeners sent us a ton of samples from various New York distilleries.

Who were the men who built the Empire State Building? Glenn Kurtz returns to the show to tell their story with MEN AT WORK: The Empire State Building and the Untold Story of the Craftsmen who Built It (Seven Stories Press). We talk about how he accidentally fell into this project, how "turn every page" led him to a key discovery about Lewis Hine's photos of the Empire State construction, how his experience researching and writing THREE MINUTES IN POLAND helped him with this book, his childhood connection with the Empire State, and how identifying their subjects affects the mythic aura of Hine's photographs. We get into the corporate perspective of the building and how it dehumanizes the workers who built it, and similarly how that heroic collectivist notion of The Worker devalues workers as people, whether craftsmanship and artisanship survived the transition into mass production during the skyscraper era, Hine's authorial fallacy and the genius of his portraits, and what the Empire State says about the immigration-dynamics of the workforce and the role of unions, We also discuss the question of context and how the question, "What are we looking at?" can reveal the world, the resonance of Hine's Icarus/Sky Boy pic, the messiness of history, the joy of Virginia Woolf's diaries, why Glenn just wants to write a novel without it inspiring a nonfiction project, and more.

US equities finished lower in Monday trading, ending a bit off worst levels. There were a few moving pieces as the market waits for a number of higher-profile events this week, including Nvidia NVDA earnings, retail earnings, FOMC minutes, a barrage of Fedspeak, and September's NFP and flash PMIs. In macro news, the Empire State manufacturing survey for November posted a surprise increase to 18.7, its highest since last November.
Day 41 of the government shutdown — or as Congress calls it, “Sunday.” Senators gathered for a rare weekend session to “work things out,” which in D.C. language means grandstanding with snacks provided. Meanwhile, in Major League Baseball, the Cleveland Guardians are living up to their name by guarding their right to embarrass the sport. Two of their pitchers have been arrested for gambling, proving once again that MLB can't go more than a few months without hitting itself in the face with a Louisville Slugger. Back here in the Empire State, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's plan for free buses has hit… well, traffic. Governor Hochul says she's not ready to move forward with the proposal — which is politician-speak for “We're gonna study this until everyone forgets.” And yet — somewhere between the shutdowns, scandals, and stalled buses — there's still something to be thankful for. Maybe it's the people we love. Maybe it's the tiny wins. Or maybe it's just that the ferry still runs on time. Either way, gratitude's the one thing not on backorder this year.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, a FDNY firefighter died Saturday after suffering a medical episode while battling a five-alarm fire at a Brooklyn apartment building, authorities said.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's office said that SNAP benefits went out to New Yorkers using federal funds after the longest-ever federal government shutdown cut off food stamp payments for the first time.And in Washington, President Trump's administration is demanding states “undo” full SNAP benefits paid out under judicial orders in recent days, now that the U.S. Supreme Court has stayed those rulings, marking the latest swing in a seesawing legal battle over the anti-hunger program used by 42 million Americans. Meanwhile, on the local level in Sacramento, Acorn squash, Spam and baby food lined the shelves on a recent day at a college food pantry in California's capital city, a resource that students receiving federal aid to purchase groceries may have to increasingly rely on because that assistance has been in limbo during the government shutdown.
New York governor Kathy Hochul has strayed from a more environmentally conscious energy policy in favor of one that includes new oil pipelines and a gas-powered crypto mine in its purview. Environmental activists are dreading Hochul's decision, yet business and labor interests are rejoicing over it. POLITICO's Marie French dissects Hochul's New York climate pivot and what it will mean for energy projects throughout the Empire State.

Nov. 10, 2055- New York gambling regulators are looking to stop Kalshi, an online predictions market, from promoting and processing de facto sports wagers without a license. We explore the emergence of this platform and the showdown in the Empire State with Steve Ruddock, a gambling industry consultant and commentator.
This year in the U.S., steel manufacturers will produce more than 71 million tons of steel – enough to build nearly 200 Empire State buildings. It's a stunning statistic, but not surprising. The steel industry has fueled economic growth and innovation in America since the early 1800s. But for every ton of conventional steel produced, two tons of CO2 are emitted, making the coal industry responsible for about 7% of global emissions. Steel is widely known as one of those "hard to decarbonize" industries. But Boston Metal's innovations are pointing the way forward to a net-zero steel industry that relies on renewable power instead of coal. In this episode, Lara Pierpoint talks with Tadeu Carneiro, CEO of Boston Metals, about the company's first commercial facility in Brazil -- a facility that aims to reach industrial-scale production by 2030. And Lara asks Tadeu how his team developed and scaled a technology he calls “harder than keeping an ice cream cone frozen in hell.” Credits: Hosted by Lara Pierpoint.

In Hour 1 of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Pate is joined by Tanner Cole and Rachel Maines for a powerful conversation that starts with humor and heart—but quickly dives deep. What happens when faith, culture, and politics collide? As they reflect on the passing of Dick Cheney, the trio challenges listeners to rethink compassion, forgiveness, and how Christians should respond to hate. Then the discussion shifts—why are women leaving the church while men are returning? Backed by Barna and Pew Research data, Andy and Rachel expose shifting beliefs about abortion, gender, and truth itself. Has modern Christianity become too compromised… or too feminine? This episode asks the hard questions others won't—about faith, conviction, and what it really means to stand for truth in a culture that's lost its way. HOUR 2 In Hour 2 of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Pate teams up with Jersey Joe for a hard-hitting political rundown spanning New Jersey, California, and Virginia. Could Jack Cittarelli pull off a red upset in a deep-blue state? Are skyrocketing electricity rates and green energy failures driving voters to the right? The two break down shifting voter trends, redistricting battles like California's Prop 50, and the economic fallout from high taxes and bad policy. Then they turn to Virginia, where the NAACP and Barack Obama face charges of hypocrisy for backing a white Democrat over black Republican Winsome Sears. Is this about race, gender—or just party power? Packed with insight, outrage, and irony, this episode asks: what's really changing in America's political landscape, and is a conservative comeback already underway? HOUR 3 In Hour 3 of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Pate is joined by Eli Bremer, political consultant and former Olympian, for a bold look at the rise of socialism, real estate collapse, and economic flight in America's bluest cities. Could New York's Zohran Mamdani turn the Empire State into the next San Francisco? Andy and Eli expose the dangers of collectivization, the hypocrisy of modern Democrats, and how free-market capitalism remains the only system that feeds rather than starves. With stories ranging from Trump's legal battles to billionaires fleeing New York, the pair reveal how misguided policies—and willful ignorance—are driving America toward disaster. Will citizens finally learn from failure, or will taxpayers be forced to bail out collapsing blue states once again? This episode pulls no punches—it's a warning, a wake-up call, and a reality check all in one.
In Hour 1 of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Pate is joined by Tanner Cole and Rachel Maines for a powerful conversation that starts with humor and heart—but quickly dives deep. What happens when faith, culture, and politics collide? As they reflect on the passing of Dick Cheney, the trio challenges listeners to rethink compassion, forgiveness, and how Christians should respond to hate. Then the discussion shifts—why are women leaving the church while men are returning? Backed by Barna and Pew Research data, Andy and Rachel expose shifting beliefs about abortion, gender, and truth itself. Has modern Christianity become too compromised… or too feminine? This episode asks the hard questions others won't—about faith, conviction, and what it really means to stand for truth in a culture that's lost its way. HOUR 2 In Hour 2 of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Pate teams up with Jersey Joe for a hard-hitting political rundown spanning New Jersey, California, and Virginia. Could Jack Cittarelli pull off a red upset in a deep-blue state? Are skyrocketing electricity rates and green energy failures driving voters to the right? The two break down shifting voter trends, redistricting battles like California's Prop 50, and the economic fallout from high taxes and bad policy. Then they turn to Virginia, where the NAACP and Barack Obama face charges of hypocrisy for backing a white Democrat over black Republican Winsome Sears. Is this about race, gender—or just party power? Packed with insight, outrage, and irony, this episode asks: what's really changing in America's political landscape, and is a conservative comeback already underway? HOUR 3 In Hour 3 of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Pate is joined by Eli Bremer, political consultant and former Olympian, for a bold look at the rise of socialism, real estate collapse, and economic flight in America's bluest cities.

(The Center Square) — A half-dozen school districts in New York state reported spending more than $70,000 per student recently, with two districts spending almost or more than $100,000, an investigation by The Center Square found. Each of the six districts were among the smallest in the state, with fewer than 340 students. Still, the figures dwarfed those of a typical pre-kindergarten through 12th grade school district in the Empire State in 2023-'24. According to the New York State Department of Education, the median figure for per-pupil spending was $35,095.
