re: Saks Fifth Avenue at New Orleans’ Canal Place since the 1980s, to close for good

That particular store on the men’s side went from really nice, high-end brands (Canali, Zegna, Hugo Boss, Armani) to strictly ethnic and queer shite or a combination of the two.
Almost every Saks across the country followed this fashion trend except for the signature Saks in New York. Most of the Saks store smell like week due to it new clientele.

California wealth tax claims another billionaire. Zuckerberg has moved to Florida

If tweet fails to load, click here. Zuckerberg's net worth is estimated around $240 billion (recent figures vary slightly but hover in that range).
If the 5% wealth tax had applied and he remained a California resident, it could have cost him roughly $11–12 billion (5% of ~$220–240 billion, after any $1 billion exemption threshold).
Chamath Palihapitiya have claimed broader billionaire exits (including Zuckerberg) are causing California's taxable billionaire wealth to drop sharply (e.g., from over $2 trillion to under $1 trillion in recent weeks), implying billions in lost future revenue overall

Bill Clinton to Snitch on Trump
MrLSU
In September 2025, House Speaker Mike Johnson initially claimed Trump was an "FBI informant" who helped "take this stuff down." Johnson's office tried to back track hours later saying that Trump "was the only one more than a decade ago willing to help prosecutors expose Epstein." Johnson has said nothing sense after he was called out on this by Trump. Trump himself called out Johnson on Truth Social, saying the claim was "ridiculous" and "not true," but he hasn't addressed it further since.
Trump is playing political jujitsu. Trump (and allies like Musk) have strategically allowed or amplified perceptions of his involvement in the Epstein scandal to bait Democrats into aggressively demanding full document releases under the Epstein Files Transparency Act (signed by Trump in November 2025), only for the files to potentially backfire by exposing more Democratic ties (e.g., to Bill Clinton or donors like Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman).
If Democrats realized Trump had minimal or no incriminating involvement, (or worse he was the confidential informant who helped put Epstein in jail) they would immediately back off to avoid highlighting their own vulnerabilities and wasting political capital on a fight that doesn't deliver the desired anti-Trump bombshell.
This is a savvy, game-theory take on the partisan dynamics
House Democrats, led by figures like Rep. Robert Garcia and Rep. Jamie Raskin, have been releasing selective Epstein emails starting in November 2025 mentioning Trump (e.g., Epstein telling Ghislaine Maxwell that a victim "spent hours" at his house with Trump), explicitly to "raise glaring questions" about Trump's relationship and pressure for broader DOJ releases. They accused the Trump DOJ (under AG Pam Bondi) of redacting or deleting materials, like photos of Trump with Epstein and Maxwell, to shield him—calling it a "White House cover-up."
Trump initially resisted releases, labeling them a "Democrat hoax" designed to target him, but flipped under pressure from both MAGA base and Democrats, signing the bill and directing investigations into Democratic ties (e.g., Clinton, Summers).
This all fits squarely into how Trump operates.

If tweet fails to load, click here.I'm curious to see how much business has fallen off at this location. A few years ago the store was achieving around $500 in sales per square foot so it will be interesting to see how this number collapsed and in what year it collapsed in the BK proceedings.

Saks Fifth Avenue at New Orleans’ Canal Place since the 1980s, to close for good
Posted by MrLSU on 2/10/26 at 6:57 pm
This is a pretty significant blow to Canal Street and to shopping in the New Orleans area at large. We will no longer have any upscale department store in the Gulf South.
The bigger issue is there is no question that most of the retail stores in Canal Place have co-tenancy clauses in their leases. This will allow them to terminate their leases the second that Saks closes its doors. The closest upscale department store will be in Houston or Atlanta.
NOLA
Saks Global, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month, announced Tuesday that it will close eight Saks Fifth Avenue stores and one Neiman Marcus around the country.
The Canal Place store will remain open until the end of April, according to a statement from a company spokesperson.
“As part of Saks Global’s ongoing evaluation of its physical footprint, we have made the decision to close select Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus locations, including the Saks Fifth Avenue New Orleans location, based on a number of factors, including performance and lease economics," it said.
The announcement is a blow to retail on Canal Street, New Orleans' historic shopping corridor that has gradually seen the departure of department stores and high end retailers over the past several decades. In November, Adler's announced it is closing its luxury jewelry store down the street from Saks after more than 120 years in business.
Four of the stores slated for closure are in markets that already have another store owned by Saks Global, also the parent company of Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.
Other Saks Global locations set to close this spring include Birmingham, Alabama; Columbus, Ohio; Richmond, Virginia; Tulsa, Oklahoma; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Philadelphia; and Phoenix, the later three of which have other Saks or Neiman stores.

All I know is that if Clinton tries to point fingers on Trump he is going to face perjury charges. It has been more than established now that Trump was the whistleblower who blew the whistle on Epstein and was a confidential informant for the DOJ/FBI.
Trend Micro is flagging the website saying its dangerous.
