The misdirect here is that @GavinNewsom is opposing a WEALTH tax on billionaires in his own state & insisting he supports a new national INCOME tax on billionaires — but billionaires make money off non-income sources.

@ryangrim@mehdirhasan She could have served out the rest of her entire term and stood with Democrats while continuing this charade if she truly wanted to be a maverick. That might have earned her a little credibility. But couldn’t be bothered with that.
