This tax measure would apply to just 250 total people in California.
If Newsom and billionaires block it, 3 MILLION Californians could lose their health care coverage.
Pass it on.
Nobody can afford food, gas, electricity, housing or health care - and the elites of both parties not only don't seem to care, they seem intent on live broadcasting their lavish parties with their sides' celebrities as the rest of the country starves.
This is "let them eat" cake - but blasted out 24-7 to millions of people's screens.
It's genuinely unprecedented in human history - and it's almost as if the ruling class is trying to shake the foundation of civilizational stability and create conditions for social chaos.
California is a neoliberal capitalist dystopia where the rich get richer and everyone else struggles to survive under the insane cost of living. Anyone who thinks the state is socialist knows nothing about socialism. The Democrats who rule the state are capitalist to their bones.

Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes.
Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common

As support for Israel becomes more politically risky, pro-Israel donors have found a new trick for funding Democratic candidates.
They are moving money through the Better Blue Fund, a new group backed by longtime AIPAC-linked donors that is raising cash for Democrats facing primary challenges.
New AIPAC-aligned spending vehicle in disguise just dropped.
"Better Blue Fund" is a new JFC bankrolled by DMFI/AIPAC donors supporting dem candidates, many of whom are in competitive primaries where direct AIPAC support has become radioactive. Blue Fund acts as a workaround.
That includes Ben McAdams in Utah's first. Previously McAdams was DMFI endorsed but not this cycle. Hence, his inclusion in the JFC makes it all the more significant.
BREAKING:
Israel just dropped bombs on the Qaraoun Dam in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley — a key water reservoir serving civilian populations across surrounding villages.
This is not a battlefield target.
It is a critical water infrastructure.
This is an act of genocide.
There was only one thing that surprised me about the Jubilee with MAGA die-hards.
It wasn't that some people scream and refuse to stop talking. It wasn't that these were mostly young people cheering and finding purpose in wars but never fighting in them. It wasn't that their politics is more of a cult of personality. All expected and found in all factions.
It was that, despite being political junkies, they had no idea about Trump's enormous corruption scandals because the corporate and independent media they consume doesn't mention it. They had no idea it existed:
Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?
If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.
Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
Providing a $12,000 rebate to a family of 4 making $150,000 a year or less through Bernie's 5% billionaires' wealth tax ain't radical.
What's radical is that since 1975 the top 1% has stolen $79 trillion in wealth from the bottom 90%. That's trillion with a t. That's radical.
My 5% billionaire wealth tax will raise $4.4 trillion to:
✔ Give $3,000 to everyone in a household making $150,000 or less
✔ Build 7 million homes & apartments
✔ Enact a $60,000 minimum teacher salary
✔ Expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing
And much more...
Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.
Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.
Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.
And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.
Yes, this is oligarchy.
If you only watch one thing today, watch this exchange between @jonfavs & @grahamformaine.
It doesn’t just show Platner destroying the Pod Save guys, it explains the divide in the Dem Party & shows how the party elite still doesn't understand what happened in this country.
America's billionaires got $1.5 TRILLION richer last year, and pocketed massive tax breaks.
We let them get rich enough to buy our media, warp our elections, and evade justice for their dealings with Epstein.
Of course we should pass @SenSanders' 5% wealth tax on billionaires.
