250 billionaires own half of California GDP.
Taxing them at 2% would save healthcare for millions. Healthcare workers have already compromised from 5%.
85% of VC money came to California in Q1 2026. The capital flight argument is nonsense.
The only reason to oppose this is if you want to protect the donor class.
It's about protecting money in politics.
I want a Democratic party that will stand for the working class.
This is a moral test for our party.
Whose side are you on?

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.
Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.
Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.
New concerns are emerging about President Trump’s sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants after a report found that nearly 100 of them have been arrested, charged or convicted of additional crimes since the attack in 2021.
It comes as continuing efforts by Trump and his allies to recast the events of that day have reignited debate over accountability and the rule of law.
@ElizLanders has more.
Billionaires in America now own a record $9.2 TRILLION in wealth.
That's up 32% over the last year. The country's GDP has only risen 6% in that time.
Tax breaks for the wealthy don't trickle down to working people. They just create trillionaires.
The future of AI must not be decided behind closed doors by billionaires seeking to maximize their power and profit.
It should be decided by the American people.
That's why I'm introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act.
If we lose our bee population, the Earth basically collapses. They are responsible for pollinating about 1/3 of the food we eat. They are far more important to humans than any AI tool or data center. Save the bees NOW.
Donald Trump is spending $765 million of your money to kill American energy projects and jobs off California’s coast.
Taxpayer-funded corporate welfare for Big Oil.
We can protect and expand Social Security if millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaire Elon Musk pay the same rate as the rest of us.
MAGA Mike Johnson and Republicans want to cut your earned benefits so that Musk NEVER has to pay his fair share.

I thought I must be dreaming when I heard this WONDERFUL news:
The National Science Foundation has reversed its decision to dismantle the OOI—the vitally important ocean monitoring network—after outcry from scientists and lawmakers.
And it doesn't stop there: the NSF said they're developing plans to redeploy the Endurance Array off the coasts of Oregon and Washington, which they have just removed.
The American public must determine the future of AI, not just Big Tech oligarchs.
The financial benefits of AI must be shared by all, not just the richest people on earth.
This didn't happen because Mainers decided they don't care about the Platner allegations. This happened because Mainers are well-educated, did extensive research on whether the allegations were true, and discovered nearly all of them weren't.
As local journalists have confirmed.
