If Bernie’s 5% a year billionaire wealth tax had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1 trillion he’s worth today. He’d still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior in America would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.
As Republicans demonize @AngieNixon, and JD Vance tells her "you don't belong in America," they run the risk of having it backfire. Nixon can be a compelling figure. Here she is getting emotional when I asked her to tell voters something personal about herself. @CBSMiami
"In a semi-free market, many of the athletes are more valuable than the coaches, which is why we should cap the athletes' compensation but not the coaches' compensation" is an indefensible but revealing argument.
Black pastors and their congregations gathered outside of DNC headquarters and Third Way offices in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, demanding that the Democratic Party and its leaders put “substance over symbolism” by embracing a progressive economic agenda — Medicare for All, a federal job guarantee, tuition-free public college, and universal housing. They said pushing these policies represents the unfinished work of the Civil Rights Movement.
Drop Site’s @JulianAndreone spoke with those in attendance.
Just in case you were wondering why DoorDash was spending so much money to elect Andrew Cuomo and oppose Zohran Mamdani — DoorDash now has to pay $115 million to the workers it stole wages from.
Chris Brown’s two-decade R&B legacy receives a historic honor as Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett presents him with an official entry in the U.S. Congressional Record.
The recognition honors his career, musical impact and contributions to the genre.
Mississippi is long overdue for a senator with the courage to take on Washington’s corruption, fight for our hospitals and bring good jobs back home.
I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work. On November 3rd, let’s take Mississippi in a new direction.
Look at the massive crowd behind them and tell me with a straight face that college sports are in "absolute chaos". The "chaos" is that (mostly black) athletes now have bargaining power and white coaches and sports industry execs hate it.
1/ Want proof? Here are the numbers:
“I’m just tired Don.”
Rep. Angie Nixon spoke to Don Lemon about how she’s consistently been attacked for her clothing and Southern accent, and how it’s so normalized to attack Black women who want to better the country—in lieu of Laura Loomer’s despicable comments about her.

Personally, I find the establishment dismissal of Angie Nixon wild to watch! CBC PAC went harder for Haley Stevens. Still no Emilys List back. No endorsements from the 2028ers.
Good reminder that you don’t need to campaign with Piker to be dismissed as extreme. Supporting progressive policy (as a black woman) seems to be enough.
Also covered state Rep. Angie Nixon in Little Havana this morning. Her campaign is operating differently from any Senate campaign I’ve covered — she rallies supporters, greets people, takes pics, then they immediately canvass the neighborhood and phone bank.
