The poorest billionaire in California will make about $300 million this year.
If we pass the CA wealth tax, he will only make $235 million. In exchange, millions of the poorest Californians will get health insurance.
That's the tradeoff billionaires are not willing to make.
Ant on LaMelo: "He was great tonight. Y'all know. He plays like his hair is on fire. He gets everybody involved. He talked more than I expected throughout the game. That's another big one for me, especially because I love people who talk. Let us know what you see."
I don't fucking care what the Constitutional law experts say.
There's a massive flaw in the Constitution when someone this fucking crazy gets to act this fucking crazy for this fucking long.
25th amendment, my ass,
We should never be held hostage like this.
Once we get this corrupt motherfucker out of office, a system needs to be set in place so this kind of bullshit can NEVER EVER happen again.
There are over 115,000 active-duty personnel stationed in and around San Diego, California. The place Donald Trump just told Iran to attack.
Trump hates America.
As someone who consumes propaganda all day long I’m really tired…
What he really meant was…
He was being sarcastic…
It was a joke…
I think he was trying to say…
Journalists are NOT supposed to read minds. The quote is the quote. Only Trump can clarify what he meant.
Remember it was Trump that called for the destruction of 2 American cities.
Not Mamdani. Not El-Sayed.
Not any Muslim.
Trump.
A white, billionaire, rapist, pedophile.
Best argument for term limits I’ve ever heard. “I can’t do my constitutional role of protecting the country because I am afraid I might lose a seat where my job is to protect the country.”
It’s kinda disgusting. You swore an oath for God’s sake.
WELKER: Some Americans worry you can only make Medicare free and universal if you increase taxes. Would you need to do that?
EL-SAYED: Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, instead you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare that you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that kind of system if we knew our healthcare would be free at the point of care.

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.

Bill Burr: “Capitalism is a great thing if it’s regulated and they started deregulating it in the early 80’s and that’s how we ended up where we’re at. This new way of doing business where you come up with something and you just close the door behind it, nobody else is making money in this sector of business except for me. It’s out of control. You can tell it’s a monopoly when they don’t give a fuck. It used to be where all you had was your reputation, quality of your product, and how you treated your customers. Live Nation are internally sending emails laughing about how much they’re fucking over people. Why would you guys be joking about that?”
The current Christian Nationalism, anti-Semitism, anti-Islam, anti-Catholic, anti-Mormon, anti-Atheism,etc. is exactly why the Founders were so careful about fusing religion to the nation. They understood that “religious tolerance” was a firewall. Breach it and it’s all vs all.
Bill Burr: “How big does your yacht have to be? I have no problem with people having zillions of dollars, but pay the workers, give them benefits. Most people don’t have ridiculous demands. It’s like I would like to have a family, be able to clothe, shelter, and feed them and not have to worry every month that I’m gonna be homeless. The more of a reptile you are, the more ruthless you are, it’s respected in business. They hide behind well that’s how business is done. No, it isn’t. That’s how you’re doing business”
Theo Von: “It feels to me like we’re in this kind of privatized communism right now that people don’t want to admit to. You want to believe in capitalism because that feels like what’s fair, but now it feels like so much is owned by just a 1%. At a certain point, if capitalism is not working for everybody and 1% own everything and have just monopolized everything and squeezed it into themselves, if there’s a level of greed that’s that big, then you have to do something to take care of people”
Zohran Mamdani explains his definition of socialism to Theo Von: “Socialism to me means you’ll have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that. When people say dignity we’re talking about the things that allow you to take a breath. Housing, childcare, public transit. No one should be priced out of these things. These are non-negotiables, you need these to live”
