A group of Nobel Prize-winning economists are supporting California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax, Prop 40. They’re right to support it — and Gavin Newsom is wrong to oppose it. Here’s why.

Warnock on SCOTUS: No one elected this Court—to decide what kind of remedies we need in this moment. It’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, we have reached the threshold where this issue around race and inclusion is no longer necessary.” That is not the job of the Court.

Screenshot of a post by Acyn on X summarizing comments by Representative Dan Goldman. The post states that Goldman criticized the justification for pursuing Nicolás Maduro on drug trafficking charges, calling it bogus and noting that the Honduran president was recently pardoned for similar offenses. Below the text is a television news still from MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki. Dan Goldman appears on screen in a studio or remote setup, wearing a dark jacket and light shirt, speaking directly to the camera. A nighttime city skyline with illuminated buildings is visible behind him. On-screen graphics include a red “Breaking News” banner reading “Maduro arrives in NY to face drugs and weapons charges,” along with Goldman’s name, title, and MSNBC branding.
