We have one shot to make the billionaires pay their fair share to keep hospitals and ERs open and protect our healthcare. Passing Prop 40 is literally a matter of life and death for too many working Californians. Vote yes on Prop 40 and no on Props 41 and 42, to tax billionaires and save lives.

Opinion: Vote yes on Prop. 40 ‘billionaire tax’ to save state healthcare
Working people don’t have to let the billionaires win.

Campaign-style Trump ads use money meant for border security, memorials
The White House Office of Management and Budget added $20 million to the pot for commemorative events a day before DHS awarded an advertising contract of the same amount.

He beat and nearly killed their mom, then pulled them into the studio to record a song about how much he wanted to beat and fully kill their mom. I think it's safe to say that kid's mental health has never been a top line concern.

Eminem was the first public figure I ever full-on hated, and I feel both confident and vindicated in saying that all the people going "but he has a nonbinary kid! How could he be down with MAGA?" are... not familiar with how having a Dad like Eminem works

Wow, I'm shocked that the man who rapped about his words being a "dagger with a jagged edge that'll stab you in the head whether you're a fag or lez" is standing by his good friend, the man who shot up a case of Bud Light because a trans woman appeared on them.

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.
44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

Trump gave billionaires tax breaks, and funded it by cutting hundreds of billions, including $100 billion in California. Billionaires don't need more money. It's time they paid their fair share to keep California's hospitals open and health care workers on the job. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40

My statement on the Governor’s disappointing veto of #AB1729
Assemblymember Alex Lee's Statement on the Governor's Veto of AB 1729

Telework directly benefits the public by saving taxpayer dollars and state resources.
It is a proven tool for recruiting and retaining our workforce, while maintaining state workers' productivity.
AB 1729 was a bipartisan bill that passed the Legislature with a supermajority of votes.
The bill supports state employees, who are the backbone of our government, by recognizing telework as a key part of the modern work environment.
While I'm disappointed with the bill's outcome, I'll continue doing everything possible to empower our state workers

Here's David Ellison's statement on his successful Paramount-WBD. Thanks Newsom "for his support throughout this process." State AGs were on track to kill the the merger with litigation and delay. Is Newsom giving up on the presidency and instead pursuing a post-gov career as Friend of Oligarchs?
