2nd and 3rd effects. Whether the SC or other institutions or guard rails - a real discussion needs to be around how to make the changes actually work and address the shortcomings we’ve seen

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).
There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

Until a few days ago, most people had never heard of red-dyed diesel. It's tax-free diesel for farm and off-road equipment. ⁣ ⁣ Trump said truckers can use it now and defer their standard tax bill until 2027 (after the midterms 🤔) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-23NcxlJWW8

There’s scammers (trump) and there’s “true believers” (vought, miller). They are both dangerous, but the true believers draw weak minded or troubled people to them by the strength of their convictions. They allow others permission to indulge their sociopathic tendencies by validating those ideas.
