22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

VOTE YES on PROP 40!! “Last month 6 Nobel prize winning American economists issued a statement and support of Prop 40 saying that it may welcome to be seen as a turning point in the battle between democracy and oligarchy.” Nicholas Lemann in the New Yorker

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

Trump is now giving $40 billion in aide to Argentina. A reminder, USAID was cut completely from the federal budget and the department was shut down by DOGE, and as a result hundreds of thousands of people around the world have died. The total budget for USAID was $35 billion.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat. But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.
