Yes On Prop 40 @billionairetaxnow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Billionaires: start paying your fair share of taxes instead of paying 200+ million on TV ads. This November 3rd we are going to tax the billionaires by voting Yes on 40 and No on 41 and 42. #YESon40 #NOon41 #NOon42

Exactly. We filed out our ballots Friday night and voted this way. 40 is good! 41 and 42 are deceptive billionaire tricks!

Repeat after me: Yes on 40, no on 41 and 42, which are designed to cancel out 40!

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

I heard it in a Lyft and wasn’t impressed so I never sought it out. The writer’s hurt over the lack of monoculture is forgetting how annoying the “song of summer” would get back in the day. If I never hear Hot in Herre again I’ll be happy.

They sent my client a cease-and-desist letter for this ad in PA's hotly contested 6th Senate District. As I wrote back, "We will neither cease nor desist from engaging in this truthful, accurate speech." Here's the "Data Senator" ad which Republicans don't want Lower Bucks residents to see.

Look at this photo we found from Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding. Can you spot the Russian oligarch close to Putin who bankrolled the event? 🧵
A group photo shows about 35 people, including Donald Trump Jr.; his wife, Bettina Anderson; Ivanka Trump; Jared Kushner; Tiffany Trump; and Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev.
