One of the many things the Democrats need to do is completely divorce the U.S. federal government from everything Musk owns. This guy's a monster with enormous power and he's destabilizing democracies all over the globe. It's time to fight back.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

President Trump made it a point to tell Ohio rally-goers that he "examined" Sen. Jon Husted's body, which included looking "at his ass". But is this what Ohio voters are interested in?

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

I think Greg is correct, but Americans need to be aware that Magyar’s Tisza government is aggressively going after every Fidesz official, removing them, using every lever of the state to yank them out of power. This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far.

Good lord. @arimelber.bsky.social Brings on Barry Levinson to peddle the old “both sides” myth about why our community politic has broken down. This is so tiring. And such a lie. As if the Court enabled Second Guilded Age or a propagandized and cult like group of the easily mislead didn’t exist.

Elon Musk spent $278 MILLION buying the 2024 election. That is FOUR TIMES what he paid in federal income taxes between 2013 and 2018. The richest 1% are set to pocket $1 TRILLION in tax breaks this decade. While Musk's SpaceX launches rockets, working families get stuck with the bill.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Very few people become fabulously wealthy without sacrificing their values — and somehow Dolly Parton was able to do it. She used her fame and wealth to make the world a better place. I wish we had more like her. What a loss.
