California may vote on a one-time 5% tax on billionaire wealth to help the state fund health care for low-income residents after sweeping cuts to Medicaid.

A possible ballot proposal could generate $100 billion, most of which would go toward health care for millions of people.

It’s terrifying. Everybody has to try to ride it while it’s good, but hoped time their exits.

Good luck with that

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I would remind local police officers that Derek Chauvin stood on George Floyd’s neck while the blue brotherhood stood by. All of those officers who stood by and supported were also convicted.

If that is what you are standing for, that is what you are falling for.

ICE violently detain U.S. citizen who is standing up for his employees—tackle his elderly mother in the process.

He looks right at Chicago Police just standing around and asks, "Officers, why are you letting this happen?"

Republicans don’t care about their legacies or reputations because they plan on rewriting history.
