When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Again, the divide in the Democratic Party isn't ideological. Plenty of moderates and center-left Democrats oppose this shutdown deal. It's about who has the stomach to win these fights against the Republicans. Who can throw a punch and who can't.

My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month.

So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much.

Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Yeah, despite the rumblings from other reporters this still feels like another bit of Axios wishcasting.

What's for certain is that any Democrat who votes to cave now and betray the base in exchange for nothing at all will live to regret it.
does this sound like a deal that’s done or someone trying to pressure dems into one

It sounds like what Republicans want is a single payer universal healthcare system with no insurance companies. All it took was a government shutdown to get them to take that position?

You say that like it’s a bad thing.
ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”

That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”
