And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

“Maybe” and winking at the camera doesn’t earn you brownie points. Just fight back, do it, and let people know you what you’ve done.
Maybe I should file a complaint with the FCC against the Trump White House for editing his unhinged 60 Minutes interview.
It will use the exact same language Trump lodged against Vice President Harris.

Perfect. 60 Minutes edited out an important part of its Trump interview in which he boasts about extracting millions from its parent company on an utterly meritless claim . . . that 60 Minutes selectively edited its Kamala Harris interview.
I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

I read this yesterday and I'm just gutted, especially as a former preschool teacher. Jordan expresses an extraordinary amount of empathy here without reciprocation. I wish the media, institutions, and parents involved sought the restoration of this man's life with the same fervor they destroyed it.
New from me:
Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.
This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.
