Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back.
And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Protect your #401k if you haven’t already, and move everything to low-risk investments.

If Tesla goes below $114 Musk will get margin called. This forces him to liquidate his shares which will send Tesla stock into a death spiral and his whole empire will crumble. Musk will do anything to prevent this. And Trump will too.
So… keep the pressure on.

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.
The Ed. Department's Office for Civil Rights sent letters to 60 additional institutions "warning them of potential enforcement actions" for "violations relating to antisemitic harassment and discrimination" including Harvard, Brown, Stanford, Princeton, UNC, and several UC's

The job market isn’t the story the unemployment numbers tell us.
We have been going through a white collar recession of epic proportions for the past 2 years, and most recruiters/HR will tell you it’s the worst they’ve ever experienced.
