Are we cool with a Democratic presidential frontrunner raising money from billionaires to oppose a billionaire wealth tax in a transparent effort to show loyalty and make connections ahead of his 2028 campaign?

Thank you to the Palestinian people for being such generous hosts.
I have seen the reality on the ground: we must end the illegal settlements in the West Bank and follow international law.

Yes. Exactly. Well said.
something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things
they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

There’s a Silicon Valley billionaire freak out happening about a potential wealth tax ballot initiative in California.
I hope everybody understands—the only way to make billionaires pay a similar *income* tax rate as their secretaries is via taxing unrealized cap gains or wealth

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

For decades, the wealthy have pulled further ahead while everyone else has struggled to keep up. The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act taxes assets over $50 million so we can undo decades of rigged economics and build an economy that finally works for working people.

The Zohran Mamdani campaign didn’t just have a charismatic candidate with slick videos. It built a grassroots army of over 100,000 volunteers knocking on 3 million doors.
We spoke to the campaign’s field director, Tascha Van Auken, about how they did it.

In the 60 Minutes controversy, Weiss is likely doing what she always does: producing a line of propaganda masquerading as news coverage that serves the interest of her patrons–in this case, David Ellison, whose interests are served by protecting Donald Trump.

Bari Weiss's Counter-Journalistic Crusade Targets “60 Minutes”
The new editor in chief at CBS News has shown she's not merely stupendously unqualified--she's ideologically opposed to the practice of good journalism.
