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.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.
The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.
Something has gone terribly wrong.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Not content with desecrating the Oval Office with his tacky, gold spray-painted bric-a-brac, Donald is now paving over the Rose Garden to turn it into a Mar-a-Lago-style patio. Wherever Trump goes, he leaves behind a trail of vulgarity.

In the Trump administration, if your information is inconvenient, they fire you.
With Elon Musk, he will recode until you tell him what he wants to hear.
