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.

Right now, our amazing service members with the California National Guard are helping power expanded food bank operations across the state.
California refuses to let the Trump government shutdown's halt to federal food assistance abandon Californians in need.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.

Excellent NYT graphic.
In the space of about 3 months, tariffs on China:
-- doubled;
-- went up ≈ 2.5X from there;
-- roughly doubled again;
-- went up ≈ 40% from there;
-- and now have dropped ≈ 80% from the peak -- but are still 3X what they were in February.

Art of the deal.
For those confused by the China tariff news:
• Trump caved and got zero in return
• No manufacturing moved back to the USA
• 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans
• 90 day pause still causes uncertainty
• Trump lost all negotiating leverage

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence
National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.
This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Extraordinary comment from Tory MP Graham Stuart:
“We have to consider the possibility that President Trump is a Russian asset.
If so, Trump's acquisition is the crowning achievement of Putin's FSB career.”
(Narrator: It’s extraordinary because our own gd government didn’t say it first.)
