Speaking as a former Californian with continuing deep ties to the state: Go ahead and be Florida's problem, you greedy fascist fuckwaddles
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

abolish ice. theres no middle road on this and democrats will have to be held to it.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.
Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

The time to demand Bondi’s resignation or impeachment is NOW. Press them hard, put them on the defensive, and make this a key issue in the midterms.
It highlights everything wrong with the GOP — cult like loyalty to Trump, complete lawlessness, elite entitlement, etc.

#EpsteinCoverup is so blatantly hamfisted, it's political malpractice if Dems don't attack full bore: Impeach Bondi as the means to make it a defining issue next year in run-up to midterms.
Removing this obviously distributed-a-billion-times photo of Trump w/Melania, Epstein, & Maxwell from the DOJ release of files only points out the FBI team's foolish, slapdash attempt to cover up *any existence* of the adjudicated sexual assaulter FOTUS in them.

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

Q: Do you stand by your statement from earlier this year that nobody has died from USAID cuts?
