@MikeNellis Pete Hegseth must resign immediately; 24 U.S. soldiers were killed during the war with Iran, and he concealed the true number of fatalities and casualties.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is emerging as a popular surrogate and fundraiser for Democratic candidates nationwide. He has stumped in 24 states and helped raise $3 million... so far...

Switzerland (!?) joining France, Poland, and Lithuania in making alarmed security statements. Instead of vague defensive measures, better would be to seize Russian assets and arm Ukraine to destroy the threat at the source.

Sometimes I randomly remember that the U.S. kidnapped another country's head of state and the world just shrugged and moved on.

Jon Ossoff and James Talarico just dropped a joint ad. MAGA hates this.

The United States of America now pays more to borrow for 10 years than Canada or Germany ... more than once-bankrupt Greece or under-the-Russian-gun Estonia. What's going on? Watch or listen to the weekend edition of the David Frum show. youtube.com/watch?v=zaseJW…

It's super cool how Trump canceled fuel efficiency standards, electric vehicle rebates, and illegally ended billions upon billions of dollars of wind and solar energy projects already under construction just before he blew up the entire Middle East for no fucking reason.

Absolute barbaric scum. Families inside and in broad daylight, while at the weekend. Russia clearly targeted a shopping mall to maximize casualties.

Really great to see this: six Nobel Prize-winning economists (Duflo, Krugman, Diamond, Banerjee, Acemoglu and Stiglitz) just came out in favor of the California billionaire tax. You don't have to be a radical leftist to see why it's a good idea. First, look at the numbers: ten years ago, the richest 0.001% of Californians were worth $700 billion. Today, that same group (about 250 people) is worth $2.3 trillion. From 2019 to 2025, their wealth grew by $1.4 trillion. The California income tax they paid over that period was just 1.6% of that gain. A nurse or a plumber pays a higher state tax rate. Yes, many of these people built great companies, and they've made a lot of money in the process. Good for them! The problem is that wealth on this scale stops being just money. It becomes extraordinary power. In 2000, billionaires accounted for about 1% of all donations in federal elections. In 2024, it was 19%. The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and the platform you're reading this on: all owned and controlled by billionaires. Now add AI. If you think power is concentrated now, just wait five years. It's going to get much worse. So, what does Prop 40 actually do? It's a one-time 5% tax on the wealth of California's billionaires. That would raise about $100 billion, enough to offset the federal Medicaid cuts. "But they'll all leave!" the critics say. Nope, they can't. The tax applies to any billionaire who lived in California on January 1, 2026, and the initiative only became public about five weeks before that. "But it'll kill Silicon Valley!" Uh no, that won't happen either. Since the tax was announced, California's share of all new US venture capital has gone up, from about 50% to 80%. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who would be one of the biggest payers, said he would be "perfectly fine" with it and had "not even thought about it once". Sure, some other billionaires can't stop thinking about it. Sergey Brin has already spent more than $100 million to defeat the proposal. At a holiday party in December he pulled Gavin Newson aside and said 'he could not stand the state’s proposed billionaire tax', because he thought the 5% tax would turn California into some kind of Soviet Union. That is, of course, nonsense. This is not going to be some kind of socialist revolution. The proposal is about restoring balance to a mixed economy. You could even argue it's about saving capitalism itself from oligarchs like Sergey Brin. I think that's exactly why Nobel Prize-winning economists are coming out in favor of this tax. If Prop 40 passes in November, it will be the first tax aimed specifically at billionaire wealth anywhere in the world. I think it could be the start of a global movement. Anyway, read the whole letter here. It's really good 👇 gabriel-zucman.eu/files/prop40le…

Fucking weirdo.

Has Scott Jennings gone on cnn yet to explain why cnn shouldn’t be allowed to cover that White House?

We’ve lost 30% of our purchasing power in the last 6 years and somehow, everyone just accepted it. We literally were made 30% poorer so the government can spend trillions.
