#CaliforniaVotes YES on Prop 40
Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

The quality of negotiators, as well as public awareness of their personal interests, matter when lives are on the line. Witkoff and Kushner are hardly qualified, nor are they honest brokers. Starving Ukrainians and, indeed, the entire civilized world deserve better.
I have read dozens of outraged posts because the US special envoy Witkoff called Putin a "humanist." But no one is writing about the fact that the American negotiators are simply not doing their job. Let me explain.
My party isn’t leaving me because I’m leaving it. The party may be transphobic. I am not.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.
Glad I haven’t sent him any $$
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.
This is all well and good, but the entire DC metro area is already a traffic nightmare. When will northern & southern river crossings become the better solution? Get interstate through traffic off local roads & give us more transit. This isn’t it.

The president of the united states comes out in favor of a mother helping their husband indicted for child sex abuse abscond from justice and then trash their daughter as a liar after the fact bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
Forcing children to go hungry. If you vote for the GOP, the so-called #ProLife party, this is what you get.
Paging Rick Scott
JD Vance: "That's one of the most important things our fraud task is doing is sending a message to people: don't use your skills and abilities, don't use them to defraud your fellow citizens, use those skills and abilities to do something legitimate and build something of real value."

Tired: The Goldwater Rule Wired: The Jacob Rule
The American Psychiatric Association lists 14 signs and symptoms of possible mental illness. Since major media seem afraid to say Trump is mentally unfit for office, I decided to assess him on these 14 signs in hopes they'd face the alarming truth. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

The US and the West welcomed Russia into the community of nations after the Cold War. Investment poured in. The G7 turned into G8. The idea that Poland, Estonia, etc. forming their own foreign relations was so unfair to Moscow that Russia is entitled to murder Ukrainians 20 years later is insane.
Ron Johnson blames US for Putin invading Ukraine: "The way we treated Russia after we won the Cold War, how we pushed them. I'm not defending Putin, but we said we were not gonna move NATO one inch to the east. We brought it right to their doorstep basically. What did we think Putin was gonna do?"
