If Gavin Newsom runs for president in 2028, remember whose side he was on in the fight to rein in the wealth and power of billionaires in California.

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion.
Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion.
What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare.
Vote yes on Prop 40.
Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.
Yesterday the President said Iran could “take out Los Angeles or San Diego” and called it a very small price to pay. I don’t know what he meant. I know what he said. And it’s just wrong.
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

If a genie appeared and granted me one wish, it would be for everyone to watch the movie 9 to 5, and read the lyrics of the song. Dolly Parton could have been a billionaire, but chose to help others instead. The movie and the song are odes to working class women.
hahahahahahahahahaha
AG Todd Blanche: "This narrative...that the president is going to pull me aside and ask me to do something illegal is completely a false narrative, not true, will not happen, and hasn't happened"
Whenever I see OpenAI's Sam Altman with his pseudo-innocent glance, he always reminds me of Carter Burke from Aliens (1986), who deceived the entire spaceship crew in favor of his corporation, with the aim of getting rich by weaponizing a newly discovered intelligent life-form.

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.
He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!!
Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."
Until the majority of white Americans decide that their ability to live a good life is more valuable to them than terrorizing and killing Black & Brown people at home and abroad we will never move forward as a nation
The fact is that the most correct observation anyone can make about US politics over the previous decade is that voting for Hillary Clinton would have fixed literally everything you’re currently suffering from, and you only think this isn’t the case because of misogyny
The New York Times editorial board:
“Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals.”
MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund—
Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.
BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.
Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II.
She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet.
Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
