This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.
How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...
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 corruption is just staggering. Dozens of dozens of pardons being given out to wealthy criminals paying millions for them. The US government is for sale to the highest bidders & DOJ operates as Trump’s consigliere. Have you had enough of this yet America? I know the world has.
If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention.
Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025.
Trickle-down economics was always a scam.
School shootings like the one in Bend, Oregon, are reported by the # of dead kids.
But every surviving child carries the trauma, as do their families and everyone affected by previous shootings. Trauma upon trauma, generation after generation.
Societies that tolerate this are profoundly broken.
A Massachusetts woman pays $500 a month to get her electricity from a privately owned utility.
Her neighbor, less than 2,000 feet away, pays just $130 a month because he’s served by a publicly owned utility.
How are privately owned utilities getting away with this price gouging? Watch.
So, Tesla just spent a decade designing a flying teenage fever dream stunt car that’s not street-legal and has no actual use - besides being a toy for a few billionaires.
Another Cybercab mismatch - just with a price tag that adds a few zeroes.
NO ROI, once again. $TSLAQ$TSLA

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.
For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.
Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.
Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work.
It was a hoax.
Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now members of Congress are being denied the ability to see the damage at these bases because there's a coverup underway. There's a coverup underway to try to hide the cost of this war and the debacle it has caused in the region."
🚨President Z is taking out “data centers” that run Putin’s bot farms just three weeks before the U.S. midterms.
After the third strike on Yandex's data center, Russian bot activity dropped to zero.
This is why Trump and Musk are calling for President Z’s removal.
It has nothing to do with diesel.
Troy Jackson: "The gentleman's name was Johan Sebastian Guerrero. He had a 3 year old daughter. The only mistake he made that morning was going to work. Because Sen. Collins is not willing to stand up to Donald Trump, he was murdered in the streets of Biddeford for doing nothing wrong."
