I don’t think wealth taxes are a good idea in practice, and they’re definitely dumb at the state level.

Marijuana today is much more potent than just ten or twenty years ago, leading to increased psychosis, anti-social behavior, and fatal car crashes. Arkansans don’t want more dangerous drugs obtained more easily. A change to marijuana’s drug classification is a step in the wrong direction.

Iran just fully opened the Straight of Hormuz. Oil is plummeting 11%.
Democrats hardest hit.
English
BREAKING: Iran reimposed restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, reversing its decision to reopen the waterway after President Trump said the move would not end the blockade, according to The Associated Press.
Iran’s joint military command said “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state … under strict management and control of the armed forces,” adding it will keep restrictions in place as long as the U.S. blocks Iranian ports.

Hasan averages between 20-30,000 viewers for his streams.
Half are not American and a non zero number are view bots.
The dems are catering to someone who may only have 5-10k American voters and many of them are the same people every day
Josh Kraushaar@JoshKraushaar
“International audiences lower the bar even further; only about half of Hasan’s audience is American. Ezra Klein is ready to embrace Piker as an important voice within the Democratic coalition based on his popular appeal, but a significant fraction of that appeal is to audiences who can’t even vote in American elections.”

@Write4Republic Why am I paying for corporate subsidies then?

@MattMorseTV Its the same for a red state leftist. The only way forward is to work together to take down the system that put us here. It isn't red vs blue. Its the 1% vs the 99%.

No one is more Right-wing than a blue-state conservative.
Unless you've seen first hand, up close and personal, the damage that the far-Left is capable of causing, it's all theoretical.
I spent the first 25 years of my life in Portland, Oregon. I have seen, with my own two eyes, the real world consequences of far-Left political ideology.
Neighborhoods - destroyed.
Crime rates - skyrocketing.
Small businesses - gutted.
Homeless population - through the roof.
Illegal aliens - everywhere.
Housing costs - stratospheric.
Public parks and playgrounds - littered with used needles.
Sidewalks - covered in graffiti and human feces.
Your old friend from highschool - overdosed, dead.
Take it as a warning from me -- we can NEVER let these people win.

@comrade_casey I mean not camps, but I'd say offering money to attend classes should be considered.

@cturnbull1968 If you have a second home you arent bearly making it.
English
If he can tax the second homes of millionaires, that are worth $5M or more, that means it’s only a matter of time before he goes after the second homes of average, hard working, everyday Americans that are barely making it.
Diabolical.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Think about this: The leader of the Senate Democrats just voted against 85% of his caucus all to keep sending bulldozers to Israel, so it can continue to demolish Palestinian and Lebanese people's homes.
Prem Thakker@prem_thakker
🚨 Record high 40 Senators vote to block $300M of bulldozers to Israel. Blumenthal, Coons, Cortez Masto, Fetterman, Gillibrand, Rosen, Schumer voted w/ Republicans. Along with demolishing Palestinian homes, Israel used a bulldozer to kill 23-year-old American Rachel Corrie.
