It looks like voters will get a say on whether to maintain the tax on income over $1 million that was passed earlier this year- and I look forward to the public having their say on this important policy. To be clear, this reform of our regressive tax code included expansion of tax credits for working families, relief for small businesses, and investments in K-12 and affordable childcare. One more thing voters should know: so long as I am Governor I will veto ANY attempt to lower the threshold or raise the rate of this tax-- we are asking those who make the most to pay a little more, and providing relief to workers and small businesses. Let's keep it that way.
Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama.
Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.
@BarackObama I don’t have to know anything about this story to know that this is great news for the American people, based solely on your communist reaction to it. I love knowing something positive has happened in this country.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

🚨 “WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON?” — KATIE COURIC WARNS 17 CANCERS ARE SKYROCKETING… AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY
Katie Couric says doctors are now seeing something they can’t ignore:
• A 21-year-old with stage 4 colorectal cancer — no family history
• Patients in their 20s, 30s, 40s being diagnosed late… already metastatic
• 17 different cancers increasing among people under 50
And even specialists are struggling to explain it.
Possible factors being discussed:
• Ultra-processed food
• Microplastics + “forever chemicals”
• Antibiotic overuse
• Environmental exposure
Couric: “It’s not just lifestyle… something is going on.”
And the most unsettling part?
Many cases are being caught too late.
So what changed?
What do you think is actually behind this spike?

Gavin Newsom's wife recalls telling prisoners at San Quentin about running over and killing her sister with a golf cart.
She said that she wasn't punished because it was an accident but that the prisoners are doing life even though theirs was "probably an accident too."
@DailyMail This is why no one but journalists like the main stream media, even journalists, if they were honest with themselves, would admit they don’t actually even like themselves.
Washington state elections are convenient and secure. We will stand up for the right of Washingtonians to vote, including by mail.

@GovBobFerguson Sales tax is the most regressive tax, and it harms the poorest people the most! 8-10% on things they can barley afford! If you wanna help the poor, waive sales tax for them. But we all know you don’t care about facts and reality. You’re a commie.
