@BernieSanders @RealC0rnP0p Yeah…They know that all the money will go to their overinflated pensions.

Congratulations to the California unions who have gotten over 1.5 million people to sign a petition to put a Billionaire Wealth Tax on the ballot.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, the richest people in our country must start paying their fair share of taxes.

California’s billionaire tax has the signatures to make the ballot, backers Say on.wsj.com/4vSXyOU

@TukiFromKL Perhaps some day you will realize that any money raised from ballot propositions and initiatives will not be spent on the things that sound good, but will just be put in the general fund to pay for the overinflated salaries, benefits and pensions of public employees.

1.5 million Californians just signed a petition to tax the state's 200 billionaires 5%.. one time.. to fund hospitals, schools and food programs..
they needed 875,000 signatures.. they got nearly double..
and California's own governor is fighting against it..
the billionaires live in the same state where hospitals are closing and people can't afford groceries.. and the one person who's supposed to represent the people just told the New York Times he's fighting to protect them..
1.5 million signatures and it still might not matter.. because the people who write the checks aren't the ones who sign the petitions

A petition for the California billionaire tax, which would implement a one-time 5% tax on the state's 200 billionaires to fund healthcare programs, has received 1.5 million signatures — which could help it qualify for the November ballot. Gavin Newsom shared that he was fighting against this amendment in a previous interview with The New York Times.

@davidaxelrod @jimmykimmel He's neither funny nor courageous....He's a one trick pony who caters to the TDS demographic that find him funny and courageous
English
I like @jimmykimmel. He's funny & courageous at a time when there has been too much cowardice.
That said, this WAS a tasteless joke.
The WH will use any issue to demand he be fired because his satire touches a nerve, and ABC is right to resist.
But he'd be right to apologize.

First Lady Melania Trump has issued a statement demanding that ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel.

@RoyCooperNC "We’re the richest country in the world. It doesn’t have to be this way."
Elect this guy and we won't be the richest any more.

North Carolinians are struggling with health care costs and insurance companies are ripping them off.
We’re the richest country in the world. It doesn’t have to be this way.

🚨BREAKING: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) Monday unveiled a new gerrymandered congressional map that seeks to carve out four additional GOP-friendly seats in the Sunshine State. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/fl…

@NC_Governor Yeah...Imagine someone who was born out of state into a wealthy family telling North Carolinians what to do...Oh wait, that's you.

Between a wealthy out-of-stater and a North Carolina elementary school student – I know who I’m championing.

My family and I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump and Norah O’Donnell last night, and we were shocked. Seeing a president speak to a woman journalist with that level of contempt — and a clear allergy to facts — is disturbing, though at this point not unexpected given his pattern of behavior.
But that is the problem. Because when that level of disrespect from the highest office in the country repeats itself, it starts to trickle down into our culture and define what power looks like, shaping how boys and plenty of men see women and girls and what they come to accept as normal behavior.

@LangmanVince She apparently received one free excursion for complaining about the pool...Now she posts a video complaining about everything, hoping to get a lifetime pass.

#BREAKING: Florida resident: “I struggle everyday and now I’m taking care of my mom who’s older and denied [insurance] simple simple things like breathing meds…so I don’t eat this week because I have to take mom to the doctors tomorrow…so you decide what’s more important…you’ve got to make tough choices and tough choices today is tough for anybody, whether you’re from this country or not.”😢
Velshi: “So I don’t eat tonight… in every other developed country in the world, no one ever has to say that. That’s the Donald Trump economy in which we live in now…”

@davidaxelrod Why should we trust voting when you and the Democrats are against voter id?
English
There is an awesome weapon in the arsenal of democracy to affect change and express our strongly felt disagreements with incumbents and their policies.
Voting!
Violence is never the answer.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
At our city-owned grocery stores, staples like eggs and bread will actually be affordable. And we're going to do it the right way, without cutting workers' pay or dignity. Because in the wealthiest city in this country, buying groceries shouldn't be an unsolvable equation. It should be simple, fair, and within reach for everyone.

@JayInslee Antifa sympathizer lecturing us about respect for law enforcement....Never forgot.
English
We cannot forget that while Trump praises law enforcement for protecting him, he totally disrespected law enforcement officers who protected democracy against his coup attempt on Jan. 6. Never forget.

@JustinParmenter They keep men out of girl's restrooms too...The horror.

Case in point, NC's Millersville Christian Academy got $1,774,803 in public voucher funds this year.
MCA bars admission to LGBTQ+ students, and if a student is even discovered to have an LGBTQ+ family member they'll be expelled. #nced #ncpol
Justin Parmenter@JustinParmenter
Public schools accept all students, honor them for who they are and do our best to support their learning with the resources that we have. Private schools that receive public voucher dollars can expel voucher students for absurd reasons and keep the taxpayers' $. #nced #ncga

I was with my friend @BarackObama in 2007, the day he, as a candidate, was assigned Secret Service protection, Laura, because of the intense nature and volume of threats against him. We've seen Dems and Rs targeted. This is an American problem. So maybe it's you who should give it a rest?
Laura Ingraham@IngrahamAngle
Give it a rest, David. Focus on rooting out the assassination culture and anti-American bile in your own once great party.
