Shocking video is now going viral showing what the once-beautiful MacArthur Park in Los Angeles looks like under Mayor Karen Bass, with it looking more like a clip out of a zombie movie.

@sourceryy @friedberg We’re functionally bankrupt because the politicians stole all the money. Get rid of the fraud and abuse, we would have a balanced budget.
English
.@friedberg says "California is functionally bankrupt":
"People don't realize how screwed California is. I worry that if California falls, so does the union."
"We're $250 billion to $1 trillion short."
"If it was the federal government, they would just print more money. California doesn't have the ability to print money, so California has to pay this out, and you can't restructure retirement benefits."
"There's a Supreme Court case in California that said once an employee has been offered retirement benefits, even if they're currently an employee, you can never restructure their retirement benefits. It has to stay forever."
"And the state cannot declare bankruptcy. There's no way for the state to functionally declare bankruptcy. There's no law to allow it."
"No state has ever declared bankruptcy, and the the retirement benefits sit senior to the bonds in California. So you have to pay out the retirement benefits before you pay out all the bond holders that have loaned California the money that they use to run all their programs and services."
" This isn't about taxes and Billionaire Tax Act. I don't think you can tax your way out of this problem. People will just leave the state."
"California's functional bankruptcy is a major risk to the country and we need to figure out what we can change to fix it."

WOAH 🚨 Spencer Pratt reviews that Los Angeles officials are signing agreements with the Democratic Socialists of America after taking money from them
The contracts are to CO-GOVERN with the DSA
Meaning in exchange for the campaign contributions they do what the party says
“When you sign up with the DSA, you sign a contract to co-govern with the DSA”
“How is it legal?”
“DSA gives you an endorsement, you sign a contract with them to co-govern. So right now she's not representing her district as an American citizen, a Los Angeles. She's representing the Democrat Socialist of America.”
He’s referring to Nithya Raman and other Democrats who take money and get endorsements

@JasonL_Capital Still going in the wrong direction. It might be cheap but doesn’t mean it’s worth it. Needs to at the minimum reclaim the 50 and start working towards the 200.

You could buy 100 shares of $NOW right now for $9,077
Or you could buy the $90 call LEAP expiring June 2027 for $2,500
Same directional exposure. ~72% less capital. Over 416 days of runway.
The trade:
Strike: $90
Expiration: June 17, 2027
Premium: ~$25.00 per contract
Breakeven: $115
If $NOW hits $120, this LEAP returns ~20%
If $NOW hits $140, this LEAP returns ~100%
If $NOW hits $160, this LEAP returns ~180%
Buying 100 shares at $90.77 and watching it hit $160 is a ~76% return. The LEAP returns 180% on roughly a quarter of the capital.
Why I like the setup:
- Q1 2026 subscription revenue up 22% YoY to $3.67B
- CEO projecting $1.5B in AI product sales for 2026 - 50% higher than prior forecasts
- Now Assist customers spending $1M+ grew over 130% YoY
- Becoming the AI operating layer for enterprise workflows
- 5-for-1 split in December 2025 opened the stock to a wider retail audience
- 416 days to expiration gives the AI monetization thesis time to compound
The max you can lose on a LEAP is the entire premium you paid. In this case, that's $2,500 per contract. LEAPs are leveraged and can lose value quickly if the stock drops or stays flat. Only size this so you're comfortable losing all of it.
Note: LEAPs are one tool inside a broader portfolio. Owning shares is always the primary use of capital. This is a selective add-on for high-conviction moments when conditions align.

💰 Are reinvested dividends taxable?
Short answer: YES — even if you never see the cash.
Whether you take dividends as cash or automatically reinvest them through a DRIP, the IRS still wants its cut.
✅ Qualified dividends = lower capital gains rates (0/15/20%) ✅ Ordinary dividends = taxed at your regular income rate

Most investors can pay 0%, 15%, or 20% tax on dividends instead of the 37% rate.
The secret? Qualified dividends + the 61-day holding rule.

Every year your money sits idle, it loses real buying power — while stocks, real estate, and other assets keep growing.

🚨Gavin Newsom’s fire relief racket just got IRS confirmation: $800 million in “Fire Aid” for Pacific Palisades and LA wildfire victims never reached one single person.
It flowed straight into NGOs — including one Newsom and his wife personally created.
That group just quietly scrubbed itself from the website as the story broke.
Pure California grift.

Ohh my god it’s true
California Democrats wrote in the Billionaires Tax Bill they can amend the tax to apply to all California residents by a simply 2/3 majority with no votes needed from residents
The legislative authority clause allows future 2/3 majority amendments by the Legislature (no voter approval needed) if they further the Act’s purposes
This enables broadening, like lowering thresholds to include more people or making it recurring. This turns the “Billionaire Tax” into something substantially wider
Section 50308 defines the scope (who qualifies as an “applicable individual”)
Meaning everyone
This bill is a Trojan horse

$META Last year I remember the stock went a record 20 straight green days. Absurd price action ngl. Each day hitting a fresh ATH. Literally no one dared to short it. If you even mention being bearish on X you were stoned so hard you became a 2D figurine.
What happened the next 20 days?
It gave it ALL back and then some more.
Lol.
Somtimes trust your gut when something is too good to be true.

On page twenty-six of “The Billionaire Tax” proposal in California, it explains how the state legislature can convert from a Billionaire Tax to an Everyone Tax without voter approval.
They can also adjust the tax to be a yearly tax, not just one time…again, without your approval.
Intelligence test for you: if this was meant to just target Billionaires, why did they write this in?
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath
The Billionaire Tax is actually an Everyone Tax. The Billionaire Tax is a new tax proposal written by four professors who don't believe in the American dream. Some of them aren’t even American…go figure. Despite its name, it applies to every California resident who currently has assets or ever will. The creators named it the Billionaire Tax so you would get into a froth andwouldn't look closely at what it actually does to you. On page twenty-six, it explains how the government can convert to an Everyone Tax without voter approval. They can also adjust the tax to be a yearly tax, not just one time…again, without your approval. Here's how the tax would work: As a voter, you're being asked to approve a tax that would require you to: 1. list all your assets and the value of each, then submit them to the California Franchise Tax Board. 2. authorize the tax board to appraise your assets and confirm the value of each. 3. pay a penalty of up to forty percent of your tax bill if the board determines your reported value was too low in their opinion. 4. allow the tax board to subpoena your financial records from every one of your financial institutions for auditing. This Everyone Tax runs 34 pages of shifty language describing how the government plans to take your assets. Read the fine print and decide for yourself. If this were truly a billionaire tax, it would be 3 pages. It’s 34 pages so that it can create the mechanisms to steal from all of you.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ If the house wasn’t being lived in, having cars parked on the driveway may appear to outsiders that someone might live there and squatters might look for a different house to squat in.
English
This man owns this house. It is being renovated and no one lives there.
He came to his property and found the neighbors cars parked there. Not just one but five.
When he told them to move their cars they got mad at him!
He told them there are contractors that need to park there and he also pointed out there is plenty of street parking.
The neighbors said the house has been empty for quite some time and it’s a dump.
How would you react if you came home to one of your properties and five cars were parked in the driveway?
