If passed, the groundbreaking tax would target stock portfolios, trust funds and art collections of California’s richest residents.

TODAY'S BIG Q:
Do you agree with the Supreme Court rejecting Hawaii’s law that restricts guns on private property (e.g., stores and diners)?

Before the Military Industrial Complex, countries that built armies had to conquer land, resources etc. to cover the costs of military action.
But with the MIC, we just shoot a bunch of missiles ($$$$$), half-ass the job, so we can come back later and shoot a bunch of missiles ($$$$$) again.
There’s no substitute for taking shit over, but we can’t be like “W” and ignore public support for leaders like Saddam etc., the equation does involve competence. More people would support military spending if we used the historically-proven method of taking shit over. The MIC agenda is just a fireworks show to rob the taxpayers.

We must spend big on defense to save America’s economic might

@pacificbiznews All I ever wanted was a clothes washer and dryer like Japan hotels have.

Hotels across the state are adding wellness spas, adults-only pools and club floors with dedicated concierge service. The shift reflects changing expectations from higher-spending guests. bizjournals.com/pacific/news/2…

@joeroganhq Taking credit for Ozempic? That’s funny!! Drop the H in MAHA. Replace it with W for weak?

There are so many films today that deliberately tug at “white guilt, especially among successful people made to feel ashamed of their achievements. Actors & filmmakers strain to signal virtue by painting the world as irredeemably selfish and racist.
It says far more about the creators than society. Feels like they’re projecting what they know lives inside themselves.

@AsianDawn4 Would be nice to enforce this more then and get the crackheads into jail or rehab. That said, good point about driving with child there.

@AsianDawn4 If she didn't pay for the services, I'm glad she's facing jail time. But the public intoxication charge feels inconsistent. I see crackhead homeless openly drugged out in public every day with zero consequences. Why the selective enforcement? Put them all in jail please.

@YALiberty @RandPaul In the real world, when we discover a Ponzi scheme, we don't 'adjust' it or prop it up with more forced contributions. We shut it down, prosecute the operators, and make victims whole where possible.

"Social Security insolvency is here."
Sen. @RandPaul is one of the only people in Washington with a plan 👇

@mtgreenee @grok is this $300Billion from their seized accounts or are the US taxpayers paying for this reconstruction?
English

@johnnykirios @libsoftiktok Okay. I guess everything is great then. Nothing to see here, move on.

@SurferErek @libsoftiktok Every number in that post has a source. If the facts feel like spin, that says more about your priors than my argument.

@johnnykirios @libsoftiktok Spin and deflect. You must work for Hannity

73% of federal spending is locked...Social Security, Medicare, debt interest. No president can cut that without Congress. Blaming Trump for "not cutting spending" while ignoring that structural reality is either ignorant or dishonest.
DOGE cut 271,000 federal jobs...fastest peacetime workforce reduction in American history. The swamp didn't just get trimmed, it got gutted.
"Token deportations"? 2.5 million illegal aliens are GONE. Border crossings collapsed. Fentanyl trafficking down 56%. The border is the most secure it's been in decades.
The left spent 4 years weaponizing DOJ against political opponents. Rebuilding actual prosecutorial integrity takes time. Rushing it makes you them.
One Big Beautiful Bill extends tax cuts that prevented a massive middle-class tax hike. The deficit math is real but so is the alternative.
Results in 16 months vs. promises that took 4 years to break? I'll take it.
English

Trump hasn’t delivered net cuts to total federal spending, FY2025 hit $7T+ and it’s still climbing on autopilot entitlements & debt interest. The swamp bureaucracy remains entrenched despite some workforce trims. Mass deportations? Not yet..just ramped-up enforcement and token numbers so far. Not one dirty politician from the last 4 years have been held accountable.
