Critics of wealth taxes used to say that the revenue raised would be insignificant. But if you taxed only the wealth separating Elon Musk from the world’s second richest man at just 5%, you’d cover the entire multiyear cost of the rural health transformation project in one shot.

250 billionaires own half of California GDP. Taxing them at 2% would save healthcare for millions. Healthcare workers have already compromised from 5%. 85% of VC money came to California in Q1 2026. The capital flight argument is nonsense. The only reason to oppose this is if you want to protect the donor class. It's about protecting money in politics. I want a Democratic party that will stand for the working class. This is a moral test for our party. Whose side are you on? nytimes.com/2026/06/18/us/… via @NYTimes

@RoKhanna a family making 150k, 3k would do absolutely nothing. They make 12.5k a month. and extra < $300 a month is a complete joke
English
If it went directly to families making $150,000 would you support it? Bernie and my plan gives a check of $3000 to working families.
Nick shirley@nickshirleyy
@RoKhanna Start using the money wisely and no need to tax ANYONE more. Stop asking for money until you guys figure out how to spend it correctly
English
@RoKhanna 3k ill do NOTHING to "working families" because the people you want to give the money to are pertetually in debt. 3k is nothing. thats not even $300 a month. What joke.

@LauraLoomer Ai does nothing for the avg joe but spy on them and collect sellable data. period. they are for the rich and corporoations only
idgaf if china wins some imaginary bullshit data scraping battle
English
People who are saying they won’t allow data centers to be built obviously want China to win the AI race.
I agree we should protect land and not destroy our natural reserves to build data centers, which is why my proposal is for the data centers to replace mosques.
There are thousands of Jihadi mosques in America preaching death to Americans and recruiting impressionable young men to carry out Jihad.
How about we have @SecMullinDHS @ICEgov conduct some raids on the mosques, arrest their terrorist leaders for plotting jihad and take over the mosques and make the mosques data centers?
Everyone wins in the end and we don’t allow Chinese Communists to defeat us.
Some of these mosques are massive.

@perrymetzger The problem is they wont be the ones controlling the market and widely available public options make them less necessary and will cost them ALOT in their greedy pockets

I’ve seen this trope posted by a lot of doctors in the last 24 hours. The claim from doctors is that Midjourney’s cheap full body scanner is bad, because people would get treated unnecessarily for harmless conditions, and that would increase death rates.
Now, I have a lot of skepticism about Midjourney’s announcement (a lot of skepticism) but I think that the doctors are failing to look in the mirror.
What they are saying is, in effect, that they cannot be trusted with having more information about patients. That, if you give doctors too much information about a patient’s condition, they may kill the patient by treating them unnecessarily.
This isn’t a problem with inexpensive full body scanners.
This is a problem with doctors and medical practices.
Jeremy S. Pollock@bmorecardiology
Same issue w full body MRI.. indiscriminate screening of healthy people causes harm Making the scan quicker and cheaper… likely will increase the scale of the harm. @CanesDavid @afshineemrani @grok explain harms in screening a population w low pretest probability for disease

@Romy_Holland $30 is avg in a city that pays 20 for mcds....let that sink in

i’m trying to find a part time babysitter in july and a ppl keep telling me their rate is $30/hr. this seems high to me? babysitting one kid for a few hours is a low skill and pretty chill job. it’s equivalent in skill to being a fast food employee, which pays $20/hr.

@FabiodrivenIII @EYakoby So its fine to drop it and focus on the politically relevant meme for the next cycle. got it.
English
It’s been 24 hours since the Rape Gang Inquiry was released, exposing the most sadistic acts of sexual violence perpetrated in human history.
The podcaster class, who has nonstop talked about Epstein, hasn’t said a word about Islamists raping some 250,000 young girls.
Weird.
English
@FabiodrivenIII @EYakoby Wow, such meme. much rebuttal.
Maybe next time have "dey joos" do your meme for you
English
@thevivafrei No its literally everyone that talks like that.
You "just now" noticing that is disingenuous though and you know it.
Its literally the podcasters that had them on PLUS others.
You know this. Coy isnt in your wheelhouse.
English
I think I just figured it out…
Those saying “pay attention to who made a big deal about the Epstein files and is silent on the UK gang report” are talking about Thomas Massie.
That’s the spin, right?
Oddly enough, it was from the sheer toxicity and insanity of some of their replies that I ultimately appreciated the political spin.
Viva Frei@thevivafrei
I am genuinely confused about this new talking point. Curiously enough, the purpose seems not to highlight the UK rape gangs, but to minimize the Epstein scandal and/or call into question the integrity of those who brought attention to the Epstein scandal.
English
@FabiodrivenIII @EYakoby POD. CASTERS.
Maybe that was hard to understand...
English
@EYakoby That's how the algorithm works. My timeline is full of nothing but this subject. Yours is not because of who you follow.

@thevivafrei Thats exactly whom the podcasters are talking to though....

I read through the two criminal complaints in the foiled alleged White House UFC terror plot.
There are a lot of allegations of politics… Epstein. Israel. The war in Iran.
I appreciate those are relevant to establish “motive”.
But on the substance of the allegations of acts: the plot was to fly drones with explosives and detonate them over the crowd, and open fire on “high value targets” (a term from the complaint) as the crowd fleet.
But other than $3000 used to purchase a firearm and ammunition, they never purchased any drones or explosives.
And the perpetrator is a mentally ill 19-year-old - the only reason he was caught is because his mother called the authorities because of the bizarre behavior of her son.
Yes, a terror plot can be planned by a lone nut case - who may or may not have the means to actually carry out the attack.
Definitely seems like Proper (the main culprit) was mentally ill.

@JesusOseteDOJ Not far enough. They need to be impeached and disbarred. Period.

A sitting federal judge improperly attended Fani Willis’ election night party.
She was sanctioned.
When this came to light, she didn’t voluntarily recuse from our high profile election integrity case.
Instead, we had to move for her recusal—and sought expedited consideration.
Two weeks later, and less than a day after threatening a writ of mandamus, the judge recused.
Great team effort led by @AAGDhillon

I’m so fed up with Podcastistan.
Just so over it all. It’s truly so exhausting how insane these people are.
These people are literally a cancer and all they want to do is destroy Trump and our country.
They want to destroy our country for money and views. It’s out of control.

There are many more examples, but my favorite is from the often-wrong-but-never-in-doubt Neil Degrasse Tyson, in 2015. Note the certainty from Tyson (an astronomer), in making economic and investment predictions far outside his expertise. 8/9

Now that @elonmusk has become the first trillionaire in history, let's recall some of the media personalities, short sellers, analysts & industry "experts" who predicted his companies would fail or go bankrupt. Many were spectacularly wrong. 🧵 1/9

BREAKING: Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire. After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own. Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion. Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity. Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.
