Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling.
Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics.
So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?
See the problem...

New reports CONFIRM the US was responsible for killing an entire girls' school in Iran.
But that didn't stop Trump’s biggest donor & co-founder of ChatGPT, signing a deal giving AI to the US military for mass surveillance + killing.
Be a shame if everyone found out and deleted their account x
Massive thanks to our tremendous fire service. 💙
Shell CEO’s pay jumps 60% to £13.8m. Did yours?
Execs rewarded for profiteering.
Average real pay for workers hardly changed since 2008.
Govts claim worker pay rises are inflationary, but silence on exec pay, dividends, share buyback and corporate tax abuses.
Such a powerful maiden speech from our amazing new Green MP Hannah Spencer - take a few moments to listen & celebrate that a bit more humanity has entered Westminster & hope is beginning to feel more normal 👇
The feeling's mutual
A drunken TV host installed as presidential stooge and insisting on professionalism in military leadership is laughable, of course.
But that's not what he means.
What he wants is a military leadership which is not loyal to the Constitution but to a regime led by an autocratic malevolent criminal.

Like many of the tech bros, particularly the AI ones, he is also accused of raping a child. In his case his own sister.
UK govt "will not tolerate" energy firms profiteering from Iran war.
It will do what?
Ofgem allows profiteering: electricity pricing formula is based on price of gas, renewables are the cheapest. Profiteering is built in.
Change the formula, levy windfall tax, prosecute profiteering execs.
Ah sure it already has, I’m very hirsute.
I think he’s been mainlining his own product 😳
Or Heston Blumenthal, that crispy rat is right up his street.
Shan’t. Folds arms.
Breaking.
British National (my mother) pictured earlier today drinking coffee outside in Dubai. All tables occupied. Don't believe the hyperbole.
We're sick if it.
Nobody is getting paid to defend the UAE. We've got nothing to moan about as hardly anything is getting through.
It's not Gaza
The NHS will soon publish national data on corridor care for the first time.
Transparency matters but measuring patients treated in corridors won’t fix the crisis.
Patients need safe spaces, enough staff and enough beds.

I’ve got a nice Omega watch, I think it’s the De Ville Prestige, Mr Badger bought it for me when he was feeling flush 😂
I’ve also got a Snoopy and Woodstock watch that properly goes ‘tick-tick’ 😀
Oh that’s a thing of beauty! Nice chunky hands that you know will treat you well and always give you an ‘extra couple of minutes’ ☺️
Maybe pace yourself?
Barking mate, completely barking.
That’s lovely! I think I might have a go at knitting some drone nets.
Bloody brilliant! UFO = unidentified fatty object 😄
Who are we? Citizens or Cannon Fodder?
How to get owned for knowing [a] nothing about Scotland & [b] less about Guinness. Irish Guinness is pasteurised differently to British. The latter tastes like washing-up liquid* Try Murphy’s in Scotland for Irish porter. Scotland has better local porters &, of course, Irn Bru. I’m an Oban advocate.
