A group of Nobel Prize-winning economists are supporting California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax, Prop 40.

They’re right to support it — and Gavin Newsom is wrong to oppose it.

Here’s why.

#ragingmoderates had a wonderful interview with Michigan Senate candidate El-Said today. Check it out. It was disheartening to hear @profgalloway.com reject him because El-Said accurately describes Gaza as a Genocide. Even Israeli scholars of genocide described Gaza this way.
September 24, 2026 at 11:01 PM
@profgalloway.com @jessicatarlov.bsky.social Your interview with el-sayed reveals your limited ability to accept to reality of the genocide in Gaza. This is not moderate. It is Zionist. And Zionism is extreme.

We’ve lost a lot of our manufacturing jobs under Trump, while we gained a lot under Biden. substack.com/@steverattne...

Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing. Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000.

I’m begging @nytopinion.nytimes.com to please ask @michellecottle to no end every show weigh the phrase, “let’s land this plane.” It’s unimaginably lame and to use it every episode makes me want to stop listening. @jamellebouie.net @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social

@hannarosin on the @theatlantic asked @Hillsdale College K-12 historian @Wilfred McClay, “How do you explain the flaws of the history of the American experience, and he responded by saying, “Compared to what?”

The answer is obvious: Compared to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

First @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social flubs his interview with #ta-nehisicoates, and now he agrees with #chrisruffo that there is a #whiterace. Why does anyone listen to him at this point?

#disclosureday fails as a film, where #ET succeeds, because #StephenSpielberg uses video cut scenes to explain the alien, instead of creating a relationship with the alien.

It would be nice if #criticsatlarge could actually criticize the Spielberg film #Disclosureday. @vinsoncunningham.bsky.social @naomifry.bsky.social @alexandraschwartz.bsky.social It was a bad film that failed to make the human experience of aliens because it relied heavily on video sequences. Lame.

It's interesting to see what is considered 'extremist' in the USA through a non-USA lens. The idea that Mamdani or AOC are extremists from a European perspective is laughable when you actually look beyond the name-calling to their concrete policies, and downright offensive to compare them to MAGA.
We are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists.

If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side.

We need moderates.

Four years since the Dobbs decision, America is grappling with a health care crisis that Republicans continue to make worse by trying to undermine women's rights and freedoms.

Republican abortion bans are preventing women from receiving lifesaving medical care, putting their health in jeopardy.

It is so frustrating to @davidbrooks on #pbsnewshour saying the war with Iran started in 1979, ignorant of the U.S. overthrow of the Iranian democracy in 1953 by the United States. #propaganda #media #davidbrooks

Hearing @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social discussion the illegal invasion and overthrow of Venezuela is the highest form of irony, when you remember that he continues to argue that the illegal invasion and overthrowing of Iraq was the right thing to do. He is a war criminal. #bulwark @thebulwark.com

@thebulwark.com it is hard to listen to your podcast when @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social is talking about lies that aid government abuses. Do you forget that he still supports the lies that led to the Iraq war and the hundreds of thousands that were killed? He makes me gag with his hypocrisy!

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social your recent argument that #charliekirk was “practicing politics the right way” would suggest that you are not familiar with the idea of stochastic terrorism: the use of mass media to marginalize and dehumanize political opponents and incite violence against them.

@politico.com today’s Playbook podcast was unfairly biased against Joe Biden, and overtly fawning towards Trump. Joe Biden was portrayed negatively and Trump as heroic. Not journalism.
