22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40.
By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

SpaceX is worth $2 trillion. So why hasn’t it paid this Bay Area chef the $70,000 it owes him?
A Bay Area restaurant owner says Elon Musk’s SpaceX owes him $70,000 for two dinners he catered in Palo Alto. “That’s not even a penny for them,” he said.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.
This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.
Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country.
Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high.
Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record.
Noticing a pattern?
