Gov. Gavin Newsom et al are parroting billionaire propaganda in favor of Prop 42 by implying that the retirement savings of ordinary Californians are under threat. Total BS. The goal of the measure is to pre-empt any future state tax on the vast, excessive, untaxed wealth of tech moguls. Period.
California billionaires may well prevail in their quest to block a state wealth tax
They're spending a fortune to spread fear about Prop. 40 and push countermeasures—with help from Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Our Presidency is a Not a Criminal Enterprise

It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising
Yes. My median scenario is Trump rants, it becomes their talking point, DOJ probably files some more junk suits like these, but then not much else happens. There's real risk of worse, some full push to go insane on Jan 3, but more likely it doesn't get that far, and also that would still fail.
