I love that people are community noting @BarackObama that "he did it too" when the entire premise of the current rise to power was that it wasn't being done the right way.

no law enforcement has shot an innocent person. illegals are committing violent crimes everyday.
Community note
Video evidence and police statements show the man shot by federal agents was a U.S. citizen ICU nurse with no criminal record holding a phone, not a gun, when approached; his holstered weapon was removed before he was shot. nytimes.com/live/2026/us/m… theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j…

This chart shows that the top 1% of California taxpayers are responsible for more than 33% of all tax dollars.
The top 0.1% of California taxpayers payers (~17,500 people) are responsible for more than 16% of all tax revenues.
The point is that only a few people, in a state of 40M people, pay a huge portion of the state’s revenues. As one of them, I can tell you categorically that we’ve had enough. We will all move if this tax insanity doesn’t stop and pockets are organizing already to do so en masse.
The middle class will then be left alone to pay for all the waste of the politicians you’ve elected because they have no ability to stop.

Good point. But a more important point is to ensure it doesn’t hit an iceberg.

“An inequality of property, with all the power and influence that naturally attend it, is as much to be dreaded in a republic as a hereditary aristocracy.”

The CA referendum is not a tax, it is an un-American seizure of private property upon which taxes have already been paid & deeply threatens us all. “The moment that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, anarchy and tyranny commence.” John Adams, 1787 🇺🇸🇺🇸

John Adams viewed property as essential for liberty, seeing it as a buffer against government overreach, a source of personal independence, and crucial for a virtuous republic, though he also warned against concentrated wealth.

As a national security strategy “peace through strength” (etched in the framed gift below) can be necessary, but you also don’t need to know much more than what you learned in kindergarten to understand that it is not fundamentally peaceful.

The country feels like Bud Fox in Wall Street sucking up to Gordon Gecko, and despite the entertainment, we all knew Lou was right:
“Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.”

Clarifying whether a private company is allowed to train its AI models on government and military data is probably the closest thing to an existential question

Some people complain about Trump’s overreach but we too easily forget when Biden’s EPA tried to destroy SpaceX with a $148,748 fine for violating the Clean Water Act.

In the history of the world there has never been a tax law provision passed on the wealthy that wasn’t subject to years of litigation. And tax law - especially when related to the intermix of people, trusts and companies - is very very hard to write well to capture any tax.
This is turning out to be quite the pattern in hard left legislation and propositions: say explicitly it doesn’t do X.
But through procedure, regulation or litigation, the outcome is X.
In this case 50% of Larry and Sergey’s Alphabet shares get stuck in litigation for years
