To be clear: Tech billionaires are openly discussing buying a primary election against @RoKhanna because he wants them to pay a one-time tax. This is what an oligarchy looks like.
Some tech leaders / donors now talking about primarying Ro Khanna, who has long had support from those tech leaders and donors...

Khanna: Here’s what I don’t understand. I’m for taxing the billionaires more. In the 435 districts in America, no one has more billionaires than my district. If the guy who has all the billionaires can say, “Tax them more,” how is this a hard vote for the other 434 members? We need to tax the billionaires and the ultra-wealthy to provide Medicare for All, universal education, and fairness in America.

A crowd this size in *Kenosha, WI* in March of an “off year” is absolutely wild

Nobody should have any doubt about where the president stands now. He stands with Russia, Putin, the bullies & dictators. For Trump, vulnerability=weakness, power=strength. Are all Republicans so afraid that they will not speak up even as the world & the US are at risk??

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people just passed $2 trillion. 12 people. $2 trillion. The bottom half of America collectively holds $3.5 trillion. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Again, I am remembering 2020 when the entire national press corps berated Bernie Sanders for suggesting that Jeff Bezos exerts influence over the Washington Post newsroom that he owns. I'm now waiting for all the apologies to come in...waiting...still waiting...
A WaPo endorsement for president had been written and was ready to publish before Jeff Bezos decided the paper would not endorse.

1. Pharmacy benefit managers can wield significant influence over drug pricing and access. But they operate in opaque markets that can obscure their practices. That’s why @FTC launched an inquiry into PBMs. We've now released an interim staff report. ftc.gov/news-events/news/pre…

The media should be talking about this plan for a Trump presidency and contrast it with the Biden record and plans for the future. instagram.com/p/C9K5AicSQN7/…

40% of French voters voted for far-right in EU elections. Macron dissolved French Parliament, called for snap legislative elections. Sovereignty, cost-of-living & migration pushed voters to the right. Will Germany’s EPP Ursula von der Leyen be re-elected President of EU in July?

27 European countries are voting today. The Left (now 37 seats in EU), Greens (71), Social Democrats (139), Liberals (102) & the center are expected to lose seats & the far right to pick up seats. This matters. The results will determine leadership of the EU for the next 5 years.
