She wasn't just along for the ride with Bezos, she helped found Amazon. She wasn't involved directly for the part where it became huge and evil, though

I sincerely disagree

I don't think Newsom has a chance in hell of winning the Democratic primary. Calling him the "frontrunner" is just fluff, the primaries are still over two years away

Hopefully someone decided to scan and share this rather than just show it to a TV camera at medium range

No argument here. My response was to the idea that the US has never had any form of accountability for presidents, which is just not true.

Well, we did, it just requires functional legislative and judicial branches, which we no longer have

Edit: Y'all, accountability ≠ jail or death. The US Legislature and Supreme Court have reined in presidential power for literally the entire existence of the US. Even during the first Trump Admin this happened. What's happening now is a total abdication of the separation of powers

Did literally anyone think this was going to pass the Senate? This was entirely expected

So "nearly half" of California's income tax revenue comes from the top 1% of earners, and "a few hundred" billionaires would be subject to this one-time tax.

There are approximately 20 million workers in California, so the top 1% of earners is about 200,000 people.

Even with a high end estimate, roughly 195,500 of the top 1% of earners will not be subject to this one-time tax. This bill only targets the top 0.0025% of earners in California. One four-hundredth of the top one percent.
