Peter Thiel says he’ll leave California if they pass a 1% wealth tax on billionaires for five years. So… how much would it take to make him leave the U.S.?

They got caught. They’re backing down. But this isn’t over.
There needs to be a class action lawsuit.
Instacart admitted it was using AI to charge different people different prices for the exact same items. Algorithmic price gouging. That scam could cost a family of four $1,200 more a year.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

Because Republicans prioritized a massive tax break for billionaires over making health care more affordable for you.

THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.
These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.
