Had a look at income tax in 1945 and applied them to 2025 dollars. Unlike today, there are 24 brackets; 20 split differences between 100k+ up to 3.6M+
In other words, if you make under 70k, you wouldn't be taxed more than 25%. If you make 100k-1M, you might be taxed anywhere from 29-78%.

We need a $30 federal minimum wage by 2030 and price controls for necessities.
Congratulations to the 19 states raising the minimum wage in 2026.
But let’s be clear: a $7.25 federal minimum wage is a national disgrace.
No one who works full-time should live in poverty. We must keep fighting to guarantee all workers a living wage — not starvation wages.

As the federal minimum wage languishes, 20 states are on their way to a $15 wage floor if they haven't reached it already.

The truth of the matter is secondary, you put an allegation into the puke funnel and with Washington wired for conservatives it quickly becomes America's Most Important Story

BREAKING
The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

MA passed a similar tax a few years ago. We now have more millionaires than before the tax. Call their bluff.
Per NYT, billionaires are threatening to leave Cali if a wealth tax doesn’t let them keep all their billions — and Gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is opposing it, raising money against the ballot measure.
