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...

Bernie Sanders: "I think we need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on these data centers. Frankly, I think you gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us, 'It's coming, you adapt.' What are they talking about? Are they gonna

I didn’t have @RoKhanna taking on the billionaire class on my holiday bingo card, but I’m here for it. We need more leaders who are unflinching in the face of irrational criticism from the uber wealthy. His clarity, intelligence and calm temperament are a fresh breath of air!

I’m sure people feel very sorry for the billionaires who MIGHT face a small tax on the wealth they are accumulating by giving a robot your job, spiking your electric bill, and destroying the planet.
@RonDeSantis To be clear, the Billionaire Tax Act in California is not (just) an unrealized gains tax. It’s a 5% across-the-board confiscation of net worth. It applies even if one has already realized and paid taxes on the entire amount.

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet. See the problem?

If the U.S. invested in child care & policies like paid leave comparable to other industrialized countries, we’d generate $775 billion of economic activity a year. The question isn’t, “how can we afford to do this?” The question is, “how can we afford not to?” Let’s do this.

“For any official that wants to talk a big game about taking on affordability, we need to ask them 'is that going to include accountability?'" @linamkhan on the need for states to hold corporate wrongdoers exploiting pricing schemes accountable for jacking up costs👇

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Any individual initiative or bill will be reviewed thoroughly in our process for timing, form, and amount. But, our unions and workers have and will continue to demand that billionaires pay their fair share.

To be clear: @CaliforniaLabor has a position in support of wealth taxes & taxing billionaires. Any individual proposal or initiative will be taken up during our endorsement process next year. The Gov does not speak on behalf of organized labor.
👀👀 Asked about wealth tax, @GavinNewsom takes a shot at @seiu_uhw head Dave Regan: "We have one individual that represents one labor union in the state of California" fighting for it "The vast majority of labor opposes , and almost everyone I know opposes," Newsom adds

80% of Americans say we should prioritize regulating AI, yet Trump could soon enact an executive order blocking all state AI regulations. Why? Look no further than the AI industry's massive lobbying war chest.
