Other things the U.S. government do with $50 billion taxpayer dollars:
—Clear the medical debt of 20 million Americans
—House every homeless veteran 113 times
—Prevent 6.2 million Americans from being kicked off Medicaid
—Buy the entire state of Nevada a late model Toyota Corolla
Nothing in life is certain but death, taxes, billionaires using geopolitical conflict to give themselves a raise, and largely dodging the tax part too
Magazine style cover of Ken Griffin with dollar signs over his eyes, in front of a burning pile of cash. Headlines read: DOCS, DEPARTMENT OF CLASS SOLIDARITY HOW TO BLOW A BILLION A GIFT GUIDE BASED ON CITADEL BILLIONAIRE KEN GRIFFIN'S EXTRAVAGANT PURCHASES FOR HIMSELF CONSTITUTION? A BASQUIAT? PENTHOUSE? DINOSAUR!?!
Imagine Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire wealth tax passes. People like hedge funder Ken Griffin, who fueled the crusade to close 50 Chicago public schools, will be tightening their belts.
So if you're looking for a gift to cheer him up, check out what the man defunding our schools already owns🧵
A reminder that Tesla owner Elon Musk awarded himself a trillion dollar pay package based on 'meeting targets' like this.
Fighting for working people is good politics

Taxing the rich to fund programs like universal childcare would benefit millions of New Yorkers but it would make it harder for me specifically to tell my mom why she doesn't have grandkids yet
The average New York family would have to make $334,000 a year to afford childcare care for a two year old in New York City.
4x the median family income.
The equivalent of 10 minimum wage jobs.
Tax the rich to fund universal childcare.
This Billionaire is killing TikTok Eerie black and white photo of Jeffrey Yass
You may not have heard of the 19th richest man on earth, but you’ve seen his work.
Meet Jeff Yass, the richest man in Pennsylvania and school privatization zealot who’s 180 on Trump steered TikTok into MAGA control.
TIL that the richest man in New York pays just 3.7% in taxes - compared to 14% for the median New York household
When @governor.ny.gov says she's not going to tax the rich, this is who she is protecting.
Meet Michael Bloomberg. The richest man in New York. 1 of 18 centibillionaires in the world. And the largest dollar donor to the effort to stop Zohran from getting elected 🧵
Another critic of the move is Charlie Heller, cofounder and communications director for the DREAM campaign, the PAC that helped Mamdani win the primary by convincing many New Yorkers not to rank Andrew Cuomo in the election’s ranked choice voting system and is now pushing to tax the rich. (The acronym stood for different things depending on which candidates were in the mayoral race at different times; most recently, it was “Don’t Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor”). Says Heller, referring to evidence that several of Hochul’s donors had ties to Jeffrey Epstein, “How can anyone believe Hochul will fund the affordability agenda when she’s protecting the bank accounts of these billionaire pedophiles?”
Is this the season of "Zochul"? Not so fast.
We broke down the risks of Hochul's Epstein Class protection gambit in @jacobinmag.bsky.social.

large red and white posters for new yorkers tax the rich campaign, with headlines: free child care, tax michael bloomberg, and tax john castimitides. posters are put up on the street in manhattan and brooklyn
Word on the street is that New Yorkers don't want @governor.ny.gov to rip healthcare from one million people in July. What we need is to Tax The Rich.
So let's remind her and her Epstein class donors what we made history voting for.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
This is Peter Thiel's M.O. In the U.S., he's embedded Palantir in key agencies like the Department of War. In Israel, he equips the IOF with the AI tools to commit their genocide.
The goal is nothing less than being the trusted partner and supplier of the global surveillance state.

This is so corrupt
On March 30, billionaire Antonio Gracias demanded the use of Social Security data to "expose" voter fraud. The issue: Gracias was working at DOGE.
Today, it was revealed that a DOGE staffer is being sued for signing a deal to share Social Security data with election deniers.

Before I became mayor, I had the privilege of serving in the New York State Assembly. And on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Astoria & Long Island City can elect @DianaforQueens to continue our work.
