“Today’s rich people are richer than ever, and that seems to have made them worse than ever. More shameless. More out of touch. Less empathetic. Thinner-skinned. And, for some mysterious reason, angrier. They’re people who consider equality for others oppression for themselves.”

I can’t stop the tears right now.
Mississippi. Mississippi.
It is breathtaking.

Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. cnn.it/4iEnxUo

The interesting thing about Jim Jordan's style isn't that he doesn't wear a jacket — many men don't wear a jacket — but that he bothers to carry one around, even though he never wears it. In fact, he's invented many new ways to carry a jacket without ever using his shoulders.

The Texas Constitution forbids a state income tax. It would be ridiculous for her to campaign on or use political capital to push for a Constitutional amendment (which would require a popular vote) for an income tax. Also, I suspect she doesn’t support that tax anyway.

Person whose is unfamiliar with a state and whose experience consists in offering hot takes offers advice to a politician familiar with the state, who just had a remarkable victory.
Very glad she won, but Gina Hinojosa maybe a rare example of a red state Dem who I think is genuinely much too conservative on the merits.

I don’t want to be rude. Democrats don’t want this in Texas. The far left doesn’t want this in Texas. This is a non starter in Texas.
We have a constitutional ban on an income tax in Texas and nobody REALLY opposes that. We have alternative sources of funding.

Plus there’s the small matter of the Texas Constitution explicitly prohibiting a state income tax.

The Texas state constitution bans an income tax. She could say she’s for it and it would have as much meaning as her saying she’s for a pet unicorn for every child.

I’m not sure I’ve seen a non-Texan be as clueless about the Constitutional restrictions on policy since . . . people talked about Talarico’s boots?
If you are gonna talk Texas, talk to Texans. #txlege

The state income tax is prohibited by the state constitution — why in the world would you spend political capital on a dead issue?

I swear to god non-Texan journalists should need a license to write about Texas—and a law requiring that is more likely to pass here than state income tax.

NEW by @l_e_whyte me:
- RFK Jr. sailed around Greece with businessman Gavin de Becker, a security consultant and anti-vaxx/ketamine-therapy advocate, on his luxury yacht
- The trip adds to the $250K+ in gifts from De Becker that we first reported earlier this year
- Democratic senators are opening a probe into the gifts based on our earlier reporting

It’s well documented that extreme wealth melts one’s brain.
Scientific studies have shown there is an inverse relationship between power and empathy.
This distance often insulates the rich and powerful from the suffering of the everyday person.”
The richer you are, the more insular your life becomes, and the more out of touch you become.
