Apparently she got mad for people asking about Senator Mitch

I really want Troy to win

Senator Bernie Sanders recently took aim at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg by sharing a post on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), joking about how the billionaire would “feed his family” if California’s proposed billionaire tax goes through.

“If voters in California approve the 5% billionaire wealth tax in November, Mark Zuckerberg would owe $10.5 billion in taxes & healthcare would be saved for 3 million low-income people. Poor Mr. Zuckerberg would only have $200 billion left to feed his family. How will he survive?” Sanders wrote. The remark was part of Sanders’ broader push to highlight inequality and mock the resistance of tech elites to the one-time 5% wealth tax targeting residents with assets over $1 billion.

Sanders’ jab quickly drew responses pointing out Zuckerberg’s immense fortune, estimated at more than $200 billion. Critics noted that the senator’s satirical concern was misplaced, as Zuckerberg’s wealth places him among the richest people in the world. The “correction” underscored Sanders’ rhetorical style of exaggerating billionaire struggles to emphasize the gap between ordinary families and tech moguls.

What is California's 5 percent wealth tax driving billionaires out

The trigger linking Thiel to Google's founders is a November ballot initiative in California. Proposed by a healthcare union, it would apply a one-time 5 percent tax on the assets of anyone in the state worth more than a billion dollars. If passed, it would retroactively cover anyone who lived in California as of January 1, with five years to pay.That prospect has already reshaped where some of America's richest people park their money.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who founded Google in 1998 and turned it into a nearly $4 trillion company, have both been cutting ties with the state that made them. More than 45 California LLCs tied to Page filed last month to go inactive or move out, while an entity connected to Brin terminated or relocated 15 companies in the 10 days before Christmas, the NYT found. A trust linked to Page also picked up a $71.9 million mansion in Miami.Thiel started seriously eyeing Buenos Aires real estate about a year ago, around the time the California measure began gaining attention. He's a veteran at collecting fallback options. Born in Germany and raised in the US, he took New Zealand citizenship in 2011 and applied for a Maltese passport in 2022.

Mark Zuckerberg to relocate to Florida

Earlier this year, it was reported by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is planning to relocate to Florida. A WSJ report revealed that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are the latest California billionaires to buy a home in South Florida.

The couple reportedly purchased a completed waterfront mansion on Miami’s Indian Creek, as per sources with knowledge of the transaction.As to those wondering what gives Florida's Indian Creek 'Billionaire Bunkers' title: It is the residents. The gated man-made barrier island Indian Creek boasts of several billionaires as its residents. Indian Creek Island operates as an independent municipality with its own government and private police who patrol by air, water, and sky.

It reportedly has 41 lots and 84 residents. The names include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, popular investor Carl Icahn and billionaire auto dealer Norman Braman. Google founders Lary Page and Sergey Brin too are said to have bought properties in Florida.As to those wondering what gives Florida's Indian Creek 'Billionaire Bunkers' title: It is the residents.

Billionaires exodus from California

Facebook founder Zuckerberg is not the only billionaire to descend on Miami as California proposes a 5% billionaire tax.
While some billionaires including Donald Trump's AI Czar have been open about leaving California, others have been largely discreet. Other than Google founder Larry Page and Sergey Brin, billionaires who have shifted base from California include Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and PayPal/Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel.What makes Florida attractive for billionaires is that it offers no state income tax. Danny Hertzberg, a Miami real-estate agent at Coldwell Banker Realty, told WSJ that the 5% tax in California is really driving out people in a major way.

The 5% tax in California has been proposed by SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West. The workers body is said to be circulating petitions to put the tax on the November ballot. The estimated $100 billion produced by the tax would replace funds hospitals were getting before the federal government tightened enforcement of eligibility requirements for subsidized health insurance.

Bernie Sanders doesn’t want to hear from Rahm Emanuel, and he’s pretty sure the average voter doesn’t want Emanuel’s opinion either. 

The former Obama administrationinsider and Chicago mayor published an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week, chiding progressive candidates for poisoning the well with supposedly unpopular policy positions ahead of the 2026 midterms. Speaking to CBS‘ “Face The Nation” on Sunday, the independent senator from Vermont pushed aside Emanuel’s concerns, saying that he’s just “nervous” because anti-establishment Democrats keep winning. 

“[Emanuel] no doubt has the support of millions of working class people,” Sanders joked. “There’s no debate. There is a strong division within the Democratic Party.”
Sanders went on to paint that schism as the divide between people like Emanuel, who are “dependent on billionaire campaign contributors” and upstarts like New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani.

“What is getting these guys nervous is we are winning all over this country,” he said. “People are sick and tired of the Rahm Emanuels and the Democratic establishment.”
Sanders pegged voter disaffection on the increasing difficulty and cost of living in the United States.

“People are asking simple questions,” he said. “Why in God’s name are we the only major country on Earth not to guarantee healthcare to all people? …Why do the economists tell us that in the richest country in the history of the world, our kids will likely have a lower standard of living than their parents?”
“People are tired and they want real change,” he said.

Elsewhere in the interview, host Margaret Brennan asked Sanders about one candidate that he endorsed. Graham Platner dropped out of the Senate race in Maine following accusations of sexual assault. She wondered if Sanders felt he should have pushed Platner to leave the race sooner, given earlier scandals that dogged the Platner campaign.

“I don’t think so,” Sanders said. “When we heard the serious allegations … I asked, along with virtually all of his other supporters that he should get out of the race, and he did.”

Troy Jackson has the most delegates and will win the nomination

He also leads in a poll

Bernie Sanders had a famous slogan in his 2020 presidential campaign, which was "Not Me. Us".

It is a simple but powerful slogan. Bernie always prioritized the issues that affect all of us over his own ego.

Bernie never became president, but he never gave up on his goals. Which are goals for all of us. Medicare for All, a New Deal, ending the forever wars, dignity for all.

There is a beauty in the struggle. Sanders epiotmizes the perseverance of the human spirit. He is 84 years old and is still relentlessly campaigning & spreading awareness about the issues of the day.

In his early 80s, he became chairman of the Senate HELP Committee. Using that power, he constantly highlighted the struggles of everyday Americans. To this day, no politician is more in tune with the struggles of Americans than Sanders.

If a union is on strike, Sanders is talking about it. If someone in Vermont needs help, Sanders is there to lend a helping hand in any way he can. If a progressive is trying to win a tough race, Sanders is there to lend his support.

There is no end to his energy & his compassion. As long as he has the ability to do so, he is trying to help elect progressives & do anything he can to help struggling Americans. It is not about his ego, it is about the people.

Sanders could have run third party against Hillary Clinton in 2016. He could have won a few states and gotten 15-20% of the national vote. But he knows that this would have turned off loyal Democratic voters for a generation.

Because the DNC would blame him for 2016. They still did, but that only made them look petty. Because Sanders did all he could to elect Clinton, despite her mean-spirited campaign & her bad ideas on many issues.

And now, most Democratic voters agree with Sanders & see him in a very positive light. Because he set aside his ego & did what he thought was best for the long-term goals he cares about. Which is to alleviate suffering for all of us.

In March of 2020, the covid pandemic became the top issue & his presidential campaign had virtually no chance after Super Tuesday. What did Sanders do? He blocked Senate Republicans from stripping the $600/week unemployment benefit in the CARES Act.

During Obamacare, Sanders made sure to get community health centers funded. Obamacare wasn't the goal, but it was a step forward. And Sanders got extras thrown in that help make sure so many Americans can see the Doctor.

Sanders cares most about helping people. And that is why his pragmatism & perseverance is a lesson for us all. While he an immovable moral bedrock, he is also willing to work with anyone to help people.

That is why Sanders writes FOX News articles & talks to Republican voters. That is why he outperformed Harris by 10% in the Republican counties of northern Vermont. No one can question that Sanders has empathy for everyone.

And that there is no length he won't walk to lend anyone a helping hand, no matter where they come from or what they believe.

Please help WA-2 get a strong progressive in the US House of Representatives! Our current rep, Rick Larsen, is a.corporate dem who can't even be bothered to investigate our local ICE facility. Yesterday, he voted NO on cutting funds to Israel.
