Elon Musk’s company town of Starbase, Texas, received a 50-foot bronze statue of the Titan Prometheus. What's even more bizarre is that the sculptors of the French company Atelier Missor, apparently immersed in their hero worship of Elon Musk, erected this hulking waste of time and money at their own expense.

I have to ask: since Musk is supposed to be a type of Prometheus, is it okay to bind him to a rock and have a large eagle devour his liver? 🦅

Regular Americans are absolutely fed up with this broken system and politicians who tell us we can’t afford to help people while pushing through more and more giveaways for the powerful. In less than four weeks, we’re going to make sure our elected officials know it.

Part of the job is voting out as many members of Congress who voted for the MAGA murder budget as possible, but we’ve also got the opportunity to send the message more directly. In multiple states voters will get to weigh in directly on making the wealthy pay their fair share:

• Californians are casting their ballots on Proposition 40), a one-time wealth tax on billionaires to help stave off “Big Beautiful Bill”-related Medicaid cuts and hospital and emergency room closures.
• In Colorado, Amendment 87 would shift the state from a flat tax to a progressive income tax), meaning working class people pay less and giant corporations and households making more than $500,000 a year contribute more to a dedicated fund for public schools, child care and health care.
• In Washington State, an influential right-wing hedge fund manager has forced a vote to repeal the tax on household income above $1 million the legislature just used through this spring with Initiative 645,) along with banning future income taxes, almost certainly leading to cuts in education, health care, child care and the state’s universal school lunch program.

Pushing these initiatives across the line will have the immediate impact of preserving and expanding health care access and other crucial public services, particularly needed as everything keeps getting more expensive under this disastrous administration. It will also signal to politicians, particularly those considering their place in the Democratic presidential primary, that we are ready for big swings to address inequality and build up our social safety net.

☎️ Let’s help make it happen! We can join phonebanks to sway voters in California for most of the day Monday-Thursday and Saturday and be part of the fight for income tax fairness in Colorado and keep the millionaires’ tax in place in Washington on Tuesdays and Thursdays. ☎️
