How destructive does a hedge fund billionaire have to be for The New Yorker to call them “The Doomsday Investor”? Just ask GOP megadonor, Marco Rubio 2016 supporter, and the man most likely to benefit from Donald Trump’s piratical regime change in Venezuela, Paul Singer.
Works for me!
"The land belongs to those who work it."
On the anniversary of his assassination, we remember Emiliano Zapata: Mexican revolutionary leader, guerrilla fighter, and champion of the working class.
It's wild that I've paid a higher tax rate than the 26th richest man in the world.
Jeffrey Yass didn’t become the 19th richest man in the United States, the 26th richest in the world, and #1 in all of Pennsylvania by paying his fair share. In fact, if there’s anything Yass hates more than taxpayer services, it’s paying taxes 🧵
Private equity seems to be everywhere, sucking the soul out of everything these days, but it’s actually nothing new. The practice dates back to the 1970s, however until recently it went by a different name—corporate raiding. Private equity isn't normal, it’s just been rebranded
The Ellisons aren’t the only billionaires fueling the far right media takeover. Bari Weiss’ destruction of CBS and potentially CNN were enabled by Jeffrey Yass, the billionaire whose crusade against public education led him to “bet” $100 million on Weiss’ “anti-woke” university.

The last time the price of crude oil hit an all-time high, 50% of the subsequent profits went to the 1%. The bottom 50% received just 1%.

The richest man in Pennsylvania has more money than his home state’s entire annual budget. But what’s worse is how he uses it. Meet Jeffrey Yass, the billionaire trying to control what your kids watch on their phones and learn in school.
Imagine
Kathy Hochul is great at serving her constituents. But you're not one of them.
Carla Marie unpacks who our Governor *really* serves in weeks Tax The Rich Report 🎥
Kathy Hochul been awfully silent since this video dropped
🎥What's the *real* reason Kathy Hochul won't tax the rich?
Carla Marie searches for the truth in this week's Tax The Rich Report:
Linda McMahon is the poster child of oligarchy. A billionaire so obsessed with power she tried (and failed) to buy a Senate seat, and when that didn't work, bought positions in both Trump administrations. Because it's much cheaper to buy another billionaire than the people.
What do a $27 million dollar jet, 47-foot yacht, and the Department of Education have in common? A risk of being crashed by Linda McMahon
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
Every war is a class war
Private equity fears public discourse 🫡
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.
