Francesca Hong, the Democratic Socialists of America-backed frontrunner in Wisconsin's gubernatorial primary, is drawing fire after deleted social media posts resurfaced, including a 2020 call to "Cancel Thanksgiving" and a 2019 complaint about "old white people" at a Culver's restaurant. With fewer than two weeks before the August 11 primary, Hong's old posts on X handed conservative critics fresh ammunition and raised questions about whether the likely Democratic nominee can compete statewide in a battleground that often turns on the votes of the very people she once described as a source of anxiety. The New York Post reported that both posts drew widespread mockery online Friday, with commentators from across the right seizing on the…Open

California's Democratic Party resolutions committee voted to recommend endorsing a one-time 5% tax on the state's roughly 200 billionaires, defying both outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom and gubernatorial nominee Xavier Becerra, who oppose the measure. The committee's Saturday vote puts Proposition 40, formally titled the California 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, one step closer to an official party endorsement ahead of the November 3 ballot. But the recommendation is not final. Full endorsement requires at least 60% of delegates to approve it during Sunday's general session, where delegates could also vote to take no position, a move that needs only a simple majority, or pull the recommendation for a separate floor debate. Either way, the committee's…Open

How does the proposed Proposition 40 tax differ from Proposition 3 mentioned by Xavier Becerra?
Proposition 40 is a one-time 5% tax on billionaires. In contrast, Becerra endorsed Proposition 3, which is a measure designed to permanently extend an existing income tax surcharge on high earners to fund education.
Q&A ID a2ee45fa-e573-451c-a0fe-8cdd1cdced3f
What are the possible outcomes for the full delegate body during Sunday's session regarding the endorsement of Proposition 40?
There are three possible outcomes: the delegates can approve the endorsement with at least 60% of the vote, they can vote by simple majority to take no position on the measure, or they can pull the recommendation to allow for a separate floor debate.
Q&A ID 6071712e-6c72-4559-8328-7cf9a81fae0a
Which organizations and individuals have endorsed or opposed Proposition 40 according to the report?

What are the projected financial impacts and revenue goals associated with the California 2026 Billionaire Tax Act?
Proposition 40 is projected to generate an estimated $100 billion in revenue from roughly 200 billionaires. Supporters frame this tax as a necessary response to offset approximately $100 billion in federal healthcare cuts under the Trump administration.
