Robert Reich: Don't tell me the super-rich can't afford a wealth tax.

Jeff Bezos reportedly purchased another mansion in Miami’s “billionaire bunker” neighborhood. This time for $90 million.

It sits next to two other properties he bought last year: One for $79m and another for $68m.

Don't tell me the super-rich can't afford a wealth tax.

House to send Mayorkas impeachment charges to Senate April 10

Source: The Hill

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and House Republican impeachment managers informed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in a letter Thursday that they will send two impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on April 10.

House Republicans are accusing Mayorkas of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” including “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law and his breach of the public trust.”

That means the long-awaited charges will arrive in the upper chamber on the Wednesday after senators return to Washington from the two-week Easter recess.

The move will force the Senate to take up the matter, at least formally, and then Schumer will have to decide whether to hold a full trial on the Senate floor, vote to dismiss the charges immediately or to refer it to a special evidentiary committee.
