CNSNews: Nation’s 1st Tax on Theoretical Money in VT Dems’ Bill; 3% Wealth ‘Surcharge’ in Another
Vermont Democrats have introduced two new bills that would implement a wealth tax targeting high-income individuals and unrealized gains for those with a net worth of $10 million or more.

Republican Governor Phil Scott may be powerless to stop the bills from becoming law due to Democrats holding veto-proof supermajorities. Other Democrat-run states have also introduced similar wealth tax proposals.
The Economist: Why America’s political parties are so bad at winning elections

This creates a weakness in the parties' ability to win general elections. The longing for a third party is strong, but successful third parties need down-ballot candidates and galvanising issues. Overall, the American political system is in need of significant reform.

America's border crisis is a political liability for President Biden. The number of illegal migrants crossing the border has increased, putting pressure on immigration courts and detention centers. The number of agents patrolling the border has not significantly changed, and funding for border security has stalled. Detentions and deportations have decreased under the Biden administration, contributing to the surge in migration. Despite this, the number of people living in America illegally had been falling until recently. Public opinion on illegal migration has hardened, especially among Democrats.
