The state of Florida is rejecting affirmative action programs in hiring and contracting.

The Daily Wire can first report that the state attorney general will no longer recognize or defend the dozens of affirmative action programs enshrined in state law.

In a legal opinion, Attorney General James Uthmeyer wrote that the programs violate both the Florida and United States constitutions by setting aside opportunities for non-white people.

California's billionaires are moving out of the state ahead of a proposed wealth tax.

Daily Wire senior editor Joel Needler has more on the exodus.

The ballot measure, which would tax unrealized gains, has inspired an online campaign led by tech moguls David Sachs and David Friedberg, who are warning of a golden exit of billionaires from the state.

The billionaires claim the wealth tax would drain California of $2 to $2.5 trillion in assets and $20 billion in annual revenue.

The measure is also creating rifts among Democratic lawmakers, with Governor Gavin Newsom opposing it and more progressive members of the California State Assembly expressing support.

Tech leaders argue the proposed tax erodes private property rights, which they say will eventually trickle down to the millionaire and middle class and cause fiscal collapse.

The tax could appear on the state's general election ballot this November.
