High earners in Washington state will face a new tax on income over $1 million starting in 2028.

The 9.9% tax was signed into law yesterday and comes as a number of Democratic states debate similar measures, which proponents cite as necessary to combat inequality and to plug budget holes caused by President Trump's cuts to federal health and nutrition assistance programs.

Here was Washington's Democratic Governor Bob Ferguson, courtesy of FOX 13 Seattle.

Republicans in Washington and beyond have warned that the tax could drive residents to move to lower tax states, of which there's an increasing number.

Mississippi and Oklahoma are among those aiming to eliminate personal income taxes altogether, while South Carolina is on course to lower its top income tax rate to under 2% this year.

Who's diet advice to trust?

Americans could be asking that question today after the American Heart Association recommended getting protein from plants instead of meat.

choosing low-fat or fat-free dairy, and skipping butter and beef tallow in favor of olive, soybean, and canola oil.

That stands in sharp contrast with elements of new guidelines introduced by the Trump administration this year, which endorsed full-fat dairy and specifically suggested that Americans eat red meat as a protein source.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

has been pushing those guidelines on social media, including in this remix he shared of a South Park episode about the food pyramid.

What?

Sir, the pyramid is upside down.

AHA president and cardiologist Dr. Stacey Rosen said the government's encouragement to eat red meat and full-fat dairy products could hurt people's health and said that the AHA's new recommendations were based on decades of science.

And President Trump has unveiled the design of his future presidential library.

It's a tower in downtown Miami set to feature golden escalators, a gold statue of the president, and what appears to be one of the planes used as Air Force One in the lobby.

Construction of the complex will be partly funded by millions of dollars that Trump collected from lawsuits involving Disney's ABC News, Meta Platforms, and Paramount, and he also directed his followers on Truth Social to a website soliciting donations.

The new tower would be built on a parcel of land originally owned by Miami-Dade College and sit next to the city's Freedom Tower, the site where thousands of Cuban refugees were processed in the 1960s.

A poll conducted in October found that about three-quarters of Miami voters said they were opposed to the land, which is valued at around $67 million, being used for the library.

The project reveal comes as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis yesterday signed a bill allowing Palm Beach International Airport to be renamed after Trump, a move that'll be finalized in July.
