Crypto billionaires in California are threatening to leave the state, but are they ready to make good on their promise, or is an impending wealth exodus more of a paper tiger? Crypto billionaires are threatening to leave the state of California after a prominent trade union proposed a 5% assets tax on residents worth more than $1 billion. The Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West proposed the new tax back in November 2025. The trade union suggested that the new tax would bring in up to $100 billion from 200 state residents, more than making up for federal funding cuts to California’s state healthcare program. The measure will require 850,000 signatures before it can be put on the ballot for a popular vote in the 2026 elections in November. Prominent investors and billionaires based in California, such as PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and Google co-founder Larry Page, have already threatened to leave. Others have argued that a billionaire exit could remove crucial sources of tax ...

The British Ministry of Defence said it cooperated with France on Saturday night to strike an underground facility in Syria that had likely been used by the militant Islamic State (IS) group to store weapons. “Royal Air Force aircraft have completed successful strikes against Daesh in a joint operation with France,” the ministry said in a statement, using the Arabic acronym for IS. “This facility had been occupied by Daesh, most likely to store weapons and explosives. The area around the facility is devoid of any civilian habitation,” the statement added. The ministry said there was no indication the bombing north of the ancient site of Palmyra had posed any risk to civilians. IS was territorially defeated in Syria in 2019 but still maintains a presence, particularly in the country’s vast desert. Last month, Washington said a lone IS gunman in Palmyra attacked American personnel, killing two US soldiers and a US civilian. US forces said they struck dozens of IS targets in Syria in retaliation.
