Big tax bill doubles down on a 2017 export subsidy that mostly went to Big Tech. No evidence that it brought back jobs. Now it's become an even more generous windfall that rewards a broader set of corporations for something they might do anyway, as I told @RichardRubinDC.

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.

There are a lot of ways that our tax code incentivizes profit shifting and offshoring, but the so-called "round-tripping" loophole is one of the most egregious Grateful to Ranking Member @RonWyden and his colleagues for introducing this commonsense reform finance.senate.gov/ranking-member…

The U.S. must crack down on the international illicit economy and the crooks it serves. Enforcing our Corporate Transparency Act is the way to do it.

National security, law enforcement and other experts all recognize a simple truth: destroying the Corporate Transparency Act will make Americans less safe Treasury must withdraw its misguided rule gutting CTA, and implement the law as Congress intended thefactcoalition.org/senators-exper…

I told the @NYTimes “The pace of change and unraveling of a lot of the protections and safeguards related to dirty money coming into the United States has been pretty dizzying,” Read more about @FACTCoalition's work to raise the alarm. nytimes.com/2025/05/27/mag…

New from FACT's @Ianpgary in Bloomberg @tax: Big Pharma's tax games "may temporarily inflate the bottom lines of companies such as Merck, but they pose stark risks for investors over the longer term." Read the call for greater tax transparency here: news.bloombergtax.com/tax-insights-a…

New from me: Businesses built a years-long lobbying campaign for a permanent extension of the pass-through deduction. Republicans did that. And then went $104 billion above and beyond that. (link below)

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Admin can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should've never been abducted. I won't rest until then.
