My latest story - Trump administration rolls back tax shelter crackdown: nytimes.com/2025/09/09/bus…

It amuses me that MAGA think their attack line on AOC going forward can be 'she's just a bartender' or she's 'dumb' when I can't think of a single MAGA congressman who could speak like this, for two minutes, on this topic, at an international forum like Munich. Not one.

Anyway, this Treasury rule would be a mistake--billions in lost revenue for no economic gain. aei.org/economics/the-…

NEW: The Treasury Department is preparing to release a corporate tax workaround that would deliver big tax savings to companies including Salesforce and Qualcomm. The change would let companies deduct old R&D investments without triggering the 15% corporate minimum tax.

For the record: instead of paying Edwin Diaz $23 million per year, the Mets are going to pay Jorge Polanco $20 million per year.

My latest, with my @FACTCoalition colleague @ThomasGeorgesTH in @BLaw, warning about the risk of unlegislated, unaccounted for, and likely unconstitutional tax cuts for big US corporations. 🧵 news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/bi…

Check out the latest @taxnotes investigation from @ChandraSWallace and me. Outside the paywall.

I'm quoted in the latest @LaurenLoricchio + @ChandraSWallace @TaxNotes investigation of the "offshore" life insurance industry, which found a Russian oligarch with a $430 million policy:

The richest 100 Americans gave $1.1B to the 2024 election. For comparison, between 2000 and 2010, they spent an average of $21 million on federal elections. We don’t have to accept oligarchy as normal. New in @washingtonpost: washingtonpost.com/politics/inter…

The admin is quietly rewriting the tax code—giving billions in breaks to private equity, crypto, insurance, and energy firms by hollowing out the 15% corporate minimum tax. More tax cuts for the rich is the last thing working families need. @JesseDrucker nytimes.com/2025/11/08/bus…

3/ Here's a video we made of the supply chain: nytimes.com/video/world/af…

Lead can be recycled cleanly, but automakers like Ford and GM source batteries made by companies that use lead from unsafe factories overseas. Our investigation with @nytimes shows how car battery recycling is poisoning a community in Nigeria. bit.ly/4oDRtBW

4/ We've been working on this investigation for a year with an extraordinary reporting partner, @WillFitzgibbon at @examinationnews. Between us, we took several trips to Nigeria, and unraveled the supply chain in the US -- from the Baltimore, to an auto battery factory in Penn

The auto industry will tell you the lead battery is the ultimate example of successful recycling. Here is the part they would prefer you not see -- lead poisoning in villages around the globe to make car batteries in the US and other rich countries. Our investigation. Link below

In my 2020 book Evil Geniuses I explain how big business and the rich since 1980 have used complex, obscure tax and other systemic changes to keep making only the rich richer and our economy more and more unfair and unaffordable to most Americans. They’ve just done it again.
