New piece: raising the corporate tax rate would be economically efficient if corporations were taxed on their cash flow. We are no where near that ideal.

Some personal news: This is my last week at The Washington Post. I’ve loved so much of the last 9 years here, but my faith in the paper’s current leadership is broken beyond repair. Incredibly excited to get to work with the newsroom below (I start in June) & join the extraordinarily talented kickass reporters such as @anna_c_kramer, @OrianaBeLike, @reesejgorman & many more Please get in touch w/ me anytime on Signal: 9178872891

I am leaving the Washington Post to join a new journalistic venture backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton that will be both the hometown publication the D.C. region sorely needs and a scrappy and fearless national news organization. I hope you'll join us.

@johnarnold The polls confused me also. But Talarico is impressive--and I hope we see more of him.

@JessicaBRiedl And think tanks pay too little to compromise your views. More money elsewhere for those willing to compromise.

Can confirm that almost no think tank fellows are letting funders dictate their policy positions. Fellows seek organizations that match their beliefs, and organizations seek funders that support their mission. We're all too stubborn to let others determine our policy views.

I’ll take this seriously when Yglesias discloses who is paying for his Niskanen “fellowship” and which corporations have been ponying up tens of thousands of dollars for speeches that I’m sure are very enthralling and worth every dime.

@kpomerleau Historically, the reason this idea gets rejected is that, if we exempt winnings, taxpayers with unreported income would claim on audit that the resulting assets came from gambling.

I am so excited to share that I’ve joined the amazing team at @The_Budget_Lab as an Associate Director of Economic Research! I’ll be working on a wide range of topics related to public finance; namely, taxes, tariffs, and the federal budget.

@jbarro The Republicans wanted to avoid full responsibility for the budget—and sought some Democratic support for the budget (in lieu of extending the exceptions to the filibuster). The Democrats should have forced the Republicans to take full responsibility. And own the resulting mess.

For some reason, Democrats kept pointing out that Republicans didn’t need their help to get the government back open.

If you complain about this column, you are required — by law — to offer your own theory of how the shutdown would have ended in a better way for Democrats using your preferred strategy. nytimes.com/2025/11/11/opi…

@goodtaxtakes Politicians, not tax technicians, manufacture tax complexity. The technicians, left alone, could manage complexity. But, unfortunately, there is a constituency for every tax loophole in the code, but no constituency for simplification.

@DonFSchneider Thanks, Don. I am always happy to chat--or meet for lunch again. I think, where possible, we need simple, not confusing (i.e., you started it, no you started it). The fact is Republicans can end the shutdown today, by limiting the filibuster. And Trump may direct them to do so.

@stevertax Hi Steve. Like your tax work. This is one of those occasions where you should talk to more Republicans. If only their motives were always so simple and full of malice! Not passing the ideological Turing test right now.

The Republicans control the Senate (and the House), so blame them for the shutdown. They could easily whittle away further the filibuster rule. So, why don't they? To avoid Republican accountability for shredding our health care system, not to protect Democrat "minority" rights.

@HC_Richardson: "Republicans control the Senate and could end the filibuster for the continuing resolution that would fund the government, thus enabling them to pass it through the Senate with a simple majority if they wanted to. Instead, they want Democratic votes for it. . ."

@JessicaBRiedl I think it’s time for the Democrats to play that card. The Republicans will continue to whittle away at the filibuster as it suits them. Let the Republicans whittle away some more now—and own the health insurance mess.

@stevertax They could eliminate the rest of the filibuster. But if I am a Democratic lawmaker there is no way I am taunting Republicans into doing that.

@JaredWalczak Why don’t you give some tax advice: winnings are taxable and losses are nondeductible. They will definitely exclude you next time.

I'm joining a few guys for poker and whiskey tasting tonight. I don't drink, and I just googled poker hands to refresh my memory. I'm sure they're already regretting inviting me.

Amy thinks that the 14th Amendment was not a codification of common law jus solis citizenship, in order to extend it to African Americans. Rather, it meant to do that and simultaneously strip it from children born in US to certain classes of immigrants. (1/3)
