“The fossil fuel industry is still being rewarded for driving the climate crisis. We must end fossil fuel tax subsidies, reform international tax rules, & strengthen transparency. Our opponents are powerful — we can’t afford to be divided.”

Illegal gold mining is fueling a 'mercury boom' in Mexico, poisoning people and the environment The soaring price of gold is fueling a “mercury boom” in central Mexico

As the price of gold rises, so does the prevalance of harmful illegal mining. Mercury is a key metal used in the gold mining process, and has fueled the ongoing mining rush. To combat the resulting environmental damage, the US must take action.

In the wake of catastrophic funding cuts, the IRS is bleeding personnel. Our tax laws are only as strong as our ability to enforce them, and without sufficient enforcement resources, corporate tax avoidance will only worsen.

It’s way past time to hit China’s money laundering banks It’s time for Secretary Bessent to stop talking with China and start closing its dollar laundry.

Despite promising to address drug traffickers, Treasury is allowing China's money laundering networks to spread fentanyl in our communities. By gutting the Corporate Transparency Act, the US allows cartels to move their cash through our system with impunity.

Congress Moves To Allow Large Corporations To Continue To Hide Tax Payments If enacted, the House Republicans’ appropriations measure would kill those rules, though its fate is uncertain.

Good tax policy requires transparency. However, House appropriators are threatening to kill new rules requiring corporations to disclose more information to shareholders about the taxes they pay. From @howardgleckman.bsky.social for @taxpolicycenter.bsky.social:

Why would some business interests prefer for Congress to fly blind in tax policymaking? 🤔

Very good take from @howardgleckman.bsky.social @taxpolicycenter.bsky.social:

"Funding tax enforcement should be a no-brainer" @sarahcgchris.bsky.social is absolutely right.

And yet here we are...

I told @icij.org that Treasury's latest moves to gut the Corporate Transparency Act - a pledge to purge data on the true owners of companies - would "double down on Treasury’s unlawful gutting of this statute". @factcoalition.bsky.social www.icij.org/news/2025/09...

This rollover for the criminals and kleptocrats who hide in U.S. shell corporations is a real national security problem.
