Federal judge says Trump administration can't kill NYC's congestion pricing tolls The order undermines President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign promise to "TERMINATE" congestion pricing.

Congestion pricing is a win for pedestrians, a win for transit riders, a win for the planet, and even a win for drivers. Now it turns out it’s also a win against autocrats.

Halliburton and Palantir both do horrible things to human beings. They also have something else in common: lots of tax dodging (tho of different types).

The electronic payments company Block, best known for its Square credit card processing software, avoided paying even a dime of federal income tax on $1.5 billion of U.S. income last year. Yes, this is the same Block that just laid off half its workforce.

President Trump is Still Lying About Ending Taxes on Social Security Why is Trump saying that he has eliminated taxes on Social Security?

Fact checking that car-crash of a speech seems absurd, but: Trump did say last night that "with the great Big Beautiful Bill, we gave you ...no tax on Social Security for our great seniors."
That is a (very familiar) lie. Income tax on social security didn't change an iota.

Palantir, known for equipping ICE with AI tools that hack into people’s phones, brags about being “the first company to be completely anti-woke.” ITEP found that a key part of being anti-woke is, apparently, not paying taxes.
