Wealth taxes aren't just taxes on the rich — they're taxes on entrepreneurs. “If entrepreneurs can't earn a return on what they build, they'll build less.” Cato's @adamnmichel and @CatoEdwards explain.

The Framers kept elections out of Washington's hands for good reason. Both parties keep ignoring that lesson. Cato's Walter Olson explains why decentralized election administration is America's best protection.

Every policy has tradeoffs. Requiring age verification online would expose everyone to privacy risks, limit lawful speech, and weaken parents’ role, all for uncertain benefits, write Cato’s @dr_inserra and @jrhuddles. ow.ly/8sR250ZZK1Q

Foreign efforts to sway opinion, although unwelcome, are influence. Interference, however, is tampering with the election itself. Blurring the two implies China changed votes, which US intelligence does not believe, says Julia Curlee.

California's billionaire tax could cost the state revenue as the wealthy leave. Europe tried wealth taxes and mostly repealed them. Yet six Nobel Prize-winning economists are backing the idea. Their claims don't hold up. Cato's @adamnmichel explains.

Wealth taxes will fall, in large part, on American workers in the form of lower wages and fewer job opportunities, explains Cato Institute’s @adamnmichel.

The government's equity portfolio of 36 companies has a distressingly weak legal foundation, says Cato’s @scottlincicome. None of the cited laws expressly authorize federal ownership stakes in private companies. #CatoRFE ow.ly/qOIe50ZZpJF

The DOJ's voter roll letter to California is "highly, highly irregular" and raises serious questions about whether it violates the NVRA and the Supreme Court's own ruling, says Cato Institute’s @stephen_richer. ow.ly/vCy350ZZll2

When the law protects life, liberty, and property, free people cooperate and flourish. Market Humanism overlooks this, and the larger, more activist government it envisions would erode that freedom, writes Cato’s James A. Dorn. ow.ly/XHKb50ZZv5O

Free markets bring abundance. Health care is unaffordable because government blocks competition from new hospitals, nurse practitioners, and lower-price medicines sold abroad. Repeal those barriers, says Cato’s @mfcannon.

California’s “billionaire tax” will leave the state and its residents worse off, Cato’s @adamnmichel predicts.

Tariffs are hidden taxes that fall hardest on families with lower incomes. Now they are driving up the price of musical instruments and putting music education out of reach for more children, writes Cato’s James Bacchus. cato.org/blog/president-trum…

Uncle Sam has 35 equity deals and no law expressly authorizing any of them. No clear way to undo them or to stop even more. To restore free enterprise and the rule of law, we must chart one, says Cato's @scottlincicome. #CatoRFE ow.ly/6ZIe50ZZlwm

Originalism requires judges to apply the original public meaning of legal texts, says Cato’s Roger Pilon. When they ignore the 14th Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause, they undermine originalism’s purpose, which is to restrain judges, thereby to secure the rule of law. ow.ly/go9450ZZlIp

Six months after Australia banned social media for kids under 16, 85% still used it. Age checks impose guaranteed costs on privacy and free speech for uncertain benefits, write Cato’s @dr_inserra and @jrhuddles in their new study. ow.ly/hPY750ZZkTi

Before you romanticize the past, read The Grim Old Days by Cato’s @chellivia. Unthinkable poverty. Bloodletting. Streets turned into open sewers. The preindustrial world was more gruesome than modern minds can fathom. Order now: ow.ly/NL8j50ZY9JW

Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. @adamnmichel explains.

Sen. Maria Cantwell’s AI framework has upside but is vague in granting the government powers that could lead to censorship of the AI industry. Congress should also replace the patchwork of state AI laws, writes Cato’s @JuanMLondonoR. ow.ly/fmqa50ZYYh1
