"Meta is claiming billions of dollars in tax benefits that its own accountants are telling investors are at risk of being overturned by the I.R.S."
Deeply-reported story on how Meta is using the data center boom to reduce its taxes: nytimes.com/2026/09/30/techn…

In the summer of 2024, an employee at Meta had a daring idea to save the company billions of dollars on its A.I. data centers: Claim they were 'experimental' to tap a lucrative tax credit meant to inspire companies to tackle novel challenges.

This was only two year ago:
9/30/2024 Needing a win to make the playoffs, the Mets overcome a 3-0 deficit with six runs in the eighth. Trailing 7-6 in the ninth, Francisco Lindor hits a go-ahead two-run homer. The Mets become the fourth team in MLB history to start the year 0-5 and make the postseason.

On his first day back in office in January 2025, Donald Trump pulled the US out of an international crackdown on offshore tax dodging. Here is what has happened since then: nytimes.com/2026/05/29/busin…

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.

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.
Per @WillSammon, the Mets and Jorge Polanco are in agreement on a contract. @JeffPassan reports that the deal is for two years and $40 million.
Polanco, 32, hit .265 with 26 home runs for the Mariners last season.

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.

Great segment on our investigation into how US battery manufacturers increasingly relying on lead recycled in Nigeria, poisoning entire villages. In partnership with @examinationnews
Lead is a key element in your car battery and is expensive to produce domestically. U.S. automakers often use recycled lead produced overseas, a practice long framed as an environmental success story.
But a new investigation has found that the recycled lead used by U.S. auto and battery manufacturers is not safe and is linked to dangerous lead poisoning.
@TheStephSy speaks to @petersgoodman to learn more.

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:

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.
