My newest piece is up! Trump's new tax plan will tax the Gates Foundation--but there's more to the story. I take a deep dive into the stunning ways that the world's most powerful philanthropy functions more like tax-privileged investment bank LINK: timschwab.substack.com/p/trump-wants-…

How do we square Rutger Bregman's words w/ his image as a progressive political figure? And how could he have no response? My new investigation links to an explosive 2011 essay Bregman wrote--attacking Rihanna for being too sensitive to racism. timschwab.substack.com/p/racism-rihan…

This is outrageous, Rutger. You can't make this into a victim narrative. This is about your own behavior, not mine. Here's my response from LinkedIn, and please everyone read my piece and Anita Naidu's pieces: counterpunch.org/2025/05/18/how… timschwab.substack.com/p/racism-rihan…

My newest piece is up! It's been a strange ride reporting on Rutger Bregman. My most-read pieces ever, thx to his smear campaigns. Yesterday the wheels came off. Read how Bregman turns his own outrageous behavior into a mind-boggling victim narrative timschwab.substack.com/p/rutger-bregm…

'If the School for Moral Ambition were truly about justice, it would do one thing—shift power away from elites and into the hands of those most affected by injustice. Instead, it does the opposite.' On Rutger Bregman 's 'The School for Moral Ambition' counterpunch.org/2025/05/18/how…

In case you missed it, my newest investigation examines the public/taxpayer costs of billionaire philanthropy. We have been richly subsidizing the philanthropic work of the world's richest tycoons for years. Another world is possible. Read on! timschwab.substack.com/p/the-taxpayer…

So honored to be a part of this amazing event with these brilliant, courageous speakers. If you're alarmed by Elon and the growing specter of oligarchy, you have to understand the tech-bro-oligarch origin story. You have to confront Bill Gates. tinyurl.com/GatesPowerGrab…
