Now more than ever, we need judges on the federal bench who are experts on reproductive rights. With Julie Rikelman, that’s exactly who we’re getting. I was very happy to recommend her nomination and very glad to vote for her confirmation. news.yahoo.com/senate-confirm…

One of the top priorities for the IRS is to use Inflation Reduction Act resources to pursue tax evasion by large, complex partnerships. It can be hard to wrap your mind around what these structures look like, so here’s an example from a GAO report today.

10 years ago my PhD advisors (+&others I admire) co-authored a symposium in the Journal of Economic Perspectives on #tax & #development. Their work was a big source of inspiration for me. Fast forward and we now have a similar JEP sympo on the new knowledge frontier in #Tax4Dev.
