#IRS making plans to rescind #Harvard’s tax-exempt status after the university refusal of #Trump admin demands for control over course contents, admissions, etc.

“Law professor Sam Brunson noted on Bluesky that this is illegal.

“In 1998, Congress explicitly provided that the President could not, directly or indirectly, request that the IRS start or end an audit or other investigation of a taxpayer.”

#IRS Is Actually Said to Be Considering Whether to Revoke #Harvard’s #TaxExempt Status — Cuz #USA Is An #Autocracy Now

The move would be a major violation of the law upon orders from the #Trump admin as it attempts to choke off federal money & support for #research & #academia in US #universities.

“The Internal Revenue Service is making plans to rescind the tax-exempt status of Harvard University, according to two sources familiar with the matter, which would be an extraordinary step of retaliation as the Trump administration seeks to turn up pressure on the university that has defied its demands to change its hiring and other practices.”

The #authority to investigate & change #TaxExempt statuses rests solely w/ #IRS, & the president is BARRED from directly or indirectly requesting that the agency exercise that #power against taxpayers [including #universities].

#TaxExempt status is available to charitable, religious & #educational orgs, as well as social welfare groups. But the organizations must strictly adhere to tax laws that prohibit them from engaging in certain political activity. There is NO proof that #Harvard violated any of those guardrails.

“The #IRS is supposed to administer the tax rules impartially, not pursue political #vendettas against exempt organizations,”said Steve Rosenthal, who served as snr fellow at the #TaxPolicy Center.

Trump's IRS nominee Billy Long🚨 just had his personal debt paid off by donors whose firms have bus before the tax agency he’d lead.

If confirmed, he'd be able to do favors for the donors.

The revelations come as lawmakers call for a criminal probe of how tax credits were used by these donors’ firms -many -have previous ties to Rep Long, Trump’s IRS nom *confirm: pending in the Sen.

A scene out of the Godfather?
Trump is governing as a mob boss.

ptpol debates PAN x IL

#ptpol #debates #PAN x #IL

O aviso do costume: o formato desta cobertura é diferente

#Saúde - já sabemos o que a IL quer da saúde, e apesar da #Inês ter dito que o modelo que a IL defende falhou noutros países, não conseguiu dizer que a IL não consegue fazer aquilo e reduzir custos como promete, nem fazer as críticas ao modelo (muito ligeiramente comentou o problema de indexar salários à produtividade na saúde). O PAN quer melhor salário e reformas mais cedo para os médicos.

#IRS - a IL diz que progressividade pode querer dizer muitas coisas, e reduzir para dois escalões é progressividade. Não explica como compensa o brutal corte orçamental. PAN quer descer IRS nos 5º e 6º escalões.

Tentou-se falar de habitação, mas foi tudo uma mescla de coisas que não explicou nada: sabemos que o que têm vindo a propor é distinto, mas se não fosse pelo qie têm dito anteriormemte, nem isso ficávamos a saber com este debate.

#Rocha chorou pela falta de programa apresentado do PAN, o que não sei se é muito justo, tendo em conta tantos outros partidos ainda sem programa apresentado, nestas "eleições à pressa".

Acho que estiverem ambos fracos. O PAN em particular não parece o mesmo que o que debateu com a esquerda, passando a ideia de uma visão mal definida ou preparada.

The #IRS is planning to cut up to 40% of its WF after Tues marked the official end of tax filing season.

The IRS will send RIF notices on a biweekly basis. The RIF plan also states the agency will go from 102K employees to its targeted "ending figures" of 60K to 70K.

The felon-in-chief is basically stopping the fed govt from functioning. W/o a robust tax collection agency, tax evasion & corruption are normalized.
