    Johnson Amendment Dead: IRS says church leaders can endorse candidates to their flock without risking tax-exempt status. Other 501c3's still can't.

    I think the ban on direct contributions still holds. This, bad as it is, seems to be very narrow about the church giving a 'religious' political endorsement message to its flock. Not running candidate advertising in NewsWeek or sending money to candidates.

    $15 Billion And Climbing: Trump’s Tariffs Deliver Record High Revenue

    That is not true. As you have (almost) noted, sales taxes are regressive, not progressive. Likewise universal tariffs. However, it was useful to put a brave face on to show what a dumb argument was being advanced.
