Ethan and I are in Poland after spending much of the week in Kyiv, where I was among 20 international experts invited by the Office of President Zelenskyy and the governing Servant of the People party to advise on a tax and anti-corruption reform package they are developing.

We are getting these various camera angles today because C-SPAN is controlling the cameras. Once a Speaker is chosen, they clamp down and have their people control the cameras instead. C-SPAN always asks to keep control after the first day and is always rejected.

This morning the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments in Tyler v. Hennepin County. The facts are outrageous: a 94-year-old woman who failed to pay property tax had her house seized, and the county kept everything even those beyond the tax owed.

Nagasaki proved the U.S. had more than one bomb. A captured American airman, under torture, said the U.S. had 100 atom bombs and that Tokyo and Kyoto were next. (He actually knew nothing and was lying to end the torture but the info made an impression on the Japanese.) 8/

More Border Patrol Agents died in the line of duty during 2021 than in any other time since the agencyโ€™s inception. The line-of-duty deaths of 15 Border Patrol agents mark a grim milestone in the agencyโ€™s history.

The IRS snooping on every bank account with $10,000 or more in annual inflow/outflow ropes in the vast majority of Americans. The median American $3,400 in their checking account at any time, and assuming paychecks are deposited in and rent paid out regularly, that's everyone.

Note in here on the IRS bank-account reporting provision -- looks like Neal and Wyden are heading toward a reporting requirement on accounts with $10,000 of annual gross flows, up from admin's $600.

The Libertarian Party joins me in offering our deepest condolences to Dr. Jo Jorgensen on the passing of her mother today. As anyone who has lost a parent can understand, it can be challenging to mourn while carrying out full daily obligations.

Can a county seize and sell a home to collect unpaid property taxes, then keep all amounts above what was owed and not refund them to the former homeowner? No, said a unanimous Supreme Court today in Tyler v. Hennepin County.
