Yellen orders IRS not to use new funding to increase chances of audits of Americans earning less than $400,000
The letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig comes amid attacks from Republicans that the $80 billion the Inflation Relief Act would give the IRS over the next 10 years would result in more Americans middle class and small businesses were audited.

Social media? No. Blame cable news for idiot politics.
The last two election cycles have seen one burst of attention paid in “echo chambers” or communities where a narrow set of viewpoints makes people less likely to challenge their own views. Much of this concern has focused on the rise of social media, which it does radically transformed the information ecosystem.

To the editor: Behold the majesty and power of the nine unelected gods on America’s Olympus, the Supreme Court of the United States.

Why are you conservative? Or a libertarian, republican, democrat, socialist? OK, if you read my column, you’re probably not a socialist… But how do people come to such different conclusions? We like to think that our politics is shaped by rational analysis. We analyze what conservatives and liberals write, weigh their ideas, and draw conclusions based on facts and evidence. But it turns out there’s probably something else going on. I can predict your political party pretty accurately if I only know what you do for a living. Here’s why I say this: When you give money to a political…
