He gritted his teeth on his way out as he passed Mr. Cross, the Tesla dealer, on his way in."You sort that joker out?" Cross asked."We had a full & frank discussion," Auclair said with a grim smile.But Cross's satisfaction turned to alarm at the sight of a black cloud rising from the parking lot.

Chuck DarwinEven as he has vowed to eliminate “every dollar of waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal budget and operations,” the new acting administrator of the General Services Administration, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stephen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stephen</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ehikian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ehikian</a>, has appointed a senior adviser whose firm used to specialize in tax transactions that a bipartisan Senate committee excoriated and that the IRS branded as “abusive” and among “the worst of the worst tax scams.” The adviser has been battling the tax agency in court over $4 billion in disallowed deductions for thousands of his clients.The GSA, the federal agency responsible for managing the government’s land and property, will now be taking advice from <a href="https://c.im/tags/Frank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Frank</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Schuler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Schuler</a> IV, the 57-year-old co-founder and longtime president of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ornstein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ornstein</a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/Schuler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Schuler</a>, an Atlanta-based real estate investment company. Schuler’s firm was for years among the most prolific promoters of tax-shelter deals known as “syndicated conservation easements.”Schuler and his colleagues exploited a tax deduction that was created to reward landowners who give up development rights for their acreage, usually by donating those rights to a nonprofit land trust. When used as intended, conservation easements can preserve pristine land, sometimes as a park that the public can use, and reward the land donor with a charitable tax deduction.But middlemen like Schuler’s firm turned the tax provision into a highly profitable business, packaging easements into what were essentially outsized tax deductions for purchase. After snatching up a cheap piece of vacant land, Schuler and others typically hired a private appraiser willing to declare that the property had huge untapped development value — that it was suited to become anything from a gravel mine to a luxury resort — and was worth many times its purchase price. They then sold stakes in the easement donation to rich individuals, who claimed wildly inflated tax deductions based on the appraisal, cutting their taxes by twice as much as they’d invested. ProPublica first began investigating the syndicated easement business, which has cost the government tens of billions in tax revenue, back in 2017. <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/frank-schuler-gsa-doge-syndicated-conservation-easements-tax-scam" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.propublica.org/article/frank-schuler-gsa-doge-syndicated-conservation-easements-tax-scam</a>

Dr Ro SmithCaught Frankie and Garlic at a bit of play!This is not the kind of cat video that goes viral, I know, but having watched them kind of courting each other as friends it's really lovely to see them having fun together.The little hop Frankie gives! That's a happy kitty.They didn't play long after this as I think Garlic was cold, so we went back inside.

Chuck DarwinIf confirmed in the Senate, the Social Security Administration’s next commissioner will be the wealthy corporate CEO, Trump and Ron DeSantis donor and Wall Street “fixer,” <a href="https://c.im/tags/Frank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Frank</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bisignano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bisignano</a>.Bisignano is currently the CEO of Fiserv Inc., a leading payment processing service; He has also held positions at Shearson Lehman Brothers and Citigroup, and was formerly the co-COO of JP Morgan Chase. In 2017, he was the second-most highly compensated CEO in the nation, earning over $100 million that year. Among Social Security experts, advocates and recipients alike, this résumé has not inspired confidence in Bisignano’s prospective tenure.Republicans, of course, have long had designs on Social Security, and have sought ways to undermine the program and cut benefits at every turn. The next Trump presidency has presented an opportunity to press the matter and achieve cuts long considered politically impossible, thanks to the extreme unpopularity of such a proposal. There is no indication that Bisignano will refuse to aid Trump and the right as they test the waters and explore various means of sabotaging one of the nation’s most successful, longstanding and crucially important social programs. <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/trumps-appointee-for-social-security-raises-fears-of-austerity-and-cuts/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://truthout.org/articles/trumps-appointee-for-social-security-raises-fears-of-austerity-and-cuts/</a>

In 2005, the Federalist Society began openly advocating for <a href="https://c.im/tags/John" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#John</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Roberts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roberts</a> — a former member — to be nominated to fill a vacant seat at the Supreme Court, the first time it had campaigned publicly for a particular candidate. A few months later, its sway had grown so much that it torpedoed President George W. Bush’s own preferred candidate for another vacant seat on the Supreme Court — <a href="https://c.im/tags/Harriet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Harriet</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Miers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Miers</a>, a judge and close friend of the president who wasn’t a member of the Federalist Society — and pressured him to nominate <a href="https://c.im/tags/Samuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Samuel</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Alito" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alito</a>, one of its members, in her place.

The idea for <a href="https://c.im/tags/JCN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JCN</a> had been hatched at a dinner in Washington attended by Leo and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia shortly after Bush’s reelection in late 2004. JCN spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on radio and online advertisement to shape public opinion. It was run by <a href="https://c.im/tags/Neil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neil</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ann" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ann</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Corkery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Corkery</a>, a couple who had been members of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Opus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Opus</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dei" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dei</a> since at least the eighties. Neil had been a critical figure in getting a new residence for male, celibate members of the Catholic movement built in Reston, Virginia. “Opus Dei members preach their faith through their work as well as the friendships they develop,” Ann explained. She and her husband would later preach their faith by becoming central figures in a series of nonprofits that would channel dark money for Leo’s efforts.
