In feud with Wes Moore, Trump slings feces - POLITICO

Now as Trump feuds with Moore, the nation's only Black governor, less than two weeks after excluding him from a White House dinner for the National Governor's Association, the image of millions of gallons of raw sewage flowing into the nation's capital offered another level of political punch altogether. The situation comes as Moore is pushing to redraw Maryland's congressional lines to counter Trump's red-state redistricting...

The Supreme Court case seeking to shut down wealth taxes before they exist, Moore v. United States - Vox

The plaintiffs in Moore, however, claim that it is unconstitutional for the federal government to tax profits before those profits are realized. This case is widely viewed as a stalking horse against Warren-style wealth taxes, as it would be impossible to tax wealth (as opposed to merely taxing the income generated by wealth) if the Constitution were to prohibit taxation of unrealized gains on the very assets that Warren-style proposals target. But a sweeping decision in favor of these plaintiffs could also endanger numerous other, existing taxes — forcing the entire government to scramble as hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of anticipated tax revenue is suddenly declared unconstitutional… 

Before the Trump tax bill became law, the United States attempted to tax US corporations' overseas income. Under the old regime, however, corporations could defer taxation of their foreign profits indefinitely by creating a foreign subsidiary. Income earned by these foreign subsidiaries would not be taxed until it was repatriated into the United States, giving companies a strong incentive to hoard money overseas and away from US tax collectors. 

By 2015, US corporations were keeping an estimated $2.6 trillion overseas to prevent this money from being taxed in the United States…

The deranged Supreme Court case that threatens US democracy, Moore v. Harper - Vox

Under the strongest form of this doctrine, members of each state's legislative branch have unchecked authority to decide how elections for Congress and the presidency will be conducted in their state — indeed, a state legislature could potentially pass a law canceling the presidential election in that state and awarding its electoral votes to Donald Trump. Any state constitutional provisions that protect the right to vote, that limit gerrymandering, or that otherwise constrain lawmakers' ability to skew elections would cease to function. State governors would lose their ability to veto laws impacting federal elections. And state courts would lose their authority to strike down these laws...

Trump’s latest Fed picks have supported the gold standard. It’s a terrible idea - The Washington Post

Should borrowing costs go up in the United States because demand for gold has in India? Or because not as much of it is being mined in Australia? These might seem like absurd things to ask — because they are! — but they’re what we’d be even more absurdly be saying yes to if we ever adopted a gold standard like President Trump’s two latest picks for the Federal Reserve, Stephen Moore and Herman Cain, have both advocated in the recent past. ....
