I’m in DC talking about tariffs at NTA spring symposium today. That was fun, but what is more fun is this truly heroic panel trying to address the tax policy implications of immigration, AI, and the energy transition all at the same time. #NTASS2026

Here is a new paper by me: It's about the late Professor Arthur Cockfield's early work on electronic commerce and the digital economy. I learned alot, writing this one. And it felt important to do. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

This is really a terrible time to work in an industry that requires you to be aware of what is happening

:) it’s that time of year @leandra2848.bsky.social

Starting a new thread on the discussion this morning - which is focused on the decision-making rules that will be adopted for the negotiations of the UN tax convention, over the next three years

Yup.

Here is Adam Levitin on how the Treasury payment system works, and some of the damage that messing with it could cause. www.creditslips.org/creditslips/...

This development, alongside the Lebryk "retirement", is deeply concerning for anyone worried about rule of law, operational competence, or privacy. Musk aides gain access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system wapo.st/3EmllAH

Today is a big day for US tax policy - it’s the first time you can start your tax return using information the IRS already has about you: directfile.irs.gov This is government efficiency in action

Journalists. Please. Too many of you are going to call this a tax “on Colombia”. It’s a tax on Americans. All Americans who ever drink coffee. Or buy cut flowers. A tax. On Americans.

High drama going on at UN tax negotiations right now. webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1b...

There's a growing number of tax professors on here! Time to reshare my slightly less half-baked taxprof starter pack. #tax #taxes #taxsky #taxtwitter #lawsky #taxprof go.bsky.app/U5hFSU2

Listening to Tax Analysts' Taxing Issues panel on "What's Next for Tax Policy?" It's kinda giving me the fiscal heebie jeebies. #taxtwitter

Nice law profs 😎

Re-skeeting this here starter pack in case you know of law & society folks (you?) who ought to be on it:

It was terrific talking about a depressing subject with the incomparable @soumayakeynes.bsky.social. Would Trump’s tariffs really be that bad? ft.com/content/bbce... via @financialtimes.com In short, yes.

Excited to share a project with B. Kiviat & H. Yoon. We uncover how corporate landlords decide what to include in algorithms (it's often not statistically validated-instead cultural archtypes matter) and how landlords decide who to rent to. Check it out in DLJ here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
