☆ Trump probably can't say special counsel Jack Smith 'looks like a crackhead' anymore after a federal judge imposed a limited gag order
  + stars: | 2023-10-16 | by ( Brent D. Griffiths | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Trump is now facing a limited gag order after a federal judge's ruling on Monday. Judge Tanya Chutkan's order will limit Trump's attacks on potential witnesses, prosecutors, and court staff. Trump has repeatedly criticized special counsel Jack Smith, including saying he "looks like a crackhead." AdvertisementAdvertisementFederal judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday imposed a limited gag order that if it stands would force the end of former President Donald Trump's social media barrages against special counsel Jack Smith and his team. The former president's attorneys had argued that imposing such a restriction would unfairly limit Trump's First Amendment rights, an argument Chutkan strongly rejected.

☆ A federal watchdog is suing a tech boot camp, accusing it of loading students up with 'predatory' debt and telling them it could collect 'more than the consumer legally owed'

The CFPB and state attorneys general sued a career boot camp that declared bankruptcy in 2022. Prehired sued nearly 300 former students last year, saying they'd defaulted on their loans. "Prehired also represented that consumers would pay nothing until they got a job and 'partner[ed] with' Prehired in their career. The lawsuit also accused Prehired of "falsely representing the amount of debt owed by consumers by stating that Prehired could collect more than the consumer legally owed." The complaint said Prehired filed more than 280 lawsuits in 2022 demanding that former students who it said had defaulted pay $25,000 each.

☆ Washington Judges Redefine Income
  + stars: | 2023-03-27 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Public unions and progressives have tried for years to overturn Washington State’s ban on income taxes. And on Friday they finally succeeded as the state Supreme Court upheld a new 7% tax on capital gains. Washingtonians can look forward to a future of higher taxes on property and investment. Washington has a provision in its state constitution requiring uniform taxes on property. Decades of precedent in the Washington courts have defined income as property, thereby preventing lawmakers from imposing income taxes without amending their constitution.
☆ Lawmakers call on 8 states to pass wealth taxes to help pay for childcare, affordable housing, and ending homelessness
  + stars: | 2023-01-19 | by ( Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Lawmakers and advocates are pushing to pass wealth taxes in eight states, after a federal plan failed to pass. The taxes would target both realized and unrealized capital gains, assets like stocks and bonds. "Funding our future means using the revenue generated from the Washington state wealth tax to expand access to affordable homes for working Washingtonians," Frame said. In California, a wealth tax on the unrealized capital gains of the top 0.1% would yield nearly $22 billion, according to California assembly member Alex Lee. Targeting capital gains and unrealized gains are not a new idea, but haven't been able to pick up the federal traction they need to be implemented across the country.
