We speak today on behalf of the legal profession and its members who seek to live by the oath each took upon admission to the bar. We reject efforts to undermine the courts and the profession. We will not stay silent in the face of efforts to remake the legal profession into something that rewards those who agree with the government and punishes those who do not. Words and actions matter. And the intimidating words and actions we have heard must end. They are designed to cow our country’s judges, our country’s courts and our legal profession. These efforts cannot be sanctioned or normalized. There are clear choices facing our profession. We can choose to remain silent and allow these acts to continue or we can stand for the rule of law and the values we hold dear. We call upon the entire profession, including lawyers who serve in elected positions, to speak out against intimidation. We acknowledge that there are risks to standing up and addressing these important issues. But if the ABA and lawyers do not speak, who will speak for the organized bar? Who will speak for the judiciary? Who will protect our system of justice? If we don’t speak now, when will we speak? The American Bar Association has chosen to stand and speak. Now is the time for all of us to speak with one voice. We invite you to stand with us.

Yeah my Tuesday is not going to be Fat this year :(

My co-author @shuyioei.bsky.social and I just posted our new paper, “Global Tax Decluttering,” looking at a new round of global tax dynamics: 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

srsly

Yup.

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

Musk aides gain access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system The access, granted by Scott Bessent, Trump’s newly confirmed treasury secretary, comes after the ousting of the agency’s top career official.

This development, alongside the Lebryk "retirement", is deeply concerning for anyone worried about rule of law, operational competence, or privacy.

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.

:D

If I come for FQ fest and/or jazz fest, will you fest with me before you leave?

That's an absurd amount of snow for New Orleans.

You're welcome! And I just added you #taxsky #tax

It's like watching a rather polite global tax fist fight where nobody is saying 100% of what they actually want to say... #UNTaxConvention #taxsky #tax

All my favorite stuff is at the top of this staircase. Except the ice cream, which is at the bottom. #dancestudio #burrito

You're welcome! Will keep updating.

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

What did they say? My focus is state tax and we don’t pay for tax analysts.

Obvs we don't know what's actually going to happen yet, but worth a listen for a broad mapping of the issues and moving parts!
