Interestingly, "prominent reporter has romantic relationship with presidential candidate" actually WAS on my 2024 bingo card. Why wouldn't it be? It's 2024; everything else is.

You know how when a computer has a task that it has to devote increasing amounts of its processing power to, and eventually the whole thing just slows down and freezes up? That’s my brain right now trying to game out #Mets playoff scenarios. #LGM

As both a geek and a #Mets fan, I am tickled by the thought of the crazies leaving New York Comic Con on the 7 train today and tomorrow running into the crazies cheering on the Mets headed to Citi Field on the 7 train today and tomorrow. #LGM #NYCC2024 #NYCC #Postseason

Thank God they weren’t using the abominable extra-inning free-runner rule. If they were, that 10th inning plays out differently and you don’t get one of the great moments in recent #WorldSeries history. Get rid of it, MLB! For the regular season, too! youtu.be/jrDacPNWBGA?si…

Coca-Cola has reserved for only a small amount of its potential $16 billion IRS bill - and it's not alone. My Bloomberg Tax deep dive into how some companies don't have enough reserves for what they may owe, and what it may mean for investors. Bloomberg Tax news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-repo…

A long-awaited court ruling in Facebook's battle against the IRS favored the government, but there's a win in it for the company too: It may pay much less than it would have otherwise.

A small bit of the big House tax bill you probably didn't know about: It gets tougher on "disguised sales," which the IRS says partnerships use to avoid taxes. My story for Bloomberg Tax with my colleague Chris Cioffi. Bloomberg Tax news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-repo…

In time, the House's retaliatory-tax plan is projected to start LOSING money. Some tax experts say that means the plan will prompt foreign companies to slash US operations - costing US jobs and hurting economic growth. My latest for Bloomberg Tax.

Yum! Brands, the giant restaurant company, is suing the IRS over a $4 billion tax bill on corporate-reorganization transations that the company contends should be tax-free. My story for Bloomberg Tax. Bloomberg Tax news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-repo…

Companies like Honda Motor and BP seem likely candidates to be hit by the "revenge tax" that's in Congress's tax bill: They've invested heavily in US operations and they hail from nations vulnerable to the revenge tax.

Big companies just got a long-sought tax break on their interest payments. Because of the recent tax bill, less of their interest will be taxable - saving millions a year for manufacturers, telecoms, and drug makers. My latest for Bloomberg Tax. Bloomberg Tax news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-repo…

Some giant companies like Alphabet, Microsoft and Pfizer stand to reap billions of dollars in tax savings from a change in how R&D costs are handled - a change that corporate America lobbied hard for. My latest for Bloomberg Tax. Bloomberg Tax news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-repo…
