11 October 1933 | A Polish Jewish girl, Berthe Zlotnik, was born in Będzin. She emigrated to France. In August 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy with her mother Sarah, her sisters Jeanine & Yvette and her brother Jacques. All were murdered in a gas chamber.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

One day after the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Association of Evangelicals came out against the Pentagon’s plan to livestream an execution, Pope Leo has published a tweet reiterating the Catholic Church’s opposition to the death penalty.
Pope Leo XIV • @Pontifex• •4h

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption.

FEDERAL DEFENDANTS' STATUS REPORT
On April 7, 2026, this Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary relief and
granted Federal Defendants' motion to stay proceedings "pending completion of [the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration's] ongoing review of the mifepristone REMS and
issuance of any resulting agency decision." ECF No. 258 at 36. The Court directed FDA to file a report within six months "providing the Court with the status of its review in
terms of process and any updated timeframe for completion of the review." Id.
Accordingly, FDA reports as follows:

REMS review. In addition, FDA has been directed to reconsider the 2023 decision
modifying the REMS in two other cases. See Purcell v. Kennedy, Civ. No. 17-00493, 2025
WL 310785 (D. Haw. Oct. 30, 2025); Whole Woman's Health Alliance v. U.S. Food and Drug
Admin., Civ. No. 3:23-00019, 2026 WL 2125567 (W.D. Va. July 23, 2026). Among other
things, those decisions require FDA to apply statutory factors in 21 U.S.C. § 355-1(a)(1)
that, based on the Agency's interpretation of the statutory requirements, it has not
previously evaluated in approving modifications to the REMS; compare mifepristone to
certain other drugs with comparable risks under 21 U.S.C. § 355-1(f) (2) (D)(i); consider
publications beyond those that FDA evaluated in reaching its 2023 decision; and consider the views of patients, providers, and pharmacists if the Agency is considering
imposing elements to assure safe use (also known as ETASU) under 21 U.S.C. § 355-
1(f)(2) as part of the Mifepristone REMS Program.
7. Following completion of its study and review, FDA will decide whether
changes to the Mifepristone REMS Program are necessary and, if applicable, initiate any
such changes in accordance with established processes. FDA anticipates that it will be
able to provide an update to its estimated date of completion as more information
becomes known, particularly in March 2027 when it expects to complete its report on
the final study results
3 In response to the Court's direction to describe "FDA's authority to issue interim orders addressing the prescribing or distribution of a drug if confronted with concerning information during its review," ECF No. 229, the government previously outlined FDA's authorities regarding approval suspension, labeling changes, and REMS
