Editor's note: In letters sent after the Oct. 8 U.S.
Senate debate between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, most writers either viewed the debate as a wash, or believed El-Sayed was the winner. We strive to present a fair reflection of reader sentiment when publishing letters to the editor, but the two letters from readers who considered Rogers the winner contained racial and ethnic slurs - as well as demonstrably false claims about El-Sayed - and thus did not meet our standards for publication.

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,…

Four days before yesterday’s ICE shooting in the Bronx, Judge Gary Brown of EDNY (Trump apptee) listed 7 outrages in an ICE case before him, including evasive & apparently perjurious testimony, post-hoc sworn arrest warrant containing false info, woeful lack of training … 1/2
The evidence points to numerous failings on the part of both ICE and the officers
who testified, including:
1. evasive and apparently perjurious testimony by the ICE agents, including the
testimony concerning supposed observations of the petitioner engaging in drug
transactions, which bear all the hallmarks of coordinated fabrication,12 the absence of any recovered drugs, paraphernalia or cash from the petitioner,
the failure of the agents to follow up upon these supposed observations or refer
the matter to another law enforcement agency, and the notable absence of any
reference to these observations in the voluminous documentary records, further undermining the agents' testimony;
2. the seemingly reflexive, though false, claims that the petitioner was
"misidentified" as the target of the operation;
3. fundamental misconceptions about ICE agents authorities and duties;
4. illegality of the arrest and detention of petitioner and Concepcion;
5. the post-arrest documents, which not only were procedurally and legally
suspect, but contain false statements;Notably, in its filings, Government counsel has not referenced this testimony, seemingly abandoning any argument predicated upon these sworn assertions by the agents.

6. the database search process used to justify the administrative warrant, as
described by the ranking supervisory officer, which appears designed to generate misleading information in official records; and
7. the inexperience of the agents involved, their woeful lack of proper training, understanding of law, policies and procedures, and their ready recourse to false testimony to conceal these failings.

Hegseth & Trump are immoral. And Biden could've prevented this. While he commuted most federal death sentences before leaving office, he didn't for those on military death row (www.cityviewnc.com/stories/pres...). Biden could've disarmed an immoral administration but did too little on his way out.

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.

A federal judge ORDERED the Trump admin to privately show him the memo purporting to justify boat strikes that have killed 234 people in the Caribbean and Pacific. Judge Engelmayer rejected several rationales for withholding the memo from the public and will determine whether to release it.
The Court directs defendants to file the declaration(s), and to arrange for the Memo to be available for in camera review, within two weeks of this decision. See ACLU II, 2016 WL 889739, at *6 (ordering Government, within five days, to produce document at issue and “advise the court who has received [it] (including persons who received it from its original recipients) and for what purpose”); Elec. Frontier Found. v. U.S. Dep’t of Just., 826 F. Supp. 2d 157, 172 (D.D.C. 2011) (directing agency to “provide further explanation regarding whether it shared with non-Executive Branch entities the responsive documents that it withheld from the plaintiff”). Defendants are authorized to make appropriate redactions in the declaration as publicly filed, while filing the unredacted declaration under seal. Upon review of these materials, the Court will determine whether to commission supplemental briefing.
