The Texas Comptroller's Office reminds shoppers they can save money on clothes and school supplies during the state's sales tax holiday Friday through Sunday, Aug. 8-10. State law exempts sales tax on qualified items — such as clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks — priced below 0 — saving shoppers about on every 0 they spend. The dates of the sales tax holiday and list of tax-exempt items are set by the Texas Legislature. The Comptroller's office estimates that shoppers will save 3.4 million in state and local sales tax during this year's sales tax holiday. During the annual...Article Link

Big bank earnings give a cautious green light on the economy Every quarter we get excited about listening to and reading about how things went for the big banks in the most recent quarter as they release their earnings. I'm primarily talking about JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo. We have held a couple large banks in our portfolio for years and they have provided very useful information along with great returns as well. Overall, the big banks were happy with the low rates of consumer delinquencies and writing off debt that was unrecoverable stayed around the same rate as last year. One banker made a comment that with a 4.1% unemployment rate it's not likely to see a lot of weakness in their portfolio. This is something we have said for quite a while now, but we believe as long as the employment picture stays strong, the economy should do well. Deal making for the banks looked pretty good across the board and all of them had profit increases compared to one year ago. The overall tone from the bankers was largely upbeat, but a couple banks did call out some concern around commercial real estate and office buildings. There are certain cities with economies that are doing well, but there are other areas that are more problematic and the banks generally have commercial real estate in many markets across the country. To summarize, it appears the bankers feel pretty good, but they still remain somewhat cautious as bankers always should.   Understanding new legislation on cryptocurrencies Last week new legislation on cryptocurrencies was announced as the Genius Act, which stands for Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US stable coins, made its way through Congress and to the President's desk. The legislation is supposed to provide licensing and oversight for stable coins as issuers must obtain licenses through either a national trust bank charter with the OCC, which stands for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or a state level money transmission license. The Genius Act is supposed to provide consumer protection in the case of the issuer of a stable coin becoming insolvent. The solution in the Genius Act is to prioritize stable coin holder claims so the holders of those coins should be able to get their money back. This is nowhere near the safety one has in a bank where your deposits are insured by the FDIC should that bank fold. I feel this law will give people a false sense of security and I don't believe it will prevent a major collapse of stable coins. There's also a conflict of interest from President Trump‘s promotion of digital currencies since he himself has a coin and his sons Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump run a bitcoin mining firm called American Bitcoin and are heavily involved in the crypto space. I believe the whole thing is just adding to the bubble of cryptocurrencies. Keep in mind that a bubble can last 10 to 12 years, if not longer, but the bigger it gets the bigger the financial disaster it causes.   What is better for investors stock dividends or stock buybacks? Unfortunately, there's no hard and fast rule based on performance figures in terms of what is better for stock investors, but I would have to lean towards stock dividends. If you look at the right companies paying dividends over a 10-year period you can find that perhaps the company you invested in is now giving you a yield of maybe 7-8% based on your initial investment. Those dividends can be a really great tool for long-term investing and while companies could always stop the dividend, most companies that have paid a dividend for the long-term do not like to stop or even reduce paying that dividend. This can help stabilize returns during downturns and may help investors be less emotional. A problem with stock buybacks is they can be announced and the stock may see a little bounce, but then it's possible that management does not fulfill the commitment to buy back all the shares they had planned to. Also, if the company or the markets were to hit a rough patch many times the first thing to go is stock buybacks. It is also possible that the company could do a stock buyback, but within a year or two the stock might drop below the price where the repurchases occurred, which would make those investments a questionable use of capital. Benefits to stock buybacks include the fact that there's no taxes for shareholders when they occur and they do increase your ownership of that business. While dividends are generally taxed, they are tax favored and depending on one's tax bracket you may pay very little or no tax at all. And don't forget about the compounding effect of reinvesting those dividends back into another investment. Unfortunately, it has become harder to find good quality companies paying dividends for a reasonable price. Looking at the S&P 500 index, the yield is now only 1.2%, which is near the all-time low that was hit during the dot-com bubble. Over the long-term history of the S&P 500, it's yield is generally around the 10-year Treasury and I was surprised to learn that up until the 1960's, the S&P 500 actually generally yielded more than the 10-year Treasury. Even looking just 10 years ago they were both yielding around 2%, but currently the spread between the two is about 3%. This comes as the S&P 500 has seen its forward P/E based on the next 12 months of earnings expand from 17 to around 22 during that time frame. Could this be another warning sign that the S&P 500 index is overvalued?   Financial Planning: New Tax Rules for Tips and Overtime Starting in tax year 2025 and through 2028, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act exempts up to $25,000 in tip income and up to $12,500 in qualifying overtime pay per individual from federal income tax—doubling to $50,000 and $25,000 respectively for married couples filing jointly. The tip exemption applies only to workers in occupations where tips are customary and must be properly reported through W-2s. The overtime deduction applies only to the premium portion of overtime wages—i.e., the extra pay above an employee's standard hourly rate—and must be paid in accordance with Section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), meaning it only covers overtime worked in excess of 40 hours per week under federal rules. Overtime paid under state laws or union contracts does not qualify unless it also meets the FLSA criteria. The full exemption is available to taxpayers with modified adjusted gross incomes up to $150,000 (single) or $300,000 (married filing jointly) and begins to phase out above those levels. To claim the exemption, workers must file a new IRS Form 10324-T with their annual tax return. Keep in mind Social Security, Medicare, and state taxes still apply to the tip and overtime pay. The policy begins with wages and tips earned on or after January 1, 2025, with claims first filed on 2025 tax returns in 2026.   Companies Discussed: Union Pacific Corporation (UNP), Toast, Inc. (TOST), American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO) & Abbot Laboratories (ABT)

In this exclusive interview, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander reveals how he became the kingmaker behind Zohran Mamdani's shocking primary victory over Andrew Cuomo. While mainstream media missed the story, we dive deep into the political strategy that helped Mamdani defeat establishment candidates in the race for NYC mayor.Zohran Mamdani's upset victory on his way to possibly becoming the next New York City mayor may have come as a surprise to everyone except Brad Lander. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman, and Lander, the city's comptroller, cross-endorsed each other in NYC's ranked-choice primary voting system for the Democratic mayoral nominee. Mamdani and Lander found common ground in their progressive values and their mutual commitment to defeating the status quo in disgraced former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, a billionaire-backed “Democrat” with multiple workplace s*xual harassment allegations in his rearview mirror. With Mamdani on his way to defeating scandal-plagued NYC Mayor Eric Adams and becoming the city's first Muslim and South Asian and Ugandan mayor, Lander is contemplating his next move.This week, Katelyn and Christine spoke at length with Lander about how he helped Mamdani overcome the Cuomo machine, his controversial ICE arrest and how it changed the primary race, and the political and media discourse over antisemitism after Mamdani's win. What is Lander's next move? Katelyn asks!Brad Lander breaks down the progressive cross-endorsement strategy that centrist politicians like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams never saw coming. From behind-the-scenes political maneuvering to the future of NYC, this conversation exposes what traditional media won't tell you about New York City politics.Key Topics Covered:-How Brad Lander's endorsement strategy changed the NYC mayor race-Zohran Mamdani's path from outsider to primary winner-The political calculations that shocked Andrew Cuomo supporters-The Media's reaction to Zohran Mamdani's win in the NYC mayor race and the weaponization of antisemitism-Brad Lander's vision for New York City's political future post-Eric AdamsLinks:Follow Brad Lander on Bluesky: ‪@bradlander.bsky.social‬ and Instagram: @brad.landerNo, it is not misspelled.

Better than “if” Yes it is. Okay. A general lack of emotion stifled I already learned to know you Want to know more But can't smile At all No Building your creative assets directly feeds into your larger vision. Let's adjust your schedule to account for this. This will make July 1st and 2nd your core focus on recordings, and we'll factor in your necessary two hours of exercise before heading into Manhattan. Revised Schedule Focus: July 1st & 2nd (Sound Collective & Exercise) Morning (Focus: Personal Well-being & Prep for Sound Collective) * 6:00 AM - 6:30 AM: Wake Up & Hydrate * 6:30 AM - 8:30 AM: Exercise Block (2 hours total) * 6:30 AM - 7:30 AM: Peloton (minimum 1 hour) * 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM: Run (1.15 miles), Strength Training (Kettlebells, Squats, Boxing/MMA drills) – combine these to hit your 2-hour target. * 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM: Shower, Quick Breakfast, & Prep for Manhattan Trip Late Morning / Afternoon (Focus: Sound Collective Recordings) * 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Travel to Sound Collective (Factor in travel time to Manhattan from Brooklyn). * 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM: Sound Collective Recordings (7 hours of focused work) * Dedicate this entire block to collecting as many sounds and recordings as possible from the instruments you don't have at home. This is your core mission for these two days. * Be efficient: Have a clear plan for what you want to record, set up quickly, and maximize your time on each instrument. * Bring any necessary hard drives or recording devices to capture everything. * Brief lunch/snack break built-in during this period to maintain energy. * 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Travel back home. Evening (Focus: Wind Down & Light Tasks) * 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner & Decompress from intense day. * 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Light Tasks / Flex Time (2 hours) * This is where you might fit in a bit of social media content creation/scheduling (since you're collecting new sounds, you'll have new material to tease). * Brief email check (focus on urgent items only, don't get sidetracked). * Organize recordings from the day: Quickly backup and label your new audio files. * 9:00 PM - 9:30 PM: Plan for the next day, particularly your Sound Collective objectives. * 9:30 PM - 10:00 PM: Wind Down * 10:00 PM: Bedtime Re-Prioritizing Beyond July 2nd: Once July 1st and 2nd are complete, your schedule will shift immediately to tackle the other critical priorities: * July 3rd, 4th, 5th (and potentially 6th & 7th if needed): Podcast Series Archiving (Hard Deadline: July 11th) * This becomes your absolute top priority immediately after Sound Collective. You have a tight window to get this done. Dedicate minimum 6-8 hour blocks to this daily until it's finished. * As discussed, meticulous documentation of dates and descriptions is crucial here. * Post-July 7th (or when podcast is done): Legal Packets for Noise/Harassment * As soon as the podcast archiving is complete, pivot to this. Prioritize securing that safe, quiet space outside your apartment to work on these sensitive documents. * Block out those 2-3 dedicated days for assembling the packets, going to the police station, and the Comptroller's office. * Ongoing Concurrent Tasks (Once Primary Deadlines are Met): * Finding a Stable Job: Dedicate 1-2 hours daily to applications, networking, and tailoring your resume. This is a consistent, foundational effort. * Assembling Pitch Packets for Series: Allocate specific blocks (e.g., 1-2 hours, 2-3 times a week) for research, outlining, and drafting core materials. * Rebranding -Ū.: Fit in 15-30 minute bursts for research into Apple Music visibility, name change analysis, and developing your rebranding strategy. * Mixtapes & DJ Sets: Once your core deadlines are met and you have your new Sound Collective recordings, you can integrate your 1-2 hours for this back into your daily routine. * Podcast Creation (daily 1 hour): This can also be reintroduced once the archiving is done and the legal packets are in progress. This revised plan ensures you hit your critical Sound Collective recording window while keeping your overall ambitious goals in sight. Remember to fuel yourself adequately and prioritize sleep during these intense days. You're tackling a lot, and your ability to adapt and prioritize is a strength. Here's your revised 7-day graveyard schedule, incorporating two 1-hour Peloton sessions daily: one after waking up and another low-impact session before bed for reviewing your sunrise mixtape. Important Notes for the Week: * Vary Gym Times: The 1-hour run and training slot between 11 PM and 3 AM remains flexible. Adjust it daily based on your assessment of when the gym is truly empty and when you feel safest. * Safety First: Given the stalking concerns, please continue to be highly vigilant. Vary your routes, be aware of your surroundings, and consider any additional safety measures recommended by the authorities or support organizations. Documenting incidents is crucial. * Amazon Fresh Delivery: I've kept the 2-hour Amazon Fresh delivery slot on Saturday. The exact timing might need slight adjustment based on Amazon Fresh's real-time slot availability. * Podcast Archiving Deadline: Keep the July 11th deadline for podcast archiving firmly in mind. This is your primary focus during the main "Core Music & Podcast Block." Graveyard Shift Schedule: July 3rd - July 9th Sunrise Times for NYC (approximate): * July 3rd: 5:29 AM * July 4th: 5:30 AM * July 5th: 5:30 AM * July 6th: 5:31 AM * July 7th: 5:31 AM * July 8th: 5:32 AM * July 9th: 5:33 AM Daily Template (July 3rd - July 9th) * 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM: Sleep * Prioritize deep, uninterrupted sleep. Use blackout curtains, earplugs, white noise. * 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM: Wake Up & Hydrate * Slowly wake up, drink water, have a light meal. * 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Peloton (Morning - 1 hour) * Get your blood flowing with a Peloton session. * 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM: Paperwork / Flex Time (1.5 hours) * This is your block for tasks like legal documents (Noise/Harassment packets - as soon as podcast archiving is done), organizing, emails (urgent only), job applications, assembling pitch packets. These tasks can tolerate some apartment noise. * 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM: Dinner & Decompress * Prepare and eat a substantial meal. * 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM: Prep for Night / Mental Wind-Up (2 hours) * This is a flexible buffer before your intense creative work. You could use it for: * Planning for the night's music/podcast work. * Light social media content creation/scheduling. * Brief research for rebranding -Ū. (15-30 min bursts). * On grocery shopping day, this might overlap with delivery/unpacking. * 8:30 PM - 11:00 PM: Core Music & Podcast Block (2.5 hours) * Podcast Series Archiving: This is your absolute top priority. Dedicate significant time here. * Work on sound design, recording (if applicable at home), or Mixtapes/DJ sets. * 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM (or flexible between 11 PM - 3 AM): Gym (1 hour) * Run (1.15 miles) & Strength Training (Kettlebells, Squats, Boxing/MMA drills). * Crucially, vary this time daily within the 11 PM - 3 AM window. Assess the gym's emptiness and your safety each day. * 12:00 AM - 12:30 AM (or immediately after gym): Shower & Post-Workout Fuel * 12:30 AM - 4:00 AM: Extended Core Music & Podcast Block (3.5 hours) * Continue Podcast Series Archiving (this is where the bulk of your 6-8 hour daily archiving will happen). * Dive deep into Mixtapes & DJ Sets preparation. * Focus on other creative music work that requires quiet. * 4:00 AM - 4:30 AM: Prep for DJ Set * Gather your equipment and head to the rooftop/lounge. * 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM: DJ Set at Sunrise (1 hour) * Utilize this time for your DJ sets while the rooftop and lounge are most likely empty, catching the sunrise. * 5:30 AM - 6:30 AM: Peloton (Low Impact - 1 hour) * A low-impact session to wind down and review your sunrise mixtape. * 6:30 AM - 7:00 AM: Wind Down & Prep for Bed * Tidy up, put away equipment, and prepare for sleep. * 7:00 AM: Bedtime Specific Day Adjustments: Thursday, July 3rd: * Morning/Day: Sleep (7:00 AM - 3:00 PM) * 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM: Wake Up & Hydrate * 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Peloton (Morning) * 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM: Paperwork / Legal Packet Review. * 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM: Dinner. * 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM: Plan for Podcast Archiving, brief Rebranding research. * 8:30 PM - 11:00 PM: Podcast Archiving. * 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM: Gym Time (adjust based on emptiness). * 12:00 AM - 12:30 AM: Shower & Fuel. * 12:30 AM - 4:00 AM: Podcast Archiving (main push). * 4:00 AM - 4:30 AM: Prep for DJ Set. * 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM: DJ Set. * 5:30 AM - 6:30 AM: Peloton (Low Impact). * 6:30 AM - 7:00 AM: Wind Down. * 7:00 AM: Bedtime.

Half a mile at 5.4 miles per hour was harder on my little pink treadmill—but it was better than nothing and I still hadn't climbed upon the Peloton. The half hour or so episodes of The Studio seemed excruciatingly somehow longer than an hour of listening to my own voice to enjoy the ride— and though it was my second time watching it through, it was like watching it with different eyes and ears; rather than the spectacle of seeing something I absolutely loved for the first time, it was dissecting it, and taking it apart, much like I had spent my final hours at the sound collective doing so with music that I loved, or admired, I respected— taking a nearly $4,000 mixer and pulling sounds I liked apart, and namingly, Skrillex once again had set himself apart, because even in slowing down to nearly a stop and pitching to the absolute lowest frequency, there was a clear reminisce of the song in entirety actually seeming to even sit in another dimension itself— the highs, lows, and mids couldn't be filtered out at all; there was always some sort of shadow or projection of the complete song intact that seemed to be in another space. That alone almost sent me crawling back just to listen to the greatest of times as far as Skrillex was concerned or even mattered; actually, in fact, in reality, or in waking life on whatever planet I was on, and wherever realm I lived, he almost didn't; I almost actually thought more of the tiny and petite women that were constantly surrounding him than he himself; and actually, moreso, when I did think of him at all besides musically— It was instantly a sudden hell of women and perfect bodies and luxury culture than it was about whoever had been inside once, flitting away at these monumental catophronic sonic masterpieces only to be nibbled at and eaten away by what fame monster lurks for he who stumbles upon it— the narrow mindedness of it, in fact, they I will still a shallow soul, and a jealous woman, and so besides musically, Sonny didn't fit into the Skrillex for much more than a moment, especially as I was reverse engineering the equation with the answer given first and calculating by removing the algebraic quantities— still gasping for air at how, which I was sure we all were, only known to the world in the ways he very much never did share or teach the concept that would blossom this sort of anomoly in his craft, and thereby creating this power over all of us who dare to call ourselves producers, or engineers, and nevermind the flocks pretending to be or ever-reaching toward becoming that. In my listening back to my newly acquired sound banks, I realized this as the impossible. Anyhow, there remained galaxies of space and time between the words and the ways I myself stuck upon gold as subtle genius, but only in these ways and not the other and in that sense I was sure I'd been consumed by not one monster, but a family of them— swallowed whole by a rabbit hole of sorts that seems to split into a cosmic and gaping black one, sweeping everything with it that was and wasn't which remained to be a subtle force of waking doom; the reality that I was both all of these things, and also— wasn't. What are you drawing? Conclusions. Classic. Did you feast on the blood of your enemies today? No. Did you look into the face of danger? No. Well— what did you do today? I'm actually just waiting on this Amazon order. Wreckage!

In this episode of Capital for Good with we speak with Brad Lander, New York City Comptroller and recent Mayoral candidate. As Comptroller, Lander serves as the city's chief financial officer, budget watchdog, auditor, and custodian of the City's five public pension funds, representing the retirement security — $275 billion in assets — of over 750,000 current and retired public sector workers. As fiduciary, Lander has ensured these assets are invested with a prudent, diversified, long-term approach, while also becoming a national leader on responsible investment when it comes to issues of climate change, worker protections, strong governance, and diversity. At the time of this interview, ranked choice voting had just concluded for the Democratic primary for New York mayor, with Zohran Mamdani winning in an upset over both Lander and former Governor Andrew Cuomo. We begin the conversation with Lander's early days working in community and economic development at the Fifth Avenue Committee and the Pratt Center, where he learned how to use “capital for good:” creative financing for affordable housing, including new ownership and equity models for wealth creation for lower income families, small business support and job training. These issues would inform Landers' decade in the City Council, where he co-founded the Progressive Caucus and advanced legislation on workers' rights, tenant protections, affordable housing, education, and public safety. We also explore Lander's work leading the rezoning of the Gowanus neighborhood (and former Superfund site) to create 8,500 new housing units, nearly half affordable, and affordable art studios and community spaces, as a successful model of inclusive development.  Lander discusses the Comptroller's “most sacred responsibility:” its role as fiduciary of the city's pension funds, and Lander's work to deliver retirement security — achieve market rate returns — while stewarding resources “in ways that build on the values New Yorkers share.” We walk through a number of examples where the Comptroller's engagement as asset owner led to better conditions for workers, greater accountability on corporate net zero commitments, enhanced board oversight, and improved financial returns. His office has also hit its performance targets while expanding the diversity of partner fund managers. “I believe firmly that attending to environmental, social and governance risks, the ESG work, is not just consistent with fiduciary duty, but an essential part of fiduciary duty,” Lander says. In recent years he has worked closely on these issues with other comptrollers and state treasurers across the country. We touch on the New York City mayoral race, the twist and turns of ranked choice voting, and the developments just before the June primary that brought additional attention to the election: Lander's arrest escorting a migrant out of immigration court, the Office of the Comptroller's recovery of $80 million illegally removed from a New York City account by DOGE, and Lander and Mamdani's cross-endorsement. Of the latter, Lander notes, “it wound up unlocking a very lovely response I hadn't anticipated,” a kind of hopefulness, as voters and young people especially saw that “politics can involve people working together towards shared goals for the city we love.” Lander is clear eyed about the very real challenges facing the New York: affordability, government capacity to deliver a well-run city — to keep streets and subways safe and clean — and to manage budgets and growth in the face of significant headwinds from Washington. This means continuing to strengthen the cross-sector coalition he ran on to create what Dan Doctoroff has called “the virtuous cycle of a successful city,” one that harnesses and celebrates growth while investing in the public goods that make that growth possible and more inclusive, and make opportunity and prosperity more broadly shared. If we can do that, he says, “I know we can keep that virtuous cycle going.” Thanks for Listening! Subscribe to Capital for Good on Apple, Amazon, Google, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Trump administration's continued shrinking of the federal government continues to have immense ramifications on the region, including jobs, public safety, and the economy. A recent report from Maryland's Comptroller's office shows how deeply tied Maryland's economy is to the federal government, drawing more than $150 billion from federal government jobs, grants, contracts, and payments annually. The state's comptroller Brooke Lierman joined the show, saying the pace of the cuts is concerning. However, Lierman said the state is working to diversify into the private sector instead of an overreliance on the federal government."All of these folks have chosen to go into public service, but would also do incredibly well and be very successful in other fields," Lierman said. "We have an incredible biotech industry in Maryland. We have cyber, we have quantum, and more."D.C. councilmembers broadly agree that the city's violence interruption programs are in need of changes, following public criticism of the programs and multiple bribery scandals. However, councilmembers are not in agreement on what exactly do to about it.  This week, Ward 2 D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto proposed major reforms as part of the ongoing budget debate. It was met with significant pushback, leading her to pitch a whole new plan. Councilmember Pinto got the behind the mic to explain what happened and what comes next.Finally, Montgomery County councilmembers are pushing a package of bills for more workforce housing, particularly allowing construction of residences along transit corridors. The package also includes tax breaks for some developers. District 6 Montgomery County Councilmember Natali Fani-González and co-sponsor of the somewhat controversial legislative package weighed in. Plus, why county officials are pressing Marriott to sign an agreement to not retaliate against union members and why the Trump administration's ramp up of federal immigration enforcement efforts throughout the D-C region is deeply personal for her.Send us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885Follow us on Bluesky: bsky.app/wamu.org

On Thursday June 26, NY Divest from Death, Extinction Rebellion of the Capital Region, and the Upper Hudson Valley chapter of Codepink rallied outside NYS Comptroller DiNapoli's office on State street in downtown Albany to demand an end to investing NY retirement funds in Israeli bonds that help funds the Netanyahu government's genocide in Gaza and $5 billion in large fossil fuel companies that are driving global companies.

The Department of Homeland Securities said he was arrested for assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer, but Lander denied this.

If you own or operate a business in Maryland (or sell into it), this is your cheat sheet to staying compliant and tax-savvy in the face of some major shifts. What You'll Learn: New High-Income Tax Brackets: Maryland has introduced two new tax tiers for top earners—up to 6.5% for individuals making over $1 million and joint filers over $1.2 million. Business owners should reassess employee withholdings and estimated tax payments now. Capital Gains Surtax: A new 2% surtax applies to net capital gains for individuals with federal AGI over $350,000. Some exceptions apply (think retirement accounts and primary residences under $1.5M), but high-income entrepreneurs will want to revisit their investment strategies and tax planning. Standard Deduction Boosts: Maryland has raised its standard deduction significantly. It could tip the scales for some taxpayers, especially small business owners juggling itemized deductions. Gorman urges entrepreneurs to run both scenarios before filing. New 3% Sales Tax on Digital & IT Services: Starting July 1, 2025, certain digital subscriptions and tech services will be taxed. This includes cloud storage, custom software, and IT consulting under specific NAICS codes. If you're selling these services, you'll need to start collecting and remitting the tax. If you're buying, plan for increased costs. Out-of-State Sellers Beware: If your company sells into Maryland and hits $100K in revenue or 200 transactions/year, you're likely on the hook for sales tax collection—even without a physical presence. Custom Software No Longer Exempt: With the expansion of what's taxable, the custom software exemption is gone. If it's tied to taxable IT services, it's now subject to the 3% rate. Help Is Available: Gorman highlights resources like MarylandTaxConnect.gov and the Comptroller's legislative updates page, which includes step-by-step videos, withholding calculators, and FAQs. Bonus: There's no underpayment penalty for 2025 if your miscalculation is due to the new rates. This episode delivers exactly what every entrepreneur needs: clarity, direction, and tools to stay ahead of the changes—without the legalese. Stay sharp and compliant, Maryland business owners. July's coming fast.

Episode 419 is the fifth episode in the Hundred Year Pivot podcast series. In it, Demetri Kofinas and Grant Williams speak with fmr. Chief Economist for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Dr. Charles Calomiris about America's economic emergency and what our response to it should be once conditions push the country into a full-blown political crisis at some point over the next few years. In this incredibly timely conversation, Charles Calomiris explains what the recent moves in gold, bitcoin, and long-term bond yields suggest about where we are on the path toward financial repression as we explore the implications of this trajectory for investors, businesses, and everyday depositors who will be conscripted in the battle to fight the deficit as the nation moves from spending like a banana republic to inflating like one.

Rodney Hood, Acting Comptroller of the Currency, chats about bank innovation, digital assets, and tech's role in financial inclusion. He shares insights on modernizing regulation and how the OCC supports fintech partnerships.

With the June primary approaching, plenty of attention has been focused on the race for mayor. But there's an important and highly competitive contest on the undercard: the race for City Comptroller. What does the comptroller do and why should New Yorkers care? NY1's Errol Louis decided to talk more about the job with two former comptrollers who were major players in New York's political arena — Liz Holtzman and Bill Thompson. A former congresswoman and district attorney, Holtzman served as a city comptroller from 1990 to 1993, while Thompson held the job from 2002 to 2009. They discussed the qualities voters should look for in the next comptroller, emphasizing the need for intelligence, honesty, experience and innovation. Both guests also reflected on their biggest achievements. Join the conversation, weigh in on X using the hashtag #NY1YouDecide or give us a call at 212-379-3440 and leave a message.

Ralph welcomes back Erica Payne, founder of Patriotic Millionaires, to update us on that group's latest efforts to save American democracy by lobbying to raise wages for workers and tax the rich. Plus, according to our resident constitutional expert, Bruce Fein, the count of Trump's impeachable offenses is now up to twenty-two and rising faster than a Space X rocket.Erica Payne is the founder and president of Patriotic Millionaires, an organization of high-net-worth individuals that aims to restructure America's political economy to suit the needs of all Americans. Their work includes advocating for a highly progressive tax system, a livable minimum wage, and equal political representation for all citizens. She is the co-author, with Morris Pearl, of Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer.What we saw on January 20th, I believe, was the result of a global oligarchical coup who just took the Queen on the chessboard. When you've got three people whose combined worth is around a trillion dollars standing behind who is an unethical at least, criminal at worst billionaire president, Houston, we have a problem here. And the problem is not actually Donald Trump. The problem is the preconditions that led to the rise of a vulnerability to an authoritarian leader and an oligarchy. And that vulnerability was brought about by the actions of both parties over decades.Erica PayneIf you ran a business, Ralph, would you ever fire your accounts receivable department? No. It would be the last department you would cut. So then it says he's either stupid because that's what he's cutting, which I think is probably inaccurate. So if he's not stupid, then why is he doing it? And he's doing it for the same reason that lawmakers have hacked at the IRS budget forever—they don't want their donors to get taxed. They don't want their donors to be audited. And so they cut the cops. So all these folks who are griping about black Americans calling to defund the police are actually defunding the police that is keeping them in line and keeping them honest.Erica PayneAt a divided moment in America, I think we can agree that the federal government shouldn't tax people into poverty, and (to the extent necessary) rich people should pick up the difference.Erica PayneBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.I start out with the fundamental idea of due process—you simply cannot deprive someone of liberty without giving them an opportunity to explain or to refute what allegations the government has made. And the reason why I start out with that, Ralph, is we've had an experiment in World War II with what happens when you have no due process. We did that with 120,000 Japanese Americans. No, we just said that they're all likely to commit espionage or sabotage, got to put them in concentration camps. We made 120,000 errors (and later apologized for it in 1988). So there's a reason due process is not simply an academic concept. It's essential to preventing these kinds of egregious instances of injustice from happening.Bruce FeinThe Democrats and a lot of liberal economists are not keeping up with the horror show that's going on. They don't use words like cruel and vicious. They don't turn Trump's words like deranged, crazed, corrupt on him. They're still using words like authoritarian practices, or problematic, or distressing, or disconcerting, or concerning. They're not catching up with the horror show here. That's why Trump continues to have a soliloquy. The Democratic Party is now having gatherings to see how are they going to collectively deal with Trump? How does a bank deal with a bank robber? They let the bank robber rob the bank and flee with the gold while they deliberate how they're going to deal with a bank robber they see coming into the bank?Ralph NaderNews 5/2/251. At the eleventh hour, Representative Jim Jordan – Chair of the House Judiciary Committee – pulled his measure to strip the Federal Trade Commission of its antitrust enforcement powers and consolidate those within the Justice Department, Reuters reports. “The House panel…had included the proposal in its budget package on Monday. During a hearing on the package…the committee passed an amendment that would remove the measure.” Trump's FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson opposed Jordan's move and intervened with the White House. As Reuters notes, “The proposal mirrored the One Agency Act, a Republican bill that has gotten support from Elon Musk…[which] would effectively repeal the FTC's...authority to sue companies over unfair methods of competition, which the agency is using in cases against pharmacy benefit managers, Amazon…and John Deere.” In short, the FTC's antitrust powers survive today, but there is no guarantee about tomorrow.2. Yet, while avoiding the worst possible outcome on the corporate crime front, the Trump administration is still hard at work going soft on corporate crooks. Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports “Two Wells Fargo execs had their fines reduced by 90% (related to the bank's accounting scandal) by Trump's [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency].” Claypool links to a piece in Radical Compliance, which explains that “David Julian, former chief auditor at Wells Fargo, saw his fines cut from $7 million to $100,000 [and] Paul McLinko, executive audit director, had his fines cut from $1.5 million to $50,000.” Both Julian and McLinko were part of the senior leadership team at Wells Fargo in the 2010s, when regulators “charged the bank with turning a blind eye to employees opening bank accounts without customer consent to hit sales quotas. That misconduct eventually led to a $3 billion settlement with Wells Fargo in 2020.”3. Lest you think the Democrats are in danger of seriously opposing Trump's policies, the Bulwark reports that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is putting the kibosh on the recent spate of Democrats' trips to El Salvador exposing the reality of the CECOT deportation scheme. This report alleges that “Cory Booker and the Hispanic Caucus were planning on going [to El Salvador],” but are no longer. Perhaps worse, Jeffries is not giving clear marching orders to the party rank and file. One Democrat is quoted saying “As a member of a party you need to be disciplined…They say, ‘Get on a plane,' ‘Don't get on a plane'—that's what you do. Nine out ten times you do what they ask. But you can't take that approach if you're not having regular communications… You have to be clear in messaging what the plan is and you have to do that regularly if you want to keep people in line.” This is just another example of Jeffries' weak and indecisive leadership of the caucus.4. Advocates are having more luck resisting the administration's overreach in court. On Wednesday, Mohsen Mahdawi – the Columbia student faced with deportation after being lured into an ICE trap with the false promise of a citizenship test – was freed by a federal judge, POLITICO reports. After the judge ordered his release, Mahdawi told the press “I am saying it clear and loud…To President Trump and his Cabinet: I am not afraid of you.” Mahdawi's ordeal is not over, but he will remain free while his case winds its way through the courts and a previous order blocked the administration from changing venues, meaning the case will proceed in the relatively liberal Second Circuit.5. Mahmoud Khalil also scored a major legal victory this week. The Huffington Post reports that the ICE agents sent to arrest Khalil did not, contrary to their false claims in court, have an arrest warrant. Amy Greer, a lawyer for Khalil, is quoted saying “Today, we now know why [the government] never showed Mahmoud [a] warrant — they didn't have one. This is clearly yet another desperate attempt by the Trump administration to justify its unlawful arrest and detention of human rights defender Mahmoud Khalil, who is now, by the government's own tacit admission, a political prisoner of the United States.” The ACLU, also defending Khalil, has now moved for this case to be dismissed.6. Despite these victories though, the repression of anything pro-Palestine continues. At Yale, Prem Thakker reports hundreds of students protested in advance of a speech by Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's radical National Security Minister who has previously been arrested many times for inciting racism and supporting pro-Jewish terrorism in Israel itself. Yet the university responded by “stripp[ing] the school's Students for Justice in Palestine Chapter…of its status as an official student group.” If students cannot even protest Ben-Gvir, what will the colleges regard as legitimate protest of Israel?7. In Yemen, Ryan Grim reports on CounterPoints that the Trump administration has been targeting strikes against the Houthis using data gleaned from amateur Open-Source Intelligence or OSINT accounts on X, formerly Twitter. Unsurprisingly, these are completely inaccurate and have led to disastrous strikes on civilians' homes, incorrectly identifying them as “Houthi bases.” One of these accounts is based in Houston, Texas, and another as far away as the Netherlands.8. According to a new World Bank report, Mexico reduced poverty more than any other Latin American country between 2018 and 2023. Not coincidentally, this lines up almost perfectly with the AMLO years in Mexico, which saw a massive increase in the Mexican minimum wage along with other social rights and protections. These policies are now being taken forward by AMLO's successor Claudia Sheinbaum, whose popularity has now surpassed even that of her predecessor, per Bloomberg.9. In Australia, Virginia Giuffre – the most outspoken accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell – has passed away at the age of 41, the BBC reports. Police concluded that Ms. Giuffre died by suicide and her family released a statement indicating that the “toll of abuse... became unbearable.” Yet, her death was preceded by a bizarre chain of events. On March 31st, the BBC reported that Ms. Giuffre's car collided with a school bus, sending her into renal failure with her doctors saying she had “four days to live.” The Miami Herald also reported “At the time of her death, Giuffre had been in a contentious divorce and child custody battle with her husband, Robert.” The family's statement continued “The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; [but] early indication is the death is not suspicious.” One can only hope more details come to light.10. Finally, in a different kind of bizarre story, embattled incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams – who has already given up on the Democratic primary and was running for reelection as an independent – will now appear on two new ballot lines “EndAntiSemitism” and “Safe&Affordable,” POLITICO reports. Adams has gone to great lengths to cultivate and maintain his support in the Orthodox Jewish community in New York and is seeking to highlight his strengths and undercut former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Apparently, Adams only needs to secure 3,750 signatures from voters by May 27 for each of these ballot lines, a shockingly low threshold for the largest city in America. These ballot lines will appear without spaces, coming in just under the wire for the city's 15-character limit on ballot lines.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In a press release published by the agency on Apr. 24, the Federal Reserve said it will no longer require state member banks to give advance notice before launching or participating in crypto-related activities. Instead, these activities will now be reviewed under the usual bank supervision process. This move marks a shift from the Fed's earlier stance, which called for extra caution due to potential risks tied to digital assets. The Fed also canceled its 2023 guidance that limited how banks could engage with stablecoins, or “dollar tokens.” In addition, the Fed, alongside the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, withdrew from two joint statements made the same year. This policy change follows a wider shift in Washington. In January, the Securities and Exchange Commission rolled back a rule that had forced banks holding crypto to list it as a liability, easing pressure on institutions. The Fed's latest move comes as the Trump administration continues to position itself as pro-crypto.
