Driving the news: Ocasio Cortez's years-long campaign manager and senior adviser Oliver Hidalgo-Wohlleben is departing in September, two people familiar with the matter told Axios. - Fiorella Bini, a longtime aide to AOC, took over as interim campaign manager this month. - Aya Saed, Ocasio-Cortez's former legislative director, returned to her operation this spring as a deputy chief of…

The Department of Justice filed lawsuits on Monday against New York, Connecticut , and Vermont , challenging state laws which grant in-state tuition and financial assistance to illegal aliens. These federal actions arrive amid growing concerns over the civil rights of American citizens, who are denied the same reduced rates and scholarships simply for being born in the U.S.A. The suits further charge that the state laws create clear incentives and preferential treatment for illegal immigration, placing illegal aliens ahead of American citizens in direct conflict with federal law (8 U.S.C. § 1623). The Department of Justice’s New York complaint cites average tuition and fees of $8,316 for in-state students versus $18,613 for those…Open

The gap between federal relief and state-level […] The post Democrat-led states still tax tips, overtime, and Social Security a year after Trump signed relief into law appeared first on American Almanac .
A year after President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" eliminated federal taxes on tips, overtime, and part of Social Security income, more than 30 Democrat-led states are refusing to follow suit, leaving millions of workers and retirees with higher tax bills than their neighbors in states that conformed. The gap between federal relief and state-level holdouts is now stark enough to measure in dollars. A server in Idaho who earns $25,000 a year in tips keeps an extra $1,325 because the state matched the federal exemption. A server earning the same tips in Minnesota hands roughly $1,700 of that income to the state, taxed at a 6.8% rate the legislature never bothered to adjust. Same job. Same hours. Different state capitol, different…Open
