Despite fears, data centers are providing benefits now, and compounding economic benefits to communities later.
For residents of Hazle Township, who have been offered $10,000 checks from the developer of Project Hazelnut, this could alleviate affordability concerns in the short term, provide an emergency fund, or jumpstart a college fund.

If banning diesel exports makes a lick of sense, politicians should demonstrate the courage of their convictions and ban all trade. Starting with diesel and food exports, including 678,000 tons of potatoes.ntu.org/publications/detail/…

Developer builds on its land. The township collects taxes. Neighbors get $10,000 checks.
Forgive me for failing to see the villain.
Great column from my @NTU colleague Debbie Jennings!

Diesel prices are surging — and the pain doesn’t stop at the pump.
Higher diesel costs can ripple through trucking, farming, shipping and ultimately what Americans pay at the store.
As Washington debates restricting U.S. diesel exports, @NTU's Thomas Aiello warns that could backfire and push prices even higher.

This November, Iowans will be asked to vote on a simple constitutional amendment on whether the legislature should obtain a two-thirds majority in both houses to increase income taxes.
By embedding that principle in the Constitution, Iowa can provide lasting protection for taxpayers and reinforce a simple but essential truth: the money belongs to the people first, not the government.

A diesel export ban would interfere with the market precisely when energy markets are under extraordinary stress.
Diesel is a globally-traded commodity, and its price is ultimately determined by market forces—not government mandates.

While an export ban might produce a short-lived decline in prices in some parts of the country, those effects would not be felt uniformly. Some regions could actually see an immediate and sharp increase in price, potentially muting a decline in the national average in diesel prices.

The Paramount-Warner merger had plenty of drama but the good guys won and movie-goers are the real winners. 🍿
Breaking: Paramount has reached a settlement with a group of states that clears the way for its Warner merger. It won’t have to sell cable channels as part of the deal. on.wsj.com/4AEp9WG

Brandon Arnold, executive vice president of NTU, told The Advocates that the bill “would be the most consequential IRS reform package since the mid-’90s.”

Great piece from our friends at @PelicanInst on why a diesel export ban isn't the solution to rising prices.
The honest fix for high diesel prices isn’t a ban, it’s more supply. That means permitting reform, pipeline capacity, and policies that let American refiners run flat-out instead of policies that force them to throttle back.

Americans cannot afford a diesel export ban because it will interfere with the economy precisely when energy markets are under extraordinary stress.
Soaring diesel prices spur export ban calls from Republican lawmakers ft.trib.al/tkLDXfX

The Trump Administration should be applauded for unleashing American energy dominance. An export ban will actively harm that dominance.

Treasury Secretary @SecScottBessent is right that Direct File was underused and overly expensive. It's dead and shouldn't be resurrected as part of America.gov.

The IRS should do a better job promoting the Free File program, which already gives taxpayers access to free tax prep services.
Any other tax filing program development should engage with taxpayers and tax preparers and be honest about costs.
