If you don’t at least find the Trump taxes story *interesting*—if your default response is a casual “no one cares” or a strained “AvOiDanCe IsN’T EvaSioN!”—I am kind of curious what would you *would* find interesting.
I don’t think this is going to have 1/1000 of the impact on the election the SCOTUS fight will have. I don’t really care if it changes a single vote. (It probably won’t!) But an in-depth look into the taxes of a fabulously wealthy celebrity is kind of by-definition “interesting.”

::SCOTUS fails to stop premature end of vote counting in Wisconsin due to 4-4 split, sending 269-269 EC split to House::
::House delegations split 25-25::
::2020 spikes football right in all of our stupid faces::

Anyway. I’d be curious to know how accurate the numbers in this piece are. They’re based on a fair number of suppositions.
I’m not alone in being … shall we say, slightly skeptical about this data.
