A right-wing think tank is now a church in the eyes of the IRS. It’s part of a growing movement of activist groups that are seeking church status.

And it’s all perfectly legal. Here’s how 👇
The Family Research Council, or FRC, is an evangelical activist group that opposes:
-abortion
-stem-cell research
-gender affirming care
-LGBTQ rights

And now that the IRS has blessed it as an “association of churches,” the FRC can better shield itself from financial scrutiny.
As a church, the FRC is no longer required to file a public tax return (Form 990).

These documents reveal key staffer salaries, the names of board members, large payments to independent contractors and grants made by the organization.

There are many reasons for inflation, but here’s one that’s truly bananas.

Ocean carriers are taking advantage of the supply chain crisis by charging *billions of dollars* in extra fees 👇
Picture this: A company called One Banana loads 600,000 pounds of bananas onto ships headed to the Port of Long Beach in CA. Image
Usually, those bananas are offloaded for trucking, and the fruit is sent to supermarkets across the country.

But not today.

Today, thanks to the global supply chain crisis, none of the usual trucking companies One Banana works with are willing to pick up the containers... Image

So @ProPublica and @ThePressOfAC went to work. (THREAD)

The bill gave the casinos $55 million in tax relief
