Trevor Noah, host of the 68th Grammy Awards, found fodder in President Trump’s pursuit of Greenland and his alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein. According to President Trump, the 68th Grammy Awards on Sunday were “virtually unwatchable.” Still, he watched enough to take issue with comedian Trevor Noah’s latest turn as the ceremony’s host. “Which makes sense, I mean, because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out on with Bill Clinton,” Noah added. “Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island.

But experts don’t agree on how it’s shaped, or whether the current top federal income tax rate of 37 percent is near its apex. That’s true for the federal income tax on its own, and it’s even more true when factoring in state and local taxes. A top tax rate of 54 percent takes 1 percent off long-run GDP, and 67 percent takes off 2 percent. Additionally, the U.S. has greatly expanded refundable tax credits for poorer people, such that the federal income tax burden for roughly the bottom half of earners is negligible. Other rich countries have much less progressive tax systems, not because they tax the rich less, but because they tax the middle class more.

The unusual warrant authorized agents to seize all physical ballots from the 2020 election, voting machine tabulator tapes, images produced during the ballot count and voter rolls from that year. Days before the search, Trump claimed in a speech at the Davos World Economic Forum that the 2020 election was rigged. “Remember, the states are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes,” Trump wrote then.
