Took a deep dive into how the Cuellars have used their power in South Texas. We found one sibling was a judge who heard no cases, and much more.

EXCLUSIVE--See my examination of @IRS_CI’s efforts to fire special agent Brian Visalli, lead criminal agent on 2 investigations of wealthy Americans offshoring their income and assets. Visalli believes it's retaliation for whistle blowing on the agency. https://t.co/mcgXT3vZ9z

California regulators have selected over 1,200 lobbyists & clients since 2019 for audits under a state ethics law

Audits completed by the end of last year: 5

@caseyrmurray and I investigated how a Watergate-era system to boost oversight of $ in state politics has broken down...

[Casey Murray @caseyrmurray]

The CA agency tasked with auditing lobbyists has completed less than 1% of them in recent years. Firms that were supposed to be audited include one possibly implicated in the alleged money laundering scandal with Newsom's aide.

I spent the last 2 weeks reading through 28,000+ messages in a Miami young Republican group chat

FIU College Republicans recruitment chair: “This isnt even my worst one 😔”

FIU Turning Point USA prez: “Yeah I’m in a few on telegram that are definitely worse lmao”

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat

Logs show violent calls to kill Black people, more than 400 uses of n-word, regularly describing women as “whores," using slurs to talk about Jewish & gay people and musings about Hitler.

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students

Within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people" https://t.co/ZZhPSI7RDE

[Bloomberg Tax @tax]

The political battle around the Los Angeles “mansion tax” is coming to a head, as California groups watch whether an aggressive tax-limiting initiative qualifies for the November ballot. https://t.co/SrrP7BMQ2P

The amount of money that car-buying California residents send to the federal government could be reduced under new legislation that would reclassify the state’s vehicle sales tax. https://t.co/ymr101lXPd

[Casey Murray @caseyrmurray]

First look at a new bill that tries to chip away at the amount in taxes Californians send to the federal government 👇The bill would change how car fees factor into SALT deductions https://t.co/lQvdLE8ItD

[Casey Murray @caseyrmurray]

LA's mansion tax could face its final challenge soon, in the form of a ballot measure that would invalidate it, along with dozens of local tax measures across the state.

California is exploring ways to punish companies who work with immigration enforcement — including by raising their taxes.

More info on Martin Cuellar's indictment. Henry Cuellar was pardoned by Trump late last year for his alleged role in a bribery scheme.

[Casey Murray @caseyrmurray]

U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar's brother, Webb County Sherriff Martin Cuellar, has been indicted for allegedly defrauding the sheriff’s office during the pandemic, something that came up in my 2024 investigation with @ByronTau into the powerful family

California’s proposed budget for the next fiscal year avoids broad-based tax increases in response to budget shortfalls, though it does seek to add revenue with new requirements on delivery companies like DoorDash and Uber Eats. https://t.co/ff6PJbF0By

[Casey Murray @caseyrmurray]

It's early in the California legislative session, but the main vehicle for getting an ad tax done on social media companies has already died.

[Casey Murray @caseyrmurray]

All the tax policy in Gov. Newsom's new proposed budget 👇 He largely left the current system intact, except for one change that would increase tax revenue from companies like DoorDash

[Casey Murray @caseyrmurray]

California lawmakers won't attempt to change LA's controversial "mansion tax" this year, after saying they would.

[Casey Murray @caseyrmurray]

It's a great day to read my investigation, not about the alleged bribery scheme in the pardon, but a lot of other stuff! (like Rep. Cuellar's brother allegedly forcing his employees to campaign for him).

[Rep. Henry Cuellar @RepCuellar]

I want to thank President Trump for his tremendous leadership and for taking the time to look at the facts. I thank God for standing with my family and I during this difficult time. This decision clears the air and lets us move forward for South Texas.

This pardon gives us a clean slate. The noise is gone. The work remains. And I intend to meet it head on.

Thank you Mr. President, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
