Republicans want to take advantage of complicated Senate budget rules, known as reconciliation, that would allow them to pass the tax bill with 51 votes rather than the 60 needed for most other legislation. That would allow the 52 Senate Republicans to pass the bill without the help of any Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those same budget rules require that the tax overhaul not add to the deficit after 10 years. The Senate bill appeared to violate those regulations as recently as Tuesday morning. Repealing the individual mandate could help ease the fiscal pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, enraged over McConnell's announcement, said adding the individual mandate to the legislation effectively ended any chance for bipartisan agreement on taxes. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, said repealing the mandate would hurt the middle class. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In their desperation to secure an ideological trophy, no matter the consequences,\" Wyden said, \"Republicans are choosing to pay for corporate tax cuts by raising premiums for middle class families and ripping away health care altogether from millions more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a con job on the American people.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

That would allow the 52 Senate Republicans to pass the bill without the help of any Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those same budget rules require that the tax overhaul not add to the deficit after 10 years. The Senate bill appeared to violate those regulations as recently as Tuesday morning. Repealing the individual mandate could help ease the fiscal pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, enraged over McConnell's announcement, said adding the individual mandate to the legislation effectively ended any chance for bipartisan agreement on taxes. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, said repealing the mandate would hurt the middle class. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In their desperation to secure an ideological trophy, no matter the consequences,\" Wyden said, \"Republicans are choosing to pay for corporate tax cuts by raising premiums for middle class families and ripping away health care altogether from millions more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a con job on the American people.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Just like Trump, Cohen likes to tweet. He saw an opportunity to express himself to the president by tweeting to the account \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump\">@realDonaldTrump\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I noticed right away that his Twitter feed was a place that people congregated and exchanged views,\" he says. \"So that was the place to go to express myself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/562619874/562619875\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen has a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/familyunequal\">verified account\u003c/a> on Twitter — that's when you have a following and they confirm you are who you say you are. That means his tweets got to the top of the president's feed. Cohen set up an alert so that he could know when Trump tweeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I replied right away, I could get lucky and have a lot of people read my tweets,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, one day the president blocked him. Cohen was surprised. He says he wasn't trolling the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was basically civil,\" he says. \"I didn't use a lot of profanity. I didn't harass people individually. I mostly made graphical memes with slogans on them like 'corrupt,' 'incompetent,' and 'authoritarian.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen says that once he was blocked, his tweets about the president reached fewer people. So he believes the blocking is censoring his ability to criticize the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Soe6aHxo0WQfSKh4czKkZtb4byshYd0D\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen is now one of the plaintiffs in a groundbreaking lawsuit brought by the \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/\">Knight First Amendment Institute\u003c/a> at Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Fallow, a \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/directory/katie-fallow\">senior attorney\u003c/a> at the institute, says the suit is based on long-standing First Amendment principles, \"where if the government opens up a space or hosts a kind of public forum where they allow the public to speak, they can't exclude someone from that forum based on their views.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Twitter account @realDonaldTrump is the president's personal account. It was created before he became president. But Fallow says the president has used it to make official announcements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like the replacement for the FBI director after he fired James Comey, and the transgender ban,\" as well as a lot of other policy announcements, says Fallow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it isn't just that Trump uses the account to make official announcements. He also uses it to interact with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josh Geltzer, the founding executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.georgetown.edu/academics/centers-institutes/constitutional-advocacy-protection/our-team.cfm\">Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection\u003c/a> at Georgetown University Law Center, says it's like a virtual town hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The institute filed a brief in support of the blocked Twitter users. He says you can exclude people from a town hall for lack of space, but not for their opinions. He points to a \u003ca href=\"https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/virginia/vaedce/1:2016cv00932/348006/132\">recent case in Virginia\u003c/a> where a federal court found the country could not block an individual from an official county Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Geltzer says the case was similar to this one. He says the county was trying to \"shut out voices that weren't obscene or bullying, but voices that simply expressed criticism or unwanted viewpoints.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one from the Justice Department was available in time to speak to NPR. However, in its \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/sites/default/files/content/Knight_v_Trump_WH_opening_brief.pdf\">brief\u003c/a>, the government argues that this is the president's private Twitter account. He's using it just like everyone else. Twitter is a private platform with its own rules. The president has a right to block people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this makes for a novel case in the digital age. If the court finds against the president, it could certainly have implications on how government officials chose to use social media in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Just like Trump, Cohen likes to tweet. He saw an opportunity to express himself to the president by tweeting to the account \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump\">@realDonaldTrump\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I noticed right away that his Twitter feed was a place that people congregated and exchanged views,\" he says. \"So that was the place to go to express myself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/562619874/562619875\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That means his tweets got to the top of the president's feed. Cohen set up an alert so that he could know when Trump tweeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I replied right away, I could get lucky and have a lot of people read my tweets,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, one day the president blocked him. Cohen was surprised. He says he wasn't trolling the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was basically civil,\" he says. \"I didn't use a lot of profanity. I didn't harass people individually. I mostly made graphical memes with slogans on them like 'corrupt,' 'incompetent,' and 'authoritarian.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen says that once he was blocked, his tweets about the president reached fewer people. So he believes the blocking is censoring his ability to criticize the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen is now one of the plaintiffs in a groundbreaking lawsuit brought by the \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/\">Knight First Amendment Institute\u003c/a> at Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Fallow, a \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/directory/katie-fallow\">senior attorney\u003c/a> at the institute, says the suit is based on long-standing First Amendment principles, \"where if the government opens up a space or hosts a kind of public forum where they allow the public to speak, they can't exclude someone from that forum based on their views.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Twitter account @realDonaldTrump is the president's personal account. It was created before he became president. But Fallow says the president has used it to make official announcements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like the replacement for the FBI director after he fired James Comey, and the transgender ban,\" as well as a lot of other policy announcements, says Fallow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it isn't just that Trump uses the account to make official announcements. He also uses it to interact with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josh Geltzer, the founding executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.georgetown.edu/academics/centers-institutes/constitutional-advocacy-protection/our-team.cfm\">Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection\u003c/a> at Georgetown University Law Center, says it's like a virtual town hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The institute filed a brief in support of the blocked Twitter users. He says you can exclude people from a town hall for lack of space, but not for their opinions. He points to a \u003ca href=\"https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/virginia/vaedce/1:2016cv00932/348006/132\">recent case in Virginia\u003c/a> where a federal court found the country could not block an individual from an official county Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Geltzer says the case was similar to this one. He says the county was trying to \"shut out voices that weren't obscene or bullying, but voices that simply expressed criticism or unwanted viewpoints.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one from the Justice Department was available in time to speak to NPR. However, in its \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/sites/default/files/content/Knight_v_Trump_WH_opening_brief.pdf\">brief\u003c/a>, the government argues that this is the president's private Twitter account. He's using it just like everyone else. Twitter is a private platform with its own rules. The president has a right to block people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this makes for a novel case in the digital age. If the court finds against the president, it could certainly have implications on how government officials chose to use social media in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The trove was acquired by \u003ca href=\"http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/paradise-papers-das-paradies-der-reichen-1.3735767\">the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung\u003c/a>, which says the records show how the wealthy and powerful sometimes duck taxes, regulations, sanctions and \"at least their social responsibility.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4XeBz1hYJQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilbur Ross \"was a major client of Appleby,\" the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists says, noting that the law firm administered more than 50 companies and partnerships linked to investments on behalf of his private equity firm, W.L.

But critics of the arrangement note that in addition to Shamalov, another of Sibur's co-owners is Gennady Timchenko, a close Putin ally who is currently under U.S. sanctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the money generated by the deal, Swaine says, \"Navigator's brought in about $68 million in revenue since 2014 from the deal. The contract is worth at least $200 million a year, and it's scheduled to continue for about a decade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to Sibur, the commerce secretary said, \"The fact that it happens to be called a Russian company does not mean that there's any evil in it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to his financial disclosure Form 278 that was filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Ross said, \"Where there is evil is the misstatement that I did not disclose those holdings in my original form.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another high-profile figure named in the papers is \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.cloud.icij.org/stories/queen-elizabeth-ii\">Queen Elizabeth\u003c/a>, who reportedly had around 10 million pounds (some $13 million) of her money offshore, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-41879690\">the BBC says\u003c/a>. The queen's investments included a previously undisclosed stake in a Cayman fund in control of a rent-to-own company called BrightHouse, which, as the \u003cem>Guardian \u003c/em>reports, has been criticized \"for exploiting thousands of poor families and vulnerable people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/05/revealed-queen-private-estate-invested-offshore-paradise-papers\">The Guardian notes\u003c/a> that Elizabeth's estate, the Duchy of Lancaster, says it was unaware of the holding prior to being contacted by news agencies.

Both tech firms and members of President Trump's inner circle have faced scrutiny; the Paradise Papers add to that conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"More recently, Milner invested $850,000 in Cadre, a real estate firm co-founded by Trump's son-in-law and White House adviser, Jared Kushner,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/paradise-papers-exposes-donald-trump-russia-links-and-piggy-banks-of-the-wealthiest-1-percent/\">the ICIJ reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ICIJ adds, \"Milner is a Russian citizen who lives in Silicon Valley.

Nearly all of that was generated over the past decade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Trump Cabinet member, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, is mentioned in the documents as a former director of a Bermuda company named Marib Upstream Services Co., which the ICIJ says was \"created to conduct oil and gas operations\" in Yemen. Tillerson reportedly served on Marib's board for roughly a year, from 1997 to 1998.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"l3oAyMgTe6NyZH6cYbeIEtX7v2L3PVat\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also highlights two Democrats who are not currently in government. \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/stories/penny-pritzker\">Former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker\u003c/a> is said to have transferred shares of two companies into a limited liability corporation that is referred to as being \"owned by trusts that are for the benefit of Penny Pritzker's children,\" the ICIJ says, citing Appleby documents. The move was made just after Pritzker was confirmed; the report says she later filed ethics paperwork in which the holdings were \"simply listed as having been sold.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a shorter entry, former \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.cloud.icij.org/stories/wesley-k-clark\">presidential candidate Wesley Clark\u003c/a> is mentioned for his ties to Amaya, an online gaming company that is now called the Stars Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Paradise Papers are the fruit of a new branch of the work that brought \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/04/472985787/heres-what-you-need-to-know-so-far-about-panama-papers\">the Panama Papers\u003c/a> to light in 2015 and 2016. Those leaked documents caused embarrassment among the elites in several countries, from the U.K. to Ukraine, and resulted in the prime ministers of Iceland and Pakistan leaving office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leaked Appleby records that are at the heart of the Paradise Papers detail more ties to the U.S. than to any other nation, according to the ICIJ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At least 31,000 of the individual and corporate clients included in Appleby's records are U.S. citizens or have U.S. addresses, more than from any other country,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/about/\">the ICIJ said in a statement about the release\u003c/a>. \"Appleby also counted clients from the United Kingdom, China and Canada among its biggest sources of business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/stephen-bronfman-trudeau-paradise-papers-1.4382511\">The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reports\u003c/a> that the names of more than 3,000 Canadian citizens, companies and other entities appear in the Paradise Papers, including three former prime ministers: Brian Mulroney, Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also mentioned is Stephen Bronfman, a key fundraiser for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Noting that Trudeau has mentioned tax fairness as a priority, the CBC says that Bronfman, a Seagram family heir, and his investment company, Claridge Inc., \"were key players linked to a $60 million U.S. offshore trust in the Cayman Islands that may have cost Canadians millions in unpaid taxes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More revelations seem likely to come from the Paradise Papers — so far, we're seeing only a sampling of the documents; the stories that were launched by dozens of collaborating media outlets on Sunday reflect only the highlights of the data. A member of the ICIJ's data team says the group will release \"the full structured data from the Paradise Papers investigation in the coming weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the timeline described in the leaked documents, the ICIJ says the records date back to 1950 and run forward to 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the reports, Appleby released a statement saying in part, \"The journalists do not allege, nor could they, that Appleby has done anything unlawful. There is no wrongdoing. It is a patchwork quilt of unrelated allegations with a clear political agenda and movement against offshore.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law firm added, \"We wish to reiterate that our firm was not the subject of a leak but of a serious criminal act. This was an illegal computer hack.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of offshore accounts and tax havens has been grabbing headlines since it broke on Sunday. But the ICIJ warns against assuming the guilt of anyone mentioned in its reporting.

But critics of the arrangement note that in addition to Shamalov, another of Sibur's co-owners is Gennady Timchenko, a close Putin ally who is currently under U.S. sanctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the money generated by the deal, Swaine says, \"Navigator's brought in about $68 million in revenue since 2014 from the deal. The contract is worth at least $200 million a year, and it's scheduled to continue for about a decade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to Sibur, the commerce secretary said, \"The fact that it happens to be called a Russian company does not mean that there's any evil in it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to his financial disclosure Form 278 that was filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Ross said, \"Where there is evil is the misstatement that I did not disclose those holdings in my original form.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another high-profile figure named in the papers is \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.cloud.icij.org/stories/queen-elizabeth-ii\">Queen Elizabeth\u003c/a>, who reportedly had around 10 million pounds (some $13 million) of her money offshore, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-41879690\">the BBC says\u003c/a>.

Both tech firms and members of President Trump's inner circle have faced scrutiny; the Paradise Papers add to that conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"More recently, Milner invested $850,000 in Cadre, a real estate firm co-founded by Trump's son-in-law and White House adviser, Jared Kushner,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/paradise-papers-exposes-donald-trump-russia-links-and-piggy-banks-of-the-wealthiest-1-percent/\">the ICIJ reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ICIJ adds, \"Milner is a Russian citizen who lives in Silicon Valley.

Nearly all of that was generated over the past decade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Trump Cabinet member, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, is mentioned in the documents as a former director of a Bermuda company named Marib Upstream Services Co., which the ICIJ says was \"created to conduct oil and gas operations\" in Yemen. Tillerson reportedly served on Marib's board for roughly a year, from 1997 to 1998.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also highlights two Democrats who are not currently in government. \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/stories/penny-pritzker\">Former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker\u003c/a> is said to have transferred shares of two companies into a limited liability corporation that is referred to as being \"owned by trusts that are for the benefit of Penny Pritzker's children,\" the ICIJ says, citing Appleby documents. The move was made just after Pritzker was confirmed; the report says she later filed ethics paperwork in which the holdings were \"simply listed as having been sold.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a shorter entry, former \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.cloud.icij.org/stories/wesley-k-clark\">presidential candidate Wesley Clark\u003c/a> is mentioned for his ties to Amaya, an online gaming company that is now called the Stars Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Paradise Papers are the fruit of a new branch of the work that brought \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/04/472985787/heres-what-you-need-to-know-so-far-about-panama-papers\">the Panama Papers\u003c/a> to light in 2015 and 2016. Those leaked documents caused embarrassment among the elites in several countries, from the U.K. to Ukraine, and resulted in the prime ministers of Iceland and Pakistan leaving office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leaked Appleby records that are at the heart of the Paradise Papers detail more ties to the U.S. than to any other nation, according to the ICIJ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At least 31,000 of the individual and corporate clients included in Appleby's records are U.S. citizens or have U.S. addresses, more than from any other country,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/about/\">the ICIJ said in a statement about the release\u003c/a>. \"Appleby also counted clients from the United Kingdom, China and Canada among its biggest sources of business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/stephen-bronfman-trudeau-paradise-papers-1.4382511\">The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reports\u003c/a> that the names of more than 3,000 Canadian citizens, companies and other entities appear in the Paradise Papers, including three former prime ministers: Brian Mulroney, Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also mentioned is Stephen Bronfman, a key fundraiser for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Noting that Trudeau has mentioned tax fairness as a priority, the CBC says that Bronfman, a Seagram family heir, and his investment company, Claridge Inc., \"were key players linked to a $60 million U.S. offshore trust in the Cayman Islands that may have cost Canadians millions in unpaid taxes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More revelations seem likely to come from the Paradise Papers — so far, we're seeing only a sampling of the documents; the stories that were launched by dozens of collaborating media outlets on Sunday reflect only the highlights of the data. A member of the ICIJ's data team says the group will release \"the full structured data from the Paradise Papers investigation in the coming weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the timeline described in the leaked documents, the ICIJ says the records date back to 1950 and run forward to 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the reports, Appleby released a statement saying in part, \"The journalists do not allege, nor could they, that Appleby has done anything unlawful. There is no wrongdoing. It is a patchwork quilt of unrelated allegations with a clear political agenda and movement against offshore.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law firm added, \"We wish to reiterate that our firm was not the subject of a leak but of a serious criminal act. This was an illegal computer hack.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of offshore accounts and tax havens has been grabbing headlines since it broke on Sunday. But the ICIJ warns against assuming the guilt of anyone mentioned in its reporting. Noting that there are \"legitimate uses for offshore companies and trusts,\" the group says, \"we do not intend to suggest or imply that any people, companies or other entities included in the ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database have broken the law or otherwise acted improperly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
