Millions of Taxpayers’ Data Given to Google, Meta: Lawmakers: TaxAct, H&R Block and TaxSlayer “recklessly” shared info including names, addresses, and incomes, a report alleges. They say some of that data was then used by Meta to create targeted advertising to its own users, other companies, and to train Meta’s algorithms. The Democrats’ report urges federal agencies to investigate and potentially go to court over the wealth of information that H&R Block, TaxAct and TaxSlayer shared with the social media giant.

Louisiana Republicans are preparing to use the Supreme Court’s decision overturning affirmative action in college education to argue for a total gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Within hours of a U.S. Supreme Court decision dismantling a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, Texas lawmakers announced plans to implement a strict voter ID law that had been blocked by a federal court. Lawmakers in Alabama said they would press forward with a similar law that had been on hold.

Leniency for crimes against children is California’s ugliest trait: It’s not often that you hear crying in a legislative chamber, but what happened in California’s state capitol yesterday certainly made it excusable. Human trafficking victims reportedly sobbed after watching the California Assembly’s Public Safety Committee block a bill that would make the trafficking of children a “serious felony.” All six Democrats and one Republican on the committee voted against it, putting it up for “reconsideration” next year, while two Republicans supported it.
