The fate of America’s tax-cutting obsession rests in the balance in Washington — and our Tax Revolt miniseries lays bare the stakes of what could happen next. No wonder everyone’s talking about what we uncovered.

As we explored in Tax Revolt, the decades-long antitax movement set the stage for President Donald Trump’s hostile takeover of the GOP. But now, as Trump proposes raising taxes on the wealthy as part of his “big beautiful” tax bill, the players and strategies we detailed in Tax Revolt face an existential crisis: Will Republicans once again bend their will to tax-cutting acolytes? Or could Trump, of all people, be the one to stop the tax revolt?
Our reporting on the matter has garnered national attention. This week, Senior Podcast Producer Arjun Singh appeared on Chris Hayes’s podcast Why Is This Happening? as well as Democracy Now! and other major outlets to discuss how Tax Revolt explains this pivotal moment and hints at what’s to come.
