Make Me Smart

SOS at the IRS


Listen Later

President Trump will replace Billy Long as the head of the Internal Revenue Service, less than two months since he was confirmed. This comes after months of turmoil at the IRS. We’ll explain. And, did you know could opt out of facial recognition software when going through airport security? Plus, we’ll weigh in on Instagram’s new map feature and more during a round of Half Full/Half Empty! 


Here’s everything we talked about today:


  • "Trump Is Removing Billy Long as the I.R.S. Head 2 Months After He Was Confirmed" from The New York Times
  • "The Comply To Fly?" from The Algorithmic Justice League
  • "This wedding season, some couples are using their registries to give back" from Marketplace
  • "Should buy now, pay later factor into credit scores?" from Marketplace
  • "The New York Post is launching a California edition. Why?" from The Washington Post 
  • "Instagram Map lets your friends, and possibly exes, track your every move'" from The Washington Post


    Tell us about your experience with TSA’s facial recognition system. Leave us a voicemail at 508-U-B-SMART or email us at [email protected].
