Government
No, senators do not have to talk to filibuster a bill
The Senate made a change in the 1970s so filibusters wouldn’t stop the Senate from working on other bills – but that also made the “silent filibuster” possible.
Taxes

If you worked from home in 2021 and set up a home office, you may not be eligible to write it off on your taxes if you receive a W-2 tax form from your employer.

If a person steals property or makes money from illegal activities, the IRS requires taxpayers to report that on their income tax return.
