ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland lawmakers are moving forward with a first-in-the-nation tax on internet ads for big tech companies like Facebook and Google to help pay for a comprehensive and costly measure to improve K-12 education.

The Maryland General Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats, overrode Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of legislation for the tax Friday. Lawmakers also voted to override Hogan’s veto of the separate education bill, a measure which is projected to cost billions of dollars over the next decade.

Sen. James Rosapepe, a Democrat, said the measure aims to modernize the state’s tax system and make thriving big tech companies pay their fair share.

The list includes Hollywood types, hedge fund managers, alleged fraudsters, and Mitt Romney’s life-long firm, Bain Capital.

The list also includes Michael Moritz, a Partner at the venture capital firm Sequoia, who donated a sizable sum in three donations in May, June, and July of 2020: one worth $50,000 and two worth $25,000.

SOHR sources from Al-Hasakah countryside say that U.S. forces have redeployed today, east of Hasaka, as they emptied their posts in the silos of Tal Allou in the area of Al-Yarabiya, and moved to the military base they established months ago, as part of the continuous movements of the Americans in the north-eastern region of Syria.

On July 2, 2020, Syrian Observatory sources reported that U.S. forces turned an agricultural airport in the Al-Yarabiya countryside (Tal Cojar), east of Hasakeh, into a military base and established a helicopter and cargo aircraft airstrip.

The new base was also fortified with concrete blocks and soil barriers.

On February 8, SOHR activists reported seeing a new International Coalition convoy entering Syrian territory via Al-Walid border crossing with the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, consisting of 45 military vehicles and trucks, including military and logistical equipment. The convoy headed to al-Qamishli and then to the bases of the International Coalition in countryside of Hasakeh and Deir ez-Zor.

It is worth noting that this is the tenth Coalition convoy to enter Syria since the beginning of 2021.
