We define a new version of the exterior derivative on the basic forms of a
Riemannian foliation to obtain a new form of basic cohomology that satisfies
Poincar\'e duality in the transversally orientable case. We use this twisted
basic cohomology to show relationships between curvature, tautness, and
vanishing of the basic Euler characteristic and basic signature.
