My letter to one of our reps: Your first paragraph is so full of lies and you’re an accomplice to the misery being caused to our Missouri neighbors who are most in need. 11% of Missourians - most with children- receive snap benefits. 34% are older; 38% are from working families. 1/2

When you know what you’re talking about and you use “boon” appropriately. #ItsNotBoom
Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.
Reverse Robin Hood.

GOOD: Arizona prosecutors say Trump's federal "pardons" of Rudy Giuliani and others fake-elector schemers will NOT affect their prosecutions AT ALL. 👏 Trump can't pardon people in state cases. Prosecutors are moving forward. Let's Go!!!

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

The Occupant of the White House, aka Scrooge McTrump, is trying to channel the world’s worst.
Just in the last 48 hours: Trump lifts sanctions on Syria after offer of a Trump Tower in Damascus, praises MBS, salutes Saudi generals, and defends a Qatari jet gift—while banning press from Air Force One. GOP splits over drugs, jets, SALT, and Social Security.

Embarrassing that the Democrats - who just overwhelmingly won the elections last week - are caving to MAGA who are taking away health care, SNAP, etc. etc. etc. Shumer can pound sand.
If this is true, then Democrats will get screwed over.
If you are voting for this, based on a promise from the party who has broken pretty much every promise to date, then you deserve to be voted out.
I have my doubts though that this is true.

Trump cut the free tax filing for 300K Americans-gross income <$84K. The program cost $41M; that's $136/user. Trump's 2025 golf has cost us $151M; $4K per round. I'm thinking providing a great service to Americans versus this arses golf addiction makes more sense.

IRS Kills Off Popular Free Direct File Option For The 2026 Tax Filing Season
While the IRS hasn’t officially confirmed that the program is dead, the website indicates that the program is closed—and states have been notified that it will not be in place for 2026.

If a program doesn't help billionaires, it's axed.
A multi billion dollar giveaway to Turbotax and other big Trump donors.
The I.R.S. is shutting down its free online system for filing tax returns, a program that the Biden administration introduced last year and that users gave high marks.
