A woman came in today and literally begged me to get her surgery done before the end of the year because she’s facing an insurance premium that’s tripleing in just a few weeks and she won’t be able to afford her insurance, nor her surgery, after January 1st. Thanks Republicans.

It's amazing how much clarity the New York Times has about Viktor Orban and his crackdown on LGBTQ people. If only they had it for Trump and the US. It's the exact same political strategy!

The report maintains a veneer of inquiry, but its structure and many of its claims closely mirror those of a document produced under RFK Jr.'s leadership at another organization.

It costs on avg $220 to file taxes in the US.
The IRS could generate $3b a year by simply creating its own tax return portal and charging $25
So why don’t they do it?
Because TurboTax (Intuit) spends $4m/yr legally bribing US law makers, to make sure that never happens
