Of note: they tell you how much it costs for the government to run the free filing system, but they don’t tell you how much it would cost to have a private corporation do it. (Hint: it would cost taxpayers more to have a private corporation do it.)
Treasury is required to produce a report to Congress related to Direct File, the free tax filing option that the current administration intends to kill. They've created a survey with a bunch of leading questions. The survey deserves some responses supportive of the program to counteract its framing:
IRS asks for public input on free tax filing options to inform congressional report | Internal Revenue Service
IR-2025-85, Aug. 21, 2025 — The IRS invites the public to participate in an anonymous feedback survey on tax preparation and filing options, which will run through Sept. 5, 2025.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

It's insane to read about a president threatening another country's leader over whether they can continue to live or not, threatening their capital city of 10 million to evacuate, then pulling his trademark "just kidding, we'll give it two weeks". This individual should be nowhere near the nuclear

60 plus years I’ve met 5 presidents. This man, who I never had the privilege to meet was my favorite. A true gentleman and leader. Did I always agree with him? No. But that’s the beauty of this country. We can disagree and still support each other. Thank you sir.

First hollyhock blooms of summer 🌸
We companion plant our hollyhocks with black raspberry bushes because they give a pop of color after the berries finish in June, and each is immune to the type of rust that affects the other.
Host-specific fungus is weird 🍄🟫
