More pay for play. They're not even bothering to hide the corruption.
TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The evil genius of crypto is that it creates fake ‘money’ that trades for real value. Keep the scam running and you can swallow the world.
That is the endgame.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.

🚨TESTIMONY OF THE YEAR: A Texas voter just torched Donald Trump and Greg Abbott during a redistricting hearing - and it was BRUTAL:
“He cheated on the golf course…
He cheated on his taxes…
He cheated on his wives…
He cheated on democracy…”
But then came the mic drop 👇

The yearly pay at the federal minimum wage:

The average yearly cost of a 1 bedroom apartment in the United States:
$17,340
We need living wages and lower housing costs. This is not sustainable.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
