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.

Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.
Just everything.

Effect of tariffs I've seen
— Higher clothing prices overall
— Overseas sellers covering tariff costs, but passing cost to the consumer
— US stores dropping brands. Example: No Man Walks Alone won't be carrying Norbit this fall bc tariff uncertainty
— Fewer deals. Ebay shuts down overseas sellers

I may be too much of an optimist but I am so happy every time I see dems overperforming (v 2024) in these Iowa special elections. It gives me real hope that we can turn the ship around in Iowa and nationally.
DREY BREAKS SUPERMAJORITY - Democrat Catelin Drey wins special election for Sioux City seat in Iowa Senate. That puts the Iowa Senate’s split is 33-17.
Tonight, Republicans lost their supermajority in the Iowa Senate.
