The IRS' Direct File option is dead, though Free File lives on (with limitations)
The Trump administration says the Free File program offered through commercial tax preparation companies is a more effective option.

This is an incredible resource, you can word search it and find out, for example, that Michael Wolff, Epstein, and Steve Bannon emailed each other about the @miamiherald.com getting a @sidneyhillman.bsky.social award for its reporting on Epstein.

Who knew it took the arrival of Luke Kornet to make that happen?

How Luke Kornet – not Victor Wembanyama – turned San Antonio into Lob City
The new backup center's connection with Stephon Castle has produced a multitude of alley-oop dunks for the Spurs

UMass Amherst poll shows Healey would win again if the election were today. It also shows Mike Kennealy leading the Republican contenders for the job.

If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF???
They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

There are some people in Northampton Ward 6 that need to see this.
Some folks said we were too harsh in our episodes on on John Forester and Vehicular Cycling. This amazing video from Not Just Bikes suggests we weren’t harsh enough.
I'm a longtime fan of Not Just Bikes, but his 95(!) minute video on John Forester and Vehicular Cycling is truly his magnum opus.
If you are even remotely interested in the history of bicycling in America, it is worth a watch.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
