This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.
The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

I spoke with emergency medicine physician Dr. Dara Kass about the Republicans’ health care cuts and why we need to extend the ACA tax credits. It’s an economics issue. It’s a jobs issue. It’s a cost issue. For many, it’s an issue of life and death.

A driver intentionally drove their car up on the curb to hit a protester in Ohio yesterday.
This is the protester’s reaction, broken leg and all.

everything starts to make a lot more sense when you recognize that trump isn't running a government, he's looting it while producing a television show where he plays the president
I know a little something about military spending. I'd be shocked if this stunt didn't cost the taxpayer millions of dollars.
So much for "government efficiency."

I think his delivery is odd… but it works, and I was skeptical at the comparison… but it works as analogy.

Why we dropped NYT subscription in our household. (Well, the initial reason was their pro-DJT coverage on him late last year. But not going back with their continued normalizing… any of this.)

Not while the yellow-crested orange sh!t-gibbon and his minions (and handlers) are running the government, won’t be anything done about Homan bribery/corruption.
It’s been 10 days since we learned Tom Homan was caught on tape taking a $50,000 cash bribe from an undercover FBI agent.
Is anyone in Washington going to do a damn thing about it, or are we just accepting this level of corruption in our government?

I’m sorry, was it the DEMOCRATS who defunded Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to give tax breaks to billionaires
Nope-that was Trump
With votes from MAGA Senators like Roger Marshall
Now hundreds of rural hospitals will probably have to close
And only the Democrats are trying to stop this

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

Destroying government records is illegal and the people doing it should face grievous consequences. The attorneys overseeing it should be disbarred.
The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts.
Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

At least 19 states, all of whom with Democratic attorneys general, presented “undisputed evidence” they were not receiving FEMA funds already appropriated by Congress.

It gets worse: The order found that the administration was covertly withholding millions in FEMA funds from blue states.
