The IRS Direct File program is very popular with the American people. It is not, however, popular with companies that file your taxes for a fee.

So I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Marsha Blackburn sided with H&R Block over the American people after taking money from H&R Block's PAC.

We are at the point in this process where federal officials need to stop following orders. It takes courage that most won't have, but the alternative is "just following orders."

History is happening right now and everyone will have to choose a side.
Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months.

And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.
Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.

Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

Call me old fashioned, but I believe that stealing classified documents, encouraging espionage, inciting an armed insurrection, and being a convicted felon and rapist should disqualify any person from trying to be President of the United States.
