My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Make democracy work for the people:

✅ Ban stock trading for Members of Congress

✅ Ironclad ethics laws for the Supreme Court

✅ Stronger enforcement and penalties for breaking anti corruption laws

✅ Get dark money out of elections

✅ Protect access to voting

✅ End the gerrymandering wars

While Americans go hungry, President Donald Trump was partying it up.

The president spent Friday night hosting a Great Gatsby–themed Halloween celebration at Mar-a-Lago, just hours before tens of millions of low-income Americans were set to lose access to food stamps.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Tom Homan took a $50k bribe. Trump killed the investigation. Vance shrugged it off as business as usual.

Polls show corruption is THE issue voters care about. The electoral opportunity for Dems to become the anti-corruption party is massive. But first, they must clean their own house to gain trust.
The Democrats' Path Forward: Become the Anti-Corruption Party
But to reform the system they first need to reform the Democratic Party.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. 

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. 

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

One day to go:

Vote FOR Susan Crawford for Supreme Court.

Vote “NO” on the Constitutional amendment. It’s unnecessary - Wisconsin already has a very strict voter ID.
