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.

Listen up for an #altCitizen #altPride history lesson about Brent Nicholson Earle (b.1951).
In the early AIDS years, long before the internets, before cell phones, before most of you were born, Earle did larger than life things you never heard of to raise awareness and #Pride. #1

Man won a narrow plurality of the vote, and immediately and very predictably started plummeting, and so many people and institutions who had no real need to go that far, even on the most cynical and cowardly of self-serving rationales, decided to chain themselves to the deck of a sinking ship.
we gotta keep hammering over and over again just how fucking unpopular this guy is with every institution and every person in a position of power

In fact, access to commissaries - and the lower cost food that it can provide, because IT IS THE GOVERNMENT AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO MAKE A PROFIT OR TAX ITSELF IT JUST WANTS YOU TO BE FED - is a prized thing.

Re Zohran’s grocery store plans- the government already runs discount grocery stores ALL OVER THE WORLD.
They are called commissaries and they are on every US military base.
No one has ever had a problem with their existence

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

And then Booker pivoted to talking about John Lewis.

Remember, the temporal paradox will return tonight. You may notice anomalies, such as missing time or strange behavior from your pets. You will likely feel tired for the first few days after passing through the temporal displacement field. This is normal for time travel.

One thing I am puzzled about is AARP’s weak response to this. In addition to your reps, I’d suggest registering your displeasure with AARP. They have the capacity to mobilize millions of older adults to prevent this. It’s why they’re there! www.aarp.org/social-secur...

We’ve got a friend in Wisconsin who said she wasn’t worried about potential cuts to Medicaid because she and her 3 kids don’t need it - they’re on BadgerCare. She was stunned when I told her they were all on Medicaid.

Why haven't we seen more backlash against the GOP's proposed cuts to Medicaid? One reason is that people may not know they're on Medicaid, because Medicaid has different names in different states (see 🧵). Another is that some people may not realize that they (or their kids) could qualify.
Many Medicaid recipients do not know they receive it because Medicaid is called different things in different states. The public narrative of Medicaid focuses on a distant other, but 40% of US children and 60% of nursing home residents receive Medicaid. Just SOME of the names by state are below:
