Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

I’ve interviewed a lot of victims stayed in an abusive relationship because they worried their loved ones would judge them for not leaving sooner. They needed support and they knew they would get ridicule instead.

And that’s something I’m thinking about a lot in this political environment.

Hey, your "nothing's going to happen" reply has been seen and *deeply* deeply appreciated.

If you'd like to go sit in the corner with your depressing doomerism while the rest of us try to make something happen, that'd be terrific.

No, no, a little farther away. Keep going.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.

Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Facts:

Elon Musk is not in the cabinet.
Elon Musk is not a department head.
Elon Musk was not confirmed by the Senate.

“DOGE” is not a real department.
“DOGE” was never created by Congress.
“DOGE” is acting outside all legal authority.

“DOGE” is fake — and 100% CORRUPT.

The Department of Education’s RIF’ed lawyers are collecting their personal belongings Monday 12-1pm, at 500 12th street SW — not the main building. Let's steer some folks their way for a clap out. Right now they’re assuming no one will show up for them and planning to make their own signs 😢
