Biden left Trump the economy that was the ‘Envy of the World’, not just according the ‘The Economist’, but according to the numbers. If Trump had just left it alone he would have looked like a hero to MAGA. But no, tariffs, DOGE, ICE, and just overall destruction.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.
