Trump's IRS chief finally said IRS Direct File is "gone." Intuit lobbied hard against free federal filing for years.
Here's Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi defending that record in a Decoder interview last year. Intuit later asked us to cut this part. We refused.

This was not as good a CPI report as the administration is spinning it. Core YoY 2.9%; Headline +0.3% to 2.7%. Core goods ex-autos +0.55%, most since 2021.
Also up significantly: appliances, toys, electronics. Tariffs starting to show up in the data.

The Senate took Trump's tax plan and made it appear nearly 90% cheaper.
Republicans changed how its cost was calculated in a way that would omit the estimated $4.2 trillion the plan would add to the national debt.

Senate excludes trillions in debt to make Trump’s tax bill seem cheaper
Traditional estimates say that Trump’s tax package will add about $4 trillion to the national debt. Senate Republicans have slashed that number by changing the way Congress does its accounting.
