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?

Goodnight friends. Get some rest.

Proud of @booker.senate.gov for breaking the record for longest time holding the Senate floor. Today you’ve lifted up all Americans injured by MAGA’s billionaire crusade against voting rights, Social Security, Medicaid and health care. Keep walking, keep talking, keep fighting.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…

There would be bipartisan calls for investigations

Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion

Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day

Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
