The IRS Clock Keeps Ticking Despite Staff Shortages and Backlogs
Opinion: As IRS operations continue to recover from the shutdown, taxpayers should stay vigilant to track any pending matters to protect against expiring deadlines and potential errors.

If it is not distributed as a Housing Allowance as approved by Congress, and Trump distributes it as a check to military personnel, they will need to declare $1,776 as income when filing taxes.

Trump rebrands Congressionally-approved troop housing subsidy as ‘warrior dividend’ bonus
More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

Surprise! It’s another scam!
Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

This regime is bulldozing everything democratic, including the entertainment industry. In a few years, we won't see/hear anything factual coming from any media source. Facts will only be shared by courageous underground organizations. Flip the house&senate, vote blue up/down the ticket in 2026.

It was definitely the brain.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

We can both be horrified by this killing and honest about the killer… please Mr President… why not see why the suspect was given asylum by your administration . Why not figure out why this brutal attack was committed
MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.
The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

So much BS coming from all directions of the Trump Administration ... from Trump himself, JD Vance, Hegseth, Pirro, Bondi, Patel and everyone else who is loyal to this fascist regime. The propaganda/misinformation is everywhere. There needs to be pushback at every turn ... this needs to stop.
Alternate take if you are not a Trump toady like Judge Winebox: Performative militarization of a relatively safe city — extremely so around the White House — puts lives unnecessarily at risk. This avoidable tragedy all falls on the administration.
Pirro: "These Guardsmen and all who are here to protect the District are the line that separates a civilized society from a barbaric one."
