BREAKING: Republicans pushing Trump to ELIMINATE the IRS's Direct File program -- which allows you to file your taxes online for FREE

Why would anyone want to get rid of that?

Because giant corporates like H&R Block and Intuit (Turbotax) want to make you PAY MORE TO THEM

Tip for journalists covering the next administration, always include the necessary steps to achieve the administration’s goals so people understand whether it could actually happen. We have a complex system of checks and balances that limit the authority of all lawmakers.

I was thinking about this healthcare issue and I think it deserves a nuanced discussion. Truth is there are decent plans out there but employers need to be willing to take on the costs for their employees. Some employers do and some don’t. Maybe employers could negotiate for better rates?

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Happy Thanksgiving to all, including the radical right wing lunatics who work so hard to destroy our country, but will miserably fail because their ideas are so bad. After they fail, don’t worry, our country will be made strong again, and you will be, more than ever before, proud to be an American!
