"...far from protecting our rights, we can tragically only count on the current Supreme Court to be among the greatest obstacles to justice in America."
BREAKING: In a shadow docket 6-3 ruling, SCOTUS reinstates Texas' racist gerrymandered maps that disenfranchise Black & brown people.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
