Under Biden, the IRS launched a program for people to file their taxes FOR FREE (finally!)
Well, Trump ended it because TurboTax donated $1 million to him. This White House is just one big grift while the rest of us pay more for everything.

The Department of Defense is delaying cleanups of forever chemicals at nearly 140 military sites – in some cases, by more than a decade.
Meanwhile, the PFAS industry has spent over $70 million lobbying the Trump administration in just the first half of 2025.

Fantastic article, well worth your attention.
When @wired asked me to look at Silicon Valley in the age of Trump, I saw the crash of the idealism that originally drew founders--and me--to the tech revolution. Selling out the dream will not serve those moguls (or us) well. www.wired.com/story/silico...
I Thought I Knew Silicon Valley. I Was Wrong
Tech got what it wanted by electing Trump. A year later, it looks more like a suicide pact.

Homan accepted the $$ in CASH "after indicating he could help the agents—who were posing as business execs—win gov't contracts in a second Trump administration."
This level of corruption makes it absolutely unfathomable that these thugs could ever relinquish power.
It's a tsunami of criminality.

🚨BREAKING: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar,accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration.
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
