Charlie Kirk was a horrible bigot who spewed dangerous conspiracy theories and misled many young people. He marched for Trump’s authoritarian agenda. None of this justifies violence or murder. Political violence only escalates and makes us less safe.

Of note: they tell you how much it costs for the government to run the free filing system, but they don’t tell you how much it would cost to have a private corporation do it. (Hint: it would cost taxpayers more to have a private corporation do it.)
Treasury is required to produce a report to Congress related to Direct File, the free tax filing option that the current administration intends to kill. They've created a survey with a bunch of leading questions. The survey deserves some responses supportive of the program to counteract its framing:
IRS asks for public input on free tax filing options to inform congressional report | Internal Revenue Service
IR-2025-85, Aug. 21, 2025 — The IRS invites the public to participate in an anonymous feedback survey on tax preparation and filing options, which will run through Sept. 5, 2025.
