Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free.
That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program.
Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
See how this works?
Thank Julia for filing this suit and getting the tool shut down almost immediately 👏🏽👏🏽
A talking filibuster is when you make the OTHER PARTY talk and talk. Republicans are so dumb, they are now planning a filibuster of their own bill! www.politico.com/live-updates...

📽️ NEW: Trump is threatening to bypass Congress entirely to impose voter ID before the 2026 midterms.
Marc Elias breaks down Trump's late-night social media rants, what’s driving this voter suppression push and why he's living in a constitutional delusion👇
Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.
We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.
Here's my bottom line:
Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.
We need reparations for ICE victims.
Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.
Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
He is truly ultra lovable!❤️🔥
I loved this video but had to watch it twice because I could not look away from your magnificent earrings the first time and I missed the full gist.👏🏼❤️🙏🏽
Target can F all the way off. This “boycott” is infinite.
I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
The number of people detained by ICE rose by an astonishing 58% (25,200) between 2025 and 2026; expanded immigration detention accounts for virtually all of the growth in mass incarceration since our last report. www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2...
Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”
Yay, Anthropic!
Sue the Pentagon's ass off!
"Trying to crush a business because the government doesn’t like what the business does is a textbook violation of the First Amendment."

New reporting confirms an American Tomahawk missile destroyed the Shajarah Tayyebeh school on the last day of February.
The president earlier said he “just doesn’t know enough about it.”
Actually, let's TRIPLE down on the Target boycott. 🫡
Target I'm sorry that was a breakup not just a boycott baby.
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

This story suggests that Witkoff and Kushner bungled the negotiations with Iran because they don't understand nuclear technology

Trump is letting huge corporations that suck up to him evade antitrust enforcement.
State attorneys general should fight back by filing their own lawsuits to break up Live Nation/Ticketmaster and block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.
Enough of Trump's oligarchy.
“Pinocchiogles” I might never stop laughing. 🤣
They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.
The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.
NEW: Senate Republicans splinter over SAVE America Act's path as Trump calls for more revisions
Some insist "talking filibuster" can work.
Thune warns it has never worked to pierce a filibuster.
Kennedy floats reconciliation, but that's limited to tax/spending.
