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?

Just to be absolutely clear.
i actually understand how important the strait of hormuz being closed is because i've seen star wars: episode i: the phantom menace (1999)
I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

At first blush, it seems like a good idea. It would help consumers in the short term. But
1. It also helps Trump and republicans who would take credit
2. Tax holidays are often windfalls for oil companies
3. Doesn’t address the core issue
4. We need that tax revenue
What do you think?
New Human Rights Watch report finds that the US Israel massacre of an elementary school in southern Iran has to be investigated as a war crime. The US and Israel had sufficient information and intel to know whether it was a school or not.

Trump admits the US committed several war crimes by sinking an Iranian ship and leaving survivors to drown for fun.
"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? We could use it. Why did we sink them?' He said, 'It's more fun to sink them.' They like sinking them better."

Post from Drop Site News claiming Bellingcat geolocation confirms U.S. Tomahawk missiles struck a girls’ primary school in southern Iran, killing around 180 people, most of them children, with an embedded tweet describing footage of the strike.
Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
With oil at $110, I’d guess the equity markets give up another 3-5% over the next few days.
And then Trump TACOs.
The result? The war will have succeeded in clearing out the Iranian gerontocracy for a new generation of younger extremist Mullahs.

Of course this is all a grift for Trump to make money and was never about celebrating America. www.notus.org/donald-trump...
The thing about Lindsey Graham is that he isn’t particularly well liked or trusted by many in MAGA.
He obviously isn’t well liked by Democrats either.
His constituency seems to consist of think-tankers in Washington, lobbyists, defense contractors, and Iranian monarchists.
The difference between the spike in global oil prices now versus 2022 is that this time the US president single-handedly caused it to happen overnight with a policy while accepting no responsibility, while the US president in 2022 was blamed for it even though he didn’t cause it.
At least Carlin isn’t alive to see this.

demoralizing for us military leaders to see president trump deny responsibility for unintended iran school strikes despite the evidence, blaming iran.
undermines us credibility at a critical time. they know better.

A Pew Research survey found that 53 percent of Americans view their fellow citizens as morally or ethically “bad,” the only country with such a majority.
In the 24 other countries polled, most people said they see other residents as ”good.”
The Trump administration is requesting $50 billion dollars in emergency “supplemental” funding for their illegal war in Iran. That $50 billion is in ADDITION to the $990 billion Congress has already appropriated for the defense budget. 🧵
