Judge says possible errors by Lindsey Halligan could imperil Comey case In a rare move, the judge ordered prosecutors to hand over records of the grand jury proceeding to the former FBI director’s lawyers.

IRS Direct File won't be available next year. Here's what that means for taxpayers The Trump administration has decided not to offer the IRS' electronic tax filing system for free next year, and its future is unclear

Democrats built Direct File to cut out middlemen like TurboTax that charge ridiculous fees.

Trump killed it. Thanks to Republicans, Turbotax wins and you lose.

I want to tell you what we know about Trump’s truly sh*tty economy. Then I’ll suggest 10 things that Democrats should pledge to do about it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-truly-shtty-economy

@indivisible.org has asked us to boycott Spotify as long as they are running ICE recruitment ads. I think that is a good enough reason to do it, but I think this collective action does so much more than we realize. These are muscles and mindsets we are building now for bigger actions to come.
