Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

I’ve interviewed a lot of victims stayed in an abusive relationship because they worried their loved ones would judge them for not leaving sooner. They needed support and they knew they would get ridicule instead.

If you'd like to go sit in the corner with your depressing doomerism while the rest of us try to make something happen, that'd be terrific.

No, no, a little farther away. Keep going.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.
