remember when the IRS put out a a free online tax filing system where you could just do your taxes through the IRS and it was actually well made and was pretty well recieved and then the tax filing industry and Republicans killed it and now you have to use TurboTax again

Keep in mind that it’s not just the cost of filling *your* tank which is skyrocketing…the cost to every *truck driver* is also spiking, which means the cost of whatever they’re transporting will go up as well…

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or β€œfederalize” the coming Congressional elections.

Oil and gas prices rapidly rise as Iran war shows no signs of letting up The price of oil surged higher and showed no signs of halting its rapid climb a week after the U.S. and Israel launched major attacks on Iran that escalated into a war in the Middle East.

Hello historian of #bicycling here; if anyone wants to hear about what happened in WWII and also during the 1970s energy crisis (when Americans turned to bicycles as alternative transportation solutions) I'm certainly available. I've written about both in _Bike Battles_.

The Speech That Should Break the Trump-Epstein-Russia Dam What happens when the fragments of evidence finally become a pattern too dangerous to ignore

This commentary examines why his Senate floor remarks matter, why elite impunity depends on confusion, and why public attention could turn a crack in the wall into a breach.

Russian propaganda has launched a disinformation campaign using AI-generated fake images of Ukrainian cash-in-transit guards, according to Hungarian fact-checkers from the VastagbΕ‘r project.

The images were published by Ripost, a tabloid controlled and funded by Prime Minister Viktor OrbΓ‘n’s party.

if that is the case, the democrats can just get together and stall the rest of his whole term, and he doesn't get to sign his name on any further legislation... i can't see a mayor downside to that... ;)

How each senator voted on an effort to rein in Trump’s Iran war powers | CNN Politics Republican senators rejected a war powers resolution on Wednesday that would have required the Trump administration to seek congressional approval before continuing military action against Iran.

The senate held a vote to end the war. Schumer, along with every other democrat save one, voted to end the war. www.cnn.com/2026/03/04/p...

Hillary Clinton once couldn’t even get a credit card in her own name. Yet some Gen Z women are being algorithm-fed β€œtradwife” fantasies without understanding the history. Women’s independence isn’t trauma. It’s evolution. #Pinks #Momsky

The modern executive branch is a creature made monstrous by what George Washington called β€œunprincipled men.” The Framers had another name for them: Congress.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El NiΓ±o

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

How a tiny, inexperienced firm landed a $1.3 billion detention deal To hold 5,000 human beings.

When the Trump administration awarded a $1.26 billion contract to operate a new detention center in Texas, it made headlines. Why?

Because the company that won the job was so small, it operated out of a single-family home in Richmond, Virginia.

Racism is not ignorance. Stop saying that. You either believe all human beings are endowed with basic dignity, or you don’t. You should not have to shake hands with each of the 8 billion people on this planet to arrive at that conclusion. Stop making excuses for HATE!
