Getting my my tax records ready for the accountant. Clergy taxes are fun! Iโ€™m proud to do my part. After all, someone has to pay for the Trump-Musk administrationโ€™s shady deals and Trumpโ€™s excessive golf vacations!

Your Therapist Is a Trump Supporter โ€” Now What? Navigating relationship differences is tough. But what do you do when you find out that your therapist voted for Donald Trump? Women weigh in.

A therapist without empathy? Hard pass.

Jair Bolsonaro charged over alleged far-right coup plot to seize power in Brazil Former president is charged by attorney general following police report that accused him of organising a conspiracy to stop Luiz Inรกcio Lula da Silva taking power.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports.

It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people.

Some populist, huh?

What the Hell Is Going on at NIH? Scientists sound the alarm about Trumpโ€™s unprecedented โ€œBig Brotherโ€ research crackdown.

It appears that Trump is fixated on punishing the agencies and individuals (Dr Fauci) he blames for his own failures during the the COVID pandemic -- failures that cost him re-election. Now he's lashing out by essentially canceling all federally backed research. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
