Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in bid to overturn 2020 election, pardon attorney says
The pardons may be largely symbolic as none of the people listed were convicted of federal crimes, which the presidential pardon covers.

Under Biden, the IRS launched a program for people to file their taxes FOR FREE (finally!)
Well, Trump ended it because TurboTax donated $1 million to him. This White House is just one big grift while the rest of us pay more for everything.

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Extending the offer to ALL customers.

Feds told Oregon grocers they couldn’t offer 10% off to SNAP recipients, so they got creative

I suppose if the premier thinks wearing a poppy is not political, he will also lift the ban on visitors to the Nova Scotia legislature wearing the purple ribbon symbolizing gender based violence.
I had to take it off the last time I was in that building.
