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.

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

Rep. Aaron Bean (R-FL) #FL-04, you can’t hide from “DOGE” you were a co-founder of the DOGE caucus, you even did a press conference praising weirdo Musk & his cronies. You’re gonna be voted out in #Florida even though you’re in a red district.
Plus you’re destroying ACA for families. 🔥🔥
Plus you’re destroying ACA for families. 🔥🔥
The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵

Reports suggest that Trump will support extending the health care tax credits for two years. If true, it's because he got so much blowback from Republicans running in the midterms. If it happens, expect Trump to declare that he saved health care even though he would only be saving it from himself.
