Making a math mistake on your taxes shouldn't cost you a fortune or hours of work.
That's why my bipartisan IRS MATH Act that was just signed into law makes sure you know where you made a mistake and how to push back if the IRS got it wrong.

I just wrote about how Trump's speech last night was a farce. Worse, the fact that all the major networks gave him time to delivery is a tragedy for a free press and democracy.

The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.
