TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.
The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.
The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.
Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Since Wraith Games is a worker co-op, we figured the best way to celebrate would be to share some info about co-ops and why they're rad!

As a software engineer, folks are forging the sword meant to cut off their heads. I know many software people who disagree with me, of course (you can disagree with me, but if you argue with me I'll likely block or mute you so I don't have to hear your AI-infused Kool-Aid yammering). #software

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

On January 27, ICE agents arrested someone in Schenectady Civil Court—without a judicial warrant or order.
That was supposed to be banned by 2020's Protect Our Courts Act. Now, the two elected officials behind the law are demanding some answers.

ICE Arrested a New Yorker in a Schenectady Courthouse Without a Warrant
The arrest, supposed to be banned by a 2020 law, took place a week before a new memo to court officers advised them to step aside if ICE proceeds, sans warrant.

Wealth inequality in the U.S. has worsened since the 1990s. A small group determines workers' wages. This is undemocratic.
In a democratic economy, workers would collectively decide wages, ensuring a more equitable and inclusive distribution of wealth.
