My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

The Trump administration's strikes in Venezuela were ordered without Congress, without transparency, and without any justification to the public. These actions are reckless, unconstitutional, and dangerous for our national security.

Dear Senator Cassidy,

“We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name.

Best,

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

NEWS: A federal appeals court has unanimously ruled that Alina Habba is disqualified from serving as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey — calling her appointment unlawful and void. The 3rd Circuit panel upheld a prior decision that her tenure violated federal appointment law.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Excellent film. With great turn of events.
Tonight's rewatch: STALAG 17. A Christmas film if ever there was one, with Holden exuding pure movie star through the sleaze. Wilder keeps it silly for so long that you wonder if anything is going to happen, and then suddenly, it becomes thrilling. One of the great face movies—everybody has one.

It’s appalling - it’s disturbing that Trump can say such horrible things without being stopped! He is not a president, he should never get away with his behaviour and actions #removeFromOffice

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.

Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state.

It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

Cassidy should lose his medical license. He knows, absolutely, the danger and harm RFK, Jr. is doing, and is putting politics before the health of millions. Remember, first do no harm? Sorry, "Dr." Cassidy; you're knowingly failing that fundamental precept.
