“He cheated on the golf course. He cheated on his taxes. He cheated on his wives. He cheated the business contractors he stiffed. He tried to cheat in the 2020 election. And now he’s trying to cheat on the 2026 midterms - because he knows he can’t win.”

To make matters worse, why talk about refunds at all? What's important is a person's or family's total tax burden, not how well they estimated their tax liability when filing out their W-4 form.

The Tax Fairness Question Dominating This Filing Season The benefits of the One Big Beautiful Bill tilt toward the top, and the costs fall on those at the bottom.

Anytime someone touts an average value when discussing anything related to the economy, be extremely skeptical. Distribution of wages is highly skewed, not normally distributed. The median tax refund increase is almost certainly less than 11%.

I remember when she and Stephen Miller got hitched during Trump 1. At the time I thought, "Ewww... Who would marry him?"

Apparently it was a match made in MAGA Heaven.

Now, is there still hope for Usha?

Hey, I've got it. Here's a way to put a positive spin on the child rapist class.

"We have plenty of willing dads. All we need are more teenage girls who want to be moms." /s

Could be one of the reasons the No Kings events skew old. (I think they skew white because they aren't safe for people of color, no matter their immigration/citizenship status.)

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.

This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Well she did claim to benefit to the tune of $11,000 from his no tax on tips. Does not pass the smell test.

I'm guessing the Big Mac she delivered was pretty cold by the time it got to the White House...

The primary in California is June 2. Maybe Newsom will hold Swalwell's seat open until then (assuming he can appoint a replacement). If he can, I suppose there would be plenty of pressure on Abbott to name a replacement for Gonzalez (again, if he can) so as not to jeopardize the R house majority.

I realize this is confusing, but the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran isn’t a domestic political story.

Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, proving the transition is not theoretical but already operational. The barrier is no longer technology, but political will, investment priorities, and the courage to move faster.

Trump claimed he was going to deport the worst of the worst.

But he's not.

He's taking the best of the best.
He's abducting hardworking people, doctors even!

Many people are oblivious. They're busy working & taking care of their kids.

Please talk to friends & tell them about #ICELawlessness!

You can see up to 18 shooting stars per hour this April! 🌠🧪

The Lyrid Meteor Shower begins April 14, and peaks overnight April 21 to 22. This shower occurs when Earth moves through a stream of debris left behind by Comet Thatcher.

I think it would be great if they just copied Obama's Iran deal and replaced his name with Trump's. I wonder if Iran would bite?

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.
