This is actually one of the most cut and dry acts of corruption ever. Just straight up making tax filing more difficult and expensive purely to benefit companies like TurboTax that gave millions to Trump. Our gov hates us.

The Trump administration has killed IRS Direct File, the program that let you file your taxes for free. Direct File will not be operational this coming tax season.

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

We know that Trump raised over $350M for his White House ballroom. But did you know that two-thirds of corporate donors have entered into government contracts and most of them are facing federal enforcement actions or have had them suspended by Trump? citizen.org/article/banque…

I often said Nancy Pelosi was the best Speaker of the House in American history — it’s why I awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. When I was President, we worked together to grow our economy, create millions of jobs, and make historic investments in our nation’s future.…

BREAKING: @SenPeterWelch came to the floor to try to pass his bill to extend the Affordable Care Act's premium tax credits. Senate Republicans BLOCKED it.

If any SNAP recipients out there still believe that Trump cares about them, know that even after a court ordered him to pay you the benefits, Trump is appealing the order - because he couldn't care less about you. Winning is more important to Trump than feeding your kids.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

Who does this help? Being able to file your taxes for free seems like one of those uncontroversial things we should all agree on. IRS Direct File let people do that, but now Trump ended it.

The program worked flawlessly and saved taxpayers time and money. The Trump Administration killed it because a couple well-connected tax prep companies wanted them to. So be sure to thank them when you’re shelling out money for private tax prep services next year.

Sen. Jacky Rosen: "Donald Trump is in charge of the White House. He's actually Speaker of the House these days, as he alleges himself. And he's pretty much in control of the Senate. He could stop this shutdown right now...But he's choosing to inflict the most pain possible."

Donald Trump is lying. US job cuts have surpassed 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 layoffs announced just in October. That is the worst October since 2003.

Donald Trump is destroying the economy. But at least he has a shiny new ballroom paid for by all the rich people he’s making richer with his kleptocracy. Layoffs are rising to recession-like levels, new report says washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…

In a major victory, a court has ordered the Trump administration to send full November SNAP benefits by tomorrow.   I'm relieved that people will get the food they need, but it's outrageous that it took a lawsuit to make the federal government feed its own people.

The Trump administration is still choosing to withhold lifesaving food assistance from millions of Americans.   We're asking a court to require @USDA to release complete SNAP benefits for November.   I'll keep fighting this shameful inaction until every New Yorker is fed.

Pramila Jayapal: “A promise of a failed vote is just not good enough. Any deal must secure the extention of the ACA tax credits and ensure healthcare for the American people with agreement from the House, the Senate, and the White House. Full stop.”

Right now families are going through open enrollment and realizing that Republicans are willingly making them pay thousands of dollars more for their monthly premiums. It’s a Trump tax on health care.

If you are a wealthy, connected corporation, you might be able to call up President Trump or Secretary Bessent to get an exemption from these awful tariffs. But if you’re a small business on Main Street, you’re out of luck.

RFK Jr had slashed the CDC’s program to monitor and track food-borne outbreaks back in August. Fast forward to now… deadly listeria outbreak across the U.S. has now caused 25 hospitalizations and 6 deaths across 18 states, one of the largest outbreaks. These events are linked.

#Listeria—a deadly pathogen—caused 6 deaths & 25 hospitalizations in a national outbreak tied to prepared pasta. One pregnant woman lost her baby. The U.S. FoodNet program just stopped tracking #Listeria Food safety matters—we need to restore monitoring of food-borne outbreaks

Clear cut perjury. Send him to jail.

Under oath, Gregory Bovino testified that he did not use force against a protester. The government claimed he was assaulted. Video showed the exact opposite. Great details from @jmetr22b on this curtain raiser for tomorrow’s hearing chicagotribune.com/2025/11/04/imm…
