The Trump administration killed the IRS’s free Direct File program. Now, former DOGE “officials” are reportedly considering putting free direct filing into a new AI-powered government portal.
They could have just kept Direct File.

Americans want a good life, fewer corporate hurdles, more income, more time. Policymakers have the power to deliver. They just need the will to use it.

California once led the tax revolt.
Now, it may become the first state to tax billionaire wealth at scale.

We wrote earlier this year about how killing free tax filing has shifted costs onto working people.

Policy wins aren't enough if we don't control the narrative.
In an interview with Shahrzad Shams, Patrick Reinsborough discusses how movements can build the power to shift what’s politically possible and win lasting change.
ALT This image contains a person holding a cardboard sign that reads, "A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE." There is a text box with a quote discussing narrative power and its impact on changing lives, attributed to Patrick Reinsborough. The quote is from an article titled “From ‘What If?’ to ‘This Must Be’: Patrick Reinsborough on Building Narrative Power” by Roosevelt Forward. The Roosevelt Forward logo is shown in the bottom left corner.
Real corporate accountability means changing the structure: how power is distributed, how decisions get made, and who benefits.
