Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.
This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
See how this works?

I don't think I've seen anyone abroad mention this mass-murderer during the genocide, but you should know his face: Tomer Bar, commander of the Israeli Air Force. His subordinates are responsible for most of the massacres committed against Palestinians in the ongoing holocaust.
It is totally disgusting that the UK government doesn't give a shit about the closure of the Grangemouth petrol refining capacity
