For what it is worth, the Big Beautiful Bill contains this gem...
As soon as practicable, and not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall ensure that the Internal Revenue Service Direct File program has been terminated.
(This is the text of the bill on the website as of the time I posted this, it can change or be wrong now.

That section was just removed.
Not that I needed any more proof of how disgustingly anti-human the government has become. So depressing.
Intuit is owned by humans.

It's a distinction without a difference. The Republican party is the government now. It's what Americans voted for.
No, it is a very important distinction. Only one side is fascist authoritarian, the other side has no power to stop them. It's not "the US government", it's 100% Republicans. Yes, "it's what Americans" voted for", but even that is debatable. Quite a lot of America didn't even vote, were prevented from voting, and there's evidence of irregularities in the results. But yes, Republicans won, and they are doing their best to dismantle democracy. The Left is nothing like them at all, so the distinction is very important. Both sides are not the same.
It's gotten outright infuriating that people keep blaming government for bad initiatives that are solely the fault of Republicans.
Getting real tired of people blaming "both sides" for everything bad the government does as if it's some sort of morally or intellectually superior viewpoint. It's a thought-ending cliche.
Sure, both sides are drone-striking warmongers. Both sides are basically owned by corporations.
But only one side is welcoming literal flag-waving Nazis into their midst and working to deport legal citizens and immigrants. Only one side is fighting to take food away from children in schools. Only one side is trying to take healthcare away from senior citizens. Only one side is trying to create a Christian white ethno-state.
People try to accuse the left of trying to stifle freedom-of-speech, yet Trump is the one spreading rhetoric about wanting to jail journalists for daring to speak up against him.
Except they voted for the guy that lied and lied and lied. Whatever happened to the immigrants eating cats and dogs in Ohio? Nothing, that's what. It was bald-faced lie. And people believed it and still voted for the insurrectionist. The problem with this country is low-IQ, hateful, spiteful voters.
