Mrs Opal Lee, the grandmother of Juneteenth, deserves as much praise for today as the holiday itself. Turning 99 later this year in October, she successfully launched the campaign to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. She was also given the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this.  Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program. Hello?

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

He has to be stopped before it gets worse. This family was needlessly put through so much anguish. It could be anyone of us next. Throw that criminal non-president in jail.
