“Although I spent many of my formative years living in the White House, I always knew it wasn’t my house. It was my home, absolutely, but not my house. The White House belongs to the American people, and that’s why we call it the People’s House.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Keep going, good people. Live long enough to see their tribunals.

If there’s one thing we *know* the median MAGA voter was animated by when they voted for Trump in November 2024, it was the creation of more spaces for rich people to do ballroom dancing

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

It's a really interesting time in US history to be homeschooling, and teaching social studies. On the plus side, I'm highly motivated to emphasis civics, and how our government is *supposed* to work.

What exactly was the reason we needed to fire artillery shells over I-5? So JD Vance can feel like a real boy? Couldn’t he and Hegseth have just done some pushups together?

USPS is increasing rates for some domestic shipments from October 5th, 2025, to January 18th, 2026 for the holiday season. Has this been done before and I just didn't notice?

The first step to beating back hopelessness is getting involved.

Xero users - Is Xero sending emails to your clients? Not on your behalf, but TO your clients wanting them to sign up? I'm wondering if it's a random mistake or if they've taken a page from Intuit. #TaxBS

From city streets to rural crossroads, a movement is rising: millions strong, peaceful but unyielding. We’re the people who still believe in dignity, fairness, and freedom. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. Just us, We the People, refusing to bow. Show up if you can. #NoKings

As the Trump shutdown drags into its third week, it's clear Republicans are so committed to raising people's health care costs that they're willing to hold the country hostage to do it.

this is the OP that was deleted

All those tax returns filed in 2020 (and 2021) to take advantage of Covid money? If my inbox is any indication, it appears that the IRS is finally noticing that many of those taxpayers were previously non-filers. (Related: I predict the same result for 2025 thanks to OBBBA.)

I guess there's no polite way to tell a client they are one hot mess...but I would sure like to. #HerdingCats #TaxBS

Beautiful speech. youtu.be/k0CzXi9e66M?...

💚That deep sadness you feel, the irritability, anger, and numbness. It’s grief. Grief for who we were. Grief for who we could have been. Grief for the loss of CDC as we knew it and all that means for so many. Be kind to yourself. Be patient. It’s ok to grieve. 💚

If true this a fucking disgrace and the beginning of the end of TikTok

And people tell me the libs have no knack for messaging.

IMPORTANT NEWS As of October 17th, individuals will no longer be able to create new EFTPS accounts. Individuals are being encouraged to enroll in IRS Online Accounts. In 2026, all individuals will be required to transition away from EFTPS.

Apparently the $20 billion for Argentina was just the beginning of the US bailout according to Bessent today, since so many American oligarchs have big investments there that they can’t afford to lose.

As the government shutdown drags on, tax filings and payments are still due and Criminal Investigation will stay on the job. But processing of refunds and amended returns will likely be delayed. www.forbes.com/sites/kellyp...

Federal accepted the return in under 5 minutes.... DAYYUUUM! #taxBS

Once upon a time in America, Democrats and Republicans agreed on a few general things, but had different ideas about how to make those things happen. That was a better day. I hope that we can someday return to that. And, the cracks in the MAGA nutstreme are showing.

Congress continues to fail at providing the checks & balances the Constitution intends on the executive branch, but Senate Democrats are working hard to try and get it there. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This is a big deal. Japanese society has historically been very misogynistic and by historically, I mean as of 10 seconds ago. Women are largely viewed as caregivers, men are largely viewed as breadwinners. It's worse there than it is here, so this is shocking to me. I hope she becomes the PM.

Wow. This really says it all.

Congrats, Trump supporters, you’ve owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a functioning government, a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, inexpensive groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/congratula...

I've used Xero for 10 years. I'm frustrated as hell that it has so much potential, and yet has so much just plain STUPID. The support ticket timestamps don't even include the year. #taxBS #TaxTwitter

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I got a fundraising text from both you (your staff) and Chuck Schumer on 09/30 at 3:51pm. Apparently 09/30 was the end-of-the-quarter fundraising deadline. Why is there even a deadline in the first place? And why did you wait until the very last minute?

Anyone else ever have a client that you want to ask them, in an exasperated tone, "You DO have a PERSONAL checking account and PERSONAL credit cards, RIGHT???" #taxBS #TaxTwitter

There is not an increase in autism. There is increased accuracy in labeling. The old labels at school were Problem Kid, Weirdo, Troublemaker, Space Cadet, Know-it-All, Wallflower, Loner, and sometimes the "R" word. I don't really want to go back to that era, and you shouldn't either.

You would never contact a plumber and say, "can we set up a discovery call so you can tell me about your services?" Yet there are those who don't flinch when they do this to a tax preparer. #taxsky #taxBS (sorry I have been posting here - you know why).

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Get paid up front; small claims court is such a pain in the ass #taxbs

Duhhh!

President Trump blew off his meeting with Dems to stop a shutdown. All because he thinks keeping healthcare more affordable for families is “ridiculous.” 3 million Texans benefit from healthcare tax credits. Congress must extend the credits and keep people insured. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...

There are (at least) 2 companies who you should never give your email address to. No matter how many times you unsubscribe or file a privacy act request to have your data removed, they WILL keep emailing you. 1. Michael's 2. SmartPath.co #taxBS

Donald Trump, who is clearly a lunatic and needs to be ignored, talks shit about Acetaminaphen, Autism, and now for the next four days or so we are gonna hear rebuttals from experts. People out there, Donald is an idiot .... don't listen to a thing he has to say. Mute him.

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

I'm glad I already got my COVID shot, and I'm glad I live in California, where science is believed and vaccines are available. #CDC

Keeper.app, however, did not live up to the hype. Disappointing...but even their AI support bot was confused on where things are and how to do what. #taxBS

DocuClipper is amazing! Wish I'd tried it sooner. #taxBS
