TaxHawk is free for Federal filing, and is super clear and easy to use. The best organized easiest to use tax prep I have ever used. Also does Sched C for business and self employed too.

In Chicago, DHS refused to pause the raids and arrests so kids could go trick-or-treating without the risk of getting tear-gassed or subjected to violence.

Meanwhile, DHS agents in Los Angeles celebrated the holiday by conducting raids while wearing horror movie masks.

Sadism as public policy.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …

"It has really become a prison."

DOJ's Jana Brady steps up next but says she'll largely "rest on our brief that we filed."

She wants any TRO to not "interfere with the executive branch."

If your case is so weak the country will “die” unless the Court takes your side, maybe the real threat isn’t the Court. Pressuring SCOTUS with “life or death” rhetoric is a textbook warning indicator in our assessment of accelerating authoritarian dynamics.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

You know how everyone said that ICE wearing masks and not showing ID was going to lead to criminals impersonating ICE to do bad things? Well, it's happening. from

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, your decision today hinges on a very simple question that goes right to the soul of what America is all about: should a man be allowed, out of the goodness of his heart, to give a delicious sandwich to a member of our law enforcement community?

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.

This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

When we launched this campaign, we said we wanted to knock on one million doors across the five boroughs by the June primary.

Some people laughed. You got to work. We hit 1.6 million.

In the general, we said let's do it again. Another million.

We just passed three.

Holder: I don’t think Jim Comey stands any chance of being convicted. I think the same is true for Letitia James.

But to have a former insurance lawyer—someone who has never been a criminal prosecutor—present a case to a grand jury simply at the call of the President is extremely dangerous.

The White House's push for data centers to build their own power plants is an almost perfect distillation of their preference for wealth inequality and historical / technical ignorance. Brief thread: www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Trump’s energy moves rattle electric utilities

The administration's push for data centers to source their own power is seen by some as a threat to utilities' business model.

Omg.. c'mon media, when you ask "Why did the president pardon someone who he claims not to know", and they answer, "I haven't seen that." The follow-up is "Well now you know, so what do you have to say"?

This is just ludicrous. "I don't know" is basically "I dont care".

For too long, industry has been labelled a “hard-to-abate” sector. It’s time to rethink that.

With rapid advances in electrification and energy efficiency, much of industry is not hard to abate — it’s ready to innovate.
