My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday.
White House says food, toxins among reasons for poor U.S. health

New story from me: Imani* was in class when she discovered a scholarship program she relied on had been shut down.
“I don’t come from wealth ... Ending the program puts a burden on individuals who don't have it like most of the wealthy people here at the University of Michigan"

A scholarship program helped boost diversity at U of M. Trump’s DEI crackdown just killed it.
The University of Michigan Alumni Association has ended the LEAD Scholars program, a merit-based scholarship that worked to improve enrollment for minority students.
