$141 Million Settlement to be Issued to TurboTax Customers
Millions of American taxpayers who were eligible for free tax services but were misled into paying TurboTax will soon receive settlement checks as compensation. In a settlement reached last year, Intuit Inc., the owner of TurboTax, was ordered to pay $141 million to approximately 4.4 million individuals nationwide. These individuals, who were low-income consumers qualifying for free federally-supported tax services, were charged by TurboTax to file their federal tax returns for the years 2016, 2017, and 2018 due to deceptive and predatory marketing practices, according to New York Attorney General Letitia James.

This sparked a flurry of speculation on social media and fringe websites, with some claiming that Putin had died or been replaced by a lookalike.

After Bulldozing Internationalism, President Announces "New Manifest Destiny"
January 20th (Cape Alava, WA) – Manifest Destiny. These two words elicit a strong response in the American psyche. Depending upon the person, this may bring feelings of exceptionalism; that the United States had—perhaps through divine providence—a mission to spread democratic ideals from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, and to keep European empires out of these lands. For those people already living in the path of the expansionists, it was seen as a racist landgrab that displaced and killed millions, paving the way for a uniquely American territorial empire that denied freedoms to most and is still in existence today.
