A note from Aaron: I spoke with The Times of London for a nice little profile about me that went live yesterday. Check it out here or from the the link in Substack Notes below.
 | | Aaron Rupar 13h “It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.” | | https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/article/aaron-rupar-bluesky-twitter-trump-z02t3dxng | | |

It’s easy to find yourself grumbling at the thought of taxes, especially when you have to spend another weekend wrestling with your tax software as April 15 approaches.
Republicans have a ready response to the displeasure so many of us feel at this time of year: Taxes are terrible, the Internal Revenue Service is a force of oppression that must be curtailed, and anything that looks like a tax cut (no matter who actually benefits) is an unalloyed good.
Unfortunately, for decades Democrats have lived in fear of anti-tax sentiment rather than trying to change it, and accepted too many Republican premises. But what if they changed their approach to the issue? They could reap enormous political benefit, and get us a fairer and healthier fiscal system to boot.
