A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.

Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a ear after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M.

Do you see how this works?

At Our Table with Jaime Harrison

In our season finale, we sit down with Kamala Harris for an unguarded conversation about the weight of leadership and the search for steadiness through faith, family, purpose, and friendships forged through fire. Vice President Harris reflects on building a presidential campaign in 107 days, making history with the confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, and refusing to let others define her right to be in the room. Together, we talk about a Democratic Party that can’t play it safe forever as well as the dangers of misinformation and disinformation.

Biden’s Final Numbers

Statistical indicators of President Biden’s four years in office.

By D’Angelo Gore, Brooks Jackson, Lori Robertson, Robert Farley and Alan Jaffe

Posted on October 9, 2025

Summary

The final numbers for Joe Biden’s full term are nearly all in. Here’s our rundown of various statistical measures during his presidency:

Crude oil, natural gas, natural gas plant liquids, biofuels, solar and wind all set domestic production records in Biden’s last year in office.

Inflation roared back, shrinking the value of workers’ paychecks. Consumer prices rose 21.5%. Gasoline alone rose 31%. After adjusting for inflation, private-sector average weekly earnings shrank 4%.

The economy regained millions of jobs lost during the coronavirus pandemic and around 6 million more. Unemployment averaged 4.1%, well below the historical average.

The economy grew by at least 2.5% each year, with real gross domestic product growth of 2.8% in 2024.

The percentage and number of Americans who lacked health insurance went down by 0.6 percentage points, or 1.2 million people, when measuring those who were uninsured for an entire year.

The nationwide violent crime and property crime rates declined. The murder rate dropped by 1.7 points.

All three major U.S. stock indexes set new records. The S&P 500 climbed 57.8%.

After-tax corporate profits continued to set records.

Consumer confidence sank to a historic low, when inflation surged, and then rose. But it was still lower when Biden left office than when his term began.

Apprehensions of those trying to cross the southern border illegally were 107% higher in Biden’s last year compared with the year before he took office.

The monthly average for refugee admissions was 157% higher than during his predecessor’s time in office.

The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services went up by nearly 40%.

Home prices rose 37.4%. The homeownership rate fluctuated slightly.

The number of people receiving federal food assistance increased only slightly.

The median household income, when factoring in inflation, went up by $2,150. The official poverty rate declined, but the alternative, supplemental measure increased, after pandemic stimulus payments ended.

The federal publicly held debt went up by one-third.

Biden ‘Opted for Photo Shoot With Annie Leibovitz Rather Than Critical Meeting’ https://petapixel.com/2025/04/04/biden-opted-for-photo-shoot-with-annie-leibovitz-rather-than-critical-meeting/ #annieleibovitz #presidentbiden #presidenttrump #joebiden #politics #News

Democrats should be asking Americans, Are you better off today? Or when #PresidentBiden was president.

This is the message.

How soon we forget what a diversity White House looks like.

The Day Instagram Blocked Democracy

On the day of Trump’s second presidential inauguration, Instagram censored search results for the most popular hashtags associated with American Democrats, like “#Democrat”, “#PresidentBiden”, “#VoteBlue”, “#MichelleObama”, “#Kamala”, and dozens more. This ban lasted for 9 total hours and affected users worldwide, regardless of their content settings. During that same time, Instagram was displaying full search results for “#Republican”, “#Trump”, “#VoteRed”, “#PresidentTrump”, and every other popular Republican hashtag I tried. I found about 50 censored political tags related to Democrats, but every Republican tag was still working fine.

The removal of these pro-Democrat hashtags started on the evening of January 20th, 2025, coincidentally a few hours after Trump signed the “Restoring Freedom Of Speech” executive act. These censored results lasted for about 9 hours, then went back to normal at around 5 am PST. I want to state again that these words were censored for all Instagram users on the website and app regardless of that user’s content settings or their location.

Meta claimed this was a technical “error” affecting hashtags “across the political spectrum,” but this is demonstrably false. I searched through the most popular hashtags used by Democrats and Republicans last night and found that the majority of Democrat terms were being censored, while none of the popular Republican tags were affected. This selective censorship is a scary look into Meta’s updated content moderation practices and its potential alignment with the new administration.

The following hashtags were actively blocked by Instagram on the first day of Trump’s second presidency. While they are now searchable again, I personally confirmed all of these hashtags were inaccessible last night:

• Barack
• BarackObama
• Bernie
• BernieSanders
• Biden
• Constitution
• Democrat
• Democrats
• DNC
• Fascism
• FuckTrump
• Insurrection
• Jan6th
• JohnOliver

• JoeBiden
• Kamala
• Leftist
• Liberal
• Liberals
• MichelleObama
• Obama
• OccupyDemocrats
• PresidentBiden
• PresidentObama
• Queer
• ReproductiveRights
• VoteBlue

And those were just the ones I could find yesterday. I’m sure there are many more. Instagram is still blocking other hashtags like ProChoice, GeorgeConway (a writer critical of Trump), JackSmith (the special counsel against Trump), 14thAmendment, and Drumpf. It’s possible those words were already being censored before Trump’s inauguration, so I didn’t include them on the list above.

During that same 9-hour window, I confirmed the following words were not being censored on IG:

• AltRight
• DonaldJTrump
• DonaldTrump
• FuckObama
• FuckBiden
• FuckKamala
• LetsGoBrandon

• MelaniaTrump
• PresidentTrump
• Republican
• RNC
• Trump
• VoteRed

Those words all worked. You couldn’t search for FuckTrump, but you could search for FuckObama or FuckBiden. Trump was searchable, but Biden, Kamala, Bernie, and Obama were not. You could search for MelaniaTrump, but not MichelleObama. PresidentTrump still showed millions of results, while discussions of PresidentBiden were marked as “sensitive content”.

We don’t know what caused Meta to censor these words, but we do know this was not affecting “both sides.”. This was an extremely targeted list of censored words.

As a contrast, I saw several claims on Threads and IG that TikTok was also heavily censoring content. I tested it out for myself and was still fully able to search for words like “Fascist,” “Fascism,” “Democrat,” and “Trump”. I was also able to post pro-Palestinian content like “Free Palestine” without having the post removed. If TikTok is censoring content, they are being more clever about it than Instagram is.

Though we can prove that Instagram was censoring certain hashtags last night, we can’t say why they were doing it. It’s possible this really was a computer error with no human oversight, but I’ve never heard of a computer bug that only affects people based on their political affiliation.

To understand why this happened, take a look at the context surrounding it. Last year, Trump accused Zuckerberg of election interference and threatened to lock Mark up “for life”. After Trump won the election, Zuckerberg started a series of regular visits to Mar-a-Lago for private meetings with the President-Elect. Last week, Zuckerberg announced big changes to Meta’s content moderation team and added Dana White (a Trump loyalist) to Meta’s board. Yesterday, Zuckerberg attended Trump’s inauguration along with Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, Shou Zi Chew, and several other of the richest tech oligarchs.

With all of that in mind, I find it unlikely that an Instagram error selectively silencing Trump’s political opponents would coincidentally occur on the first day of his second presidency. Given the state of *gestures broadly at everything around me*, I believe that Meta has many systems in place to quickly silence Trump’s political opponents, and last night we saw one of those systems being used. If Meta really did have an “error” yesterday, it was probably that they activated that system too early.
