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.
