The Internal Revenue Service is reminding self-employed individuals, retirees, investors, businesses, and corporations that the deadline for making first quarter estimated tax payments for the 2025 tax year is Monday, April 15.

This includes individuals who are self-employed or working in the gig economy, as well as retirees…

It’s not as though we weren’t warned. Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever. That was published in 2018. This was published a few days after Trump won, digesting Timothy Snyder’s warning: Is Trump trying to kill us? Authoritarian expert says yes. Here’s how. (Professor Snyder has since moved to Canada.) Yesterday, The Economist gave us The Age of Chaos: How Trump’s Incoherent Trade Policy Will Do Lasting Damage.
