I'm watching the livestream of my local community board meeting and AOC herself showed up and is talking about all the anti-DOGE shit she's trying to do

swoleregard
love this bitch to death

train bitch (+)
she's the ny mvp by miles

swoleregard
already can't wait to vote for her again lol

swoleregard
This lady just asked if it's safe to file taxes and both she and AOC are treating it as a "joking but not actually joking" thing

Jay
IIIIIII have been wondering about that, honestly

swoleregard
yeah she didn't really have a great answer and that's understandable because... yeah who knows???

swoleregard
the vibe was kind of "if they already have your data then like..."

train bitch (+)
they definitely already have it so it is what it is but on the other hand they've fired all the auditors and society is crumbling so do you HAVE TO file them....


whiphand
they already have my info + they owe me money (probably a piddly amount as usual but like... I want my $60 or whatever) so I'm gonna, but if I owed I'd probably refuse to file in protest

train bitch (+)
i'd be amazed if anybody gets a timely refund now that they've massively downsized... at tax season............

swoleregard
God she's just great

Ptriciadactyl
yeah, IRS layoffs at tax time is the stupidest thing

train bitch (+)
everything about this timeline is enragingly stupid

swoleregard
Basically saying that their main weapon right now is grinding every damn thing to a halt as much as possible (and documenting all the bullshit everywhere)

"[The House and Senate] are going to have to take 36 hours to tie their shoes" lmao

...man I filed my taxes this year asap so I would hopefully have extra spending money for Japan but now I'm like "shit you're right...."

ltmutiny
Who knows, obviously, but that's....true.....

swoleregard
now she's done and some cops are talking, boo

ltmutiny
gross

whiphand
boooo

train bitch (+)
yeah i have no special insight beyond "wow the IRS too? that's especially stupid timing..." but maybe if you filed asap it's already processing? folks who haven't filed yet i'd expect massive delays.

train bitch (+)
cuz they sure did a sweeping layoff there this week too. sigh.

swoleregard
I definitely have not and I will but part of me is definitely in that "...but what if I don't..." place

skipthedemon
I filed my taxes a couple of weeks ago, and got my refund pretty darn fast. who knows about now, tho.

ltmutiny
I filed...a few days ago, lmao. I guess I'll just hope!

train bitch (+)

whiphand
I always do it like the day before they're due so
who knows what'll be going on in april


swoleregard

train bitch (+)
