White House touts tax cuts that could boost annual take-home pay for Michiganders by up to $9,000
The White House is touting how the largest tax refund in U.S. history will benefit Michiganders, from higher take-home pay to permanent increases to the Child Tax Credit.
The Working Families Tax Cuts Act is projected to boost 2025 tax refunds by $1,000 or more, with the average taxpayer expected to collect nearly $4,000 in 2026. The legislation signed into law by President Donald Trump in July was supported by Republicans and opposed by all Democrats in Congress.
“Thanks to President Trump signing the largest middle-class tax cuts in history – including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security – this will be the largest tax refund season ever,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “President Trump believes that hardworking Americans deserve to keep more of their hard-earned money, and he will always fight to [put] money back in their pockets.” Click here to read more.

Watchdog Alleges Netflix Coordinated With FBI to Promote Left-Wing Narrativestheir business.
A new report alleges that the streaming giant Netflix has worked closely with federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies in ways that amount to government-assisted propaganda.
The report released Tuesday by the Oversight Project, a government watchdog group, contends that the FBI, the CIA, and the Defense Department (now the War Department) exercised influence over film and television productions—particularly those distributed by Netflix.
“Based on all publicly available evidence and analysis, Netflix appears to have an outsized role in socially engineering millions of Americans into a predisposition to accept preferred left-wing ideological dogma,” the Oversight Project report states.
“Netflix did so with the help of the federal government, especially the FBI, and intelligence community. In fact, the FBI plays an outsized active role in content moderation for projects it is involved in.” Click here to read more.
