For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

My heart breaks at news of another horrific plane crash. I'm praying for the families of the victims & people of Arizona. It's vital the government thoroughly investigate this tragedy to bring peace to the victims and families and protect everyone flying in the US. abcnews.go.com/US/2-dead-af...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

The Israeli state cannot stand progressive Jews who fight its misanthropy. They repeatedly targeted the brilliant Ofer Cassif, an elected Member of the Knesset, who campaigns tirelessly to end Apartheid. They are having another go now. Let's stop them! www.timesofisrael.com/far-left-mks...

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

"Mr. Daughtry had been a detective in the Police Department before Mr. Adams became mayor in 2022. Under the Adams administration, he was elevated to high-ranking positions despite a relative lack of policy, administrative or supervisory experience." What could go wrong?

U. S. District Court Judge Dale Ho will hold a hearing tomorrow on whether dropping the federal prosecution of NYC’s corrupt mayor is in the “public interest.” It isn’t. Deference to DOJ is required. Abdication of judgment isn’t. If ever there was a case in which the judge should say no, it’s this.
