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.

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this. Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.” What?! 👀

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

I sure as hell hope other countries around the world who value their citizens don’t share any intelligence with Tulsi Moscow Gabbard because you can be guaranteed that what you give to her will be sent to murderous Dictator Putin too. Be warned.

🚨NEW: VoteVets Senior Advisor LTC (Ret.) Alex Vindman sounds the alarm. SecDef Hegseth’s decision to block Ukraine from NATO is a full capitulation to Putin—emboldening Russian aggression and putting U.S. Troops at risk. This isn’t “America First.” It’s Russia First.

If people send their tax money to a gov’t in which their elected representatives have no control over how that tax money is spent (because the executive has taken over that role), then isn’t that “taxation without representation?” I seem to remember a historical event inspired by something like that

For those not familiar with how financial markets work, US Treasuries are the ultimate safe asset, used as collateral for everything. Even a hint that some Treasuries might not be honored could bring everything to a screeching halt 1/

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
