Senate Republicans just confirmed an IRS Commissioner who: 1) Supported legislation that would abolish the IRS 2) Doesn’t know the law 3) Has a track record of doing whatever Donald Trump tells him to do It’s dangerous and absurd.

"DOGE isn’t simply trying to dismantle the [US Internal Revenue Service]. It is trying to capture and rewire the IRS into a vehicle for executive dominance, privatized tax enforcement, and algorithmic control over public infrastructure." @asteephen.bsky.social, with @nathantankus.bsky.social

"To control the IRS is to control the operating system of the American state. That is precisely what makes this moment so dangerous. DOGE isn’t simply trying to dismantle the agency. It is trying to capture and rewire the IRS into a vehicle for executive dominance..."

Trump’s admin is having a full-blown tantrum: ➡️ Attacks Sen. Padilla for questioning Sec. Noem ➡️ Targets veteran IRS staff ➡️ Smears Fed Chair Powell as a “numbskull” This is the most petty and dangerous “leader” this country has ever had.

Slashing funding to universities. Threatening IRS investigations. Deploying troops to quash protests. Arresting senators for raising questions at a press conference. We won’t let these abuses of power go unchecked. americanoversight.org/investigatio...

Billy Long was the House rep for my hometown when a huge tornado hit. He took federal disaster relief from Obama to clean up & rebuild the town. Now as IRS chief he will likely starve disaster agencies of needed money & echo Trump's line that states are on their own. www.npr.org/2011/09/23/1...

BREAKING: Judge’s emergency order enjoins federal deployment of California National Guard. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The court has ruled in our favor. The Trump Admin is BLOCKED from deploying the federalized National Guard to patrol Los Angeles streets as our case continues. This is a win for the rule of law. What makes America great is our U.S. Constitution. We will never stop fighting to defend it.

What a day. Judge Charles Breyer just put a leash on little dictator Donald. We needed this today Ready for tomorrow's show www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFr5...

Trump ordered to return control of California National Guard to governor

Judge Breyer blocks Trump taking over California National Guard, and must return them to the authority of Governor Newsom by noon tomorrow. 💙💙💙🇺🇲🇺🇲💙💙💙 #SheShed #DefendersofDemocracy youtube.com/shorts/AxoEE...

BREAKING NEWS - President Donald Trump unlawfully federalized thousands of members of California’s National Guard and must return control of the troops to the state, a federal judge ruled Thursday. “His actions were illegal – both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority."

BREAKING: Federal judge rules Trump’s seizure of California's National Guard was illegal and violated the Tenth Amendment #NOH8

National Guard #Pinks “Today was really about a test of democracy,” Newsom told reporters immediately after the ruling. He said Trump has continually tested the limits of democracy. The order “makes clear that he is not above or beyond constitutional constraints.” Gift Article wapo.st/447Ko3M

BREAKING: Judge rules Trump's deployment of National Guard to L.A. is illegal & must be halted by noon PT Friday. Trump admin has already appealed. One potential weakness in Judge Charles Breyer's ruling: It's broader than what CA Gov Newsom was asking for www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Fucking A A judge ruled Trump’s deployment of the Guard was illegal. www.mediaite.com/politics/gav...

Trump tried to commandeer California’s Guard like a spoiled kid grabbing the car keys—forgetting it’s not his car, his troops, or his state. The judge didn’t just block him. He reminded him: this isn’t a dictatorship—it’s a democracy with brakes. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Hell yes, a federal judge has blocked the MAGA regime from deploying National Guard troops to Los Angeles and has ruled it unconstitutional and illegal. Damn right it’s illegal, it’s also unAmerican and unbelievably fascist. More of this please! 👏

Newsom is so articulate. Please listen… California Governor Newsom speaks at a press conference after federal judge says Trump illegally ordered National Guard troops to Los Angeles… youtu.be/pBFOKKON0xw?...

A federal judge has ruled that dictator-wannabe Trump illegally called-in the National Guard to Los Angeles, California. Judge Breyer has ordered that control of the Guard be returned to Gov. Gavin Newsom. 🙌🙏💪👏🇺🇸👇

Awesome! Judge Charles Breyer ruled that Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles was illegal and violated the Tenth Amendment. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Newsom: “The courts have ruled. The Guard will be back under my command — and Donald Trump will be relieved of his command at noon tomorrow.”

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.
