Mass layoffs of IRS agents who catch tax evaders. Once more, Elon Musk's very sincere crusade to cut "waste and fraud" out of the federal government just so happens to weaken government power over billionaires like him. What an incredible string of coincidences we've had here.

They're dismantling the agency that can, if it did robust enforcement, fill the deficit. For every $1 it spends on enforcement it generates $5-$9 in revenue. We lose ~1 trillion dollars each year to tax fraud, mostly from the rich. Musk paid no income tax in 2021 www.propublica.org/article/the-...

Greg Morton and Liz Bowie did such a great job on this story. In Baltimore City, students must rely on our notoriously disconnected transit system to reach school. it takes hours, restricts their ability to get to the best schools with the most AP courses, and win acceptances to the best colleges.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Trying to drive a wedge between Trump and Musk won't work. Trump's desires are revenge, money and freedom from jail. And he hates hard work. Musk does the heavy lifting while helping Trump achieve his desires. The only way out of this is to fight the fascists as the unified mob that they are.

Just for reference: South Africa's Expropriation Act is no worse than eminent domain in the U.S., and it exists because 7% of the population owns 70% of the private farmland, the direct result of a 1913 law that stole the land from Black South Africans. And South Africa hasn't even used it yet.

Any "celebrity" (and I use the term very, very loosely) like "Dr. Phil" who go along on rides to deport people, is a POS. It's that simple. If your idea of entertainment is to ride along on a spectacle of human rights violations, dig a hole and crawl in. Stay there.

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.
