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.

Wild how some of the biggest Yellowstone fans don’t realize the Trump admin is making the largest land grab—including actual Yellowstone. Your favorite show is about fighting to keep the land, and you’re missing that you’re about to lose yours in real life. How do you miss that? #landgrab
