NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

“Trump scoffed that U.S.A.I.D. was ‘run by radical lunatics.’ Is it radical lunacy to try to save children’s lives? To promote literacy for girls? To fight blindness?”
