Under the plan, MAGA allies would be installed at the IRS criminal investigative division, where they would “exert firmer control over the unit and weaken the involvement of IRS lawyers in criminal investigations.”

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.
The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.
This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

For anyone who thinks there was no difference between the candidates on foreign policy. (Very much not the case) Trump just made clear he thinks Palestinians should leave Gaza and a Putin apologist is well on her way to overseeing US intelligence. A banner day!
