A Weakened IRS Has Significant Consequences

DOGE turbocharged the deficit, achieving no savings. The IRS reductions from funding and layoffs have likely resulted in about $861 bn in decreased revenue. The layoffs from actions like DOGE alone have likely resulted in $597.8 bn in decreased revenue over the 2026-2035.

Right now, the conversation isn’t about nuclear programs, or free and fair elections in Iran. It's about reopening a body of water that was open before this war started. Chalk that up as a win for Tehran.

The Presidential Records Act isn’t complicated. It was passed after Watergate for a reason & it’s very clear about what belongs to the public & what doesn’t.

That’s what makes the new position DOJ is taking so disturbing. I explain here: joycevance.substack.com/p/killing-hi...

If you’ve followed me the past 4 years you know a central theme is:

Only in the Trump-era could school vouchers—born in resistance to Brown v Board and nurtured by billionaires—have hit their historical stride in a long con sold as racial opportunity and middle class hope.

The Trump budget calls to eliminate the Native Hawaiian education program but doesn't eliminate the Alaskan Native education program.

What's the difference, you might ask? One state voted for him, and one didn't.

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

American Conversations: Vanessa Williamson YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson

If 90% are willing to pay taxes, there's a lot here democrats can use to educate the public. I think Biden was trying, but didn't have the right language. "Taxation is the road to freedom."

Judge rules Trump order eliminating NPR, PBS funding is unconstitutional — The Washington Post A federal judge struck down part of Trump’s order cutting NPR and PBS funding, calling it viewpoint discrimination and a First Amendment violation.

The problem with waiting for the courts to push back on Trump is that the damage has often been done before any resolution.

Every day Pam Bondi doesn’t release the millions of Epstein files still being protected is another day when she is breaking the law passed near-unanimously. Why has she not been taken into custody for violating the Epstein Transparency Act?

Right, simply entertaining this challenge as if it's remotely legitimate is already discrediting.

If there's a single vote to end birthright citizenship, we need to take this Supreme Court apart with sledgehammers and start over.

The marches had no shortage of skeptics.
In Oxford, Miss,, Cass Rutledge, a first-year law student at the University of Mississippi, walked through the No Kings protest and around the town square on Saturday and questioned why people thought Mr. Trump was acting like a king.
"He is, you know, a duly elected president who won the popular vote and the electoral college in a landslide," Mr. Rutledge said.
"And so I'm a little bit confused on how he's acting differently than any other president."
He pointed to the stalemate in Congress over the SAVE America Act, the Republican-driven bill to tighten voter identification and registration rules, which Democrats have called an attempt to suppress turnout based on false claims of voting fraud. Mr. Rutledge said that Mr.
Trump was "going through the process" to try to get the legislation passed.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.)

But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

After over a month of delay, Senate Republicans finally came forward to do what we’ve been pushing for — fund TSA, Coast Guard, and other key elements of DHS while we keep pushing for reforms to ICE and CBP.

The House needs to get it done ASAP.

Everyone is always begging Trump for mercy. He put out a bunch of these when he was issuing tariffs on Truth Social last year - every country was supposedly begging him for a “deal.”
