The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce.

Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year.

I've been emailing my elected officials. I keep the content short, the language and topic similar to what I would say in public and ask for something. What do others do?

I'm making the move! It will take me some time to get up to speed. Or half speed.
