We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.
🚨 WaPo EXCLUSIVE
Hours before Trump removed Billy Long as IRS commissioner, his agency clashed with the White House over sharing immigrants’ tax data.

IRS, White House clashed over immigrants’ data before tax chief was ousted
The Trump administration’s move to push out IRS Commissioner Billy Long came after the agency said it couldn’t release some information on taxpayers suspected of being here illegally.

It’s time to hold republicans accountable for inciting people to kill democratic officials.
A Minnesota state Senator and a state representative, former Speaker Melissa Hortman and state Senator John Hoffman, both Democrats, were shot in their homes this morning in what’s being called “targeted shootings.” www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

Impeachment articles on this alone should be submitted overnight. California should refuse cooperating with the federal government on anything. The legislature should pass a broad anti-commandeering law. And every governor worth their salt should fly to California and pledge mutual assistance.
Just to be clear, Governor Newsom hasn't broken any laws. If this line is crossed, and the President has a sitting governor arrested, then the choice for Democratic leaders, senior military officers and federal employees becomes one of accepting dictatorship or taking drastic action.

We are five months into this legislative term and three Democrats have already died in office.
All of them were in their 70s. The Democratic Party’s gerontocracy is a growing problem.
