Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

In a reported executive order, President #Trump plans to fire the Postal Board of Governors and place the agency under the control of the Department of Commerce.

Stand with letter carriers and all postal workers and make a call to House Speaker Mike Johnson.

🚨 The White House is expected to issue an executive order TODAY to dismantle the United States Postal Service.

Call Speaker Mike Johnson and tell him to say HELL NO to this order, and to support letter carriers and postal workers.

According to a new study eight states will suffer the MOST under Trump's tariffs. Half of these went "Red" last November. Well Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Wyoming - sucks to be you.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
