Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

The IRS is a tax agency we have to interact with, and also a key means that a lot of safety net programs (EITC, CTC) are delivered.
Since Trump took over, the IRS has
*lost 3/4ths of agency leadership
*one quarter of employees
*is now on its 8th leader
New leader has no experience, also leading SSA
The stakes are high. The IRS was responsible for collecting $5 trillion in revenue in 2024. The agency received about 160 million individual income tax returns and issued around 100 million refunds, with an average refund of about $3,000. Those dollars represent essential funds for lower-income households, many of whom are already bearing the burden of higher prices and the illegal withholding of SNAP benefits this fall. If the IRS falters, millions of Americans will feel real economic pain.

12) With the way the CR/minibus fight ended, real doubts about whether the Dems are smart... at least their leadership. Republicans negotiated good cop, bad cop, crazy cop.

What was the Dem ldrship negotiating strategy? Pretend to be one way to the public and another in private. Not good.
