🚨Jasmine Crockett & Eric Swalwell begged House Judiciary Republicans to vote NO. They offered deals, sweeteners, the whole package. And those damn soulless traitors STILL voted to let Trump exile American citizens.

This isn’t just betrayal—it’s the birth of authoritarian rule.
Sound the alarm.🚨

Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this. 

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program.

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 $163B a year.

See what DOGE is really about?
