"Underage women" are girls.

I'm doing research on Direct File at the moment, and DOGE people at IRS did not understand that they were firing the best tech talent *because all of those were probationary.*

We still don't have a good number of how many people were purged and under what conditions. Fells like we should know that.
) How many people work at the IRS? A seemingly straightforward question, but the answer is far from obvious. Like other agencies, the IRS saw its staffing slashed this year, via processes so chaotic and disrespectful that thousands of skilled and dedicated employees fled the agency. IRS employees mostly have been pushed out through multiple interlocking strategies: the attempted firing of “probationary employees” (~7,000 employees); deferred resignations, voluntary early retirements and buyouts (~22,000 employees); and finally, attempted layoffs known as Reductions in Force (~1,700 employees, mostly during the shutdown). Another 3,000 employees left the agency this year outside of these pathways.

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.

Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."
From: Thomas Jr., Landon Sent: 9/27/2017 2:47:47 PM To: Subject: Got another call from Connelly.. Importance: High Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com] He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too. Anyway, for what its worth...
