This action is illegal and violates IRS regulations—specifically 26 U.S. Code § 6103, which protects the confidentiality of taxpayer information. To make it happen, Trump removed the top IRS lawyer and replaced them with a loyalist.

Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.

“He told agents they had the wrong guy, but they aggressively ordered him to get on the ground. They didn’t allow him to show ID to prove he’s a citizen and instead they grabbed him, put him face down on the pavement, handcuffed him and took out his wallet.”

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Let's repeat it for folks in the back.
When Bill Clinton cut 300,000 + jobs from the federal workforce, he did it with the APPROVAL of Congress after review and a VOTE!
He did NOT illegally take it upon himself to drastically slash entire agencies and programs - with NO plan for continued service.
