For decades, undocumented immigrants have trusted the IRS when it encouraged them to file. They've paid taxes in good faith, contributing nearly $100 BILLION per year and supporting social services they can't even access.
Not only is this a total betrayal, but it's also illegal. We'll fight this.

The IRS has agreed to share information with ICE to help locate people for deportation, court records show, a fundamental change in how the tax collector uses its tightly regulated records. nyti.ms/3XQ9vWk

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning

4th down day. Tariffs start 2nite. Tomorrow is the day that the market or the felon will blow up, possibly both. Krasnov will never admit he's wrong, and now he has given China a chance to sell to the world as well as take over Taiwan, which the genius will do nothing. Here comes the $4500 Iphone!

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.
They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.
And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

I have a confession to make.
I have helped Greece rip off the US for years because I buy olive oil from the Peloponnese.
I also prefer Parmesan Reggiano, so I contributed to the Italian theft of American money.

So the orange village idiot, is spending $120,000,000 on a military parade for his birthday.
In true dictator style.
A military parade for a man who called military dead, ‘suckers and losers’.
Who doesn’t want injured vets near him, because they make HIM look bad.
Fuck no.

The GOP's nostalgia for manufacturing jobs is telling. In reality, their parents and grandparents enjoyed a "good life" because of unions, pensions, high marginal tax rates, and strong social policies — with a little post-War exceptionalism and a lot of racism and sexism thrown in.
