You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Headline 2: One-third of Americans skip meals or other needs to afford health care. The polls' findings paint a stark picture of how rising medical costs are impacting Americans' daily lives.

And to be clear, everyone was very aware that this was illegal, but Trump officials and DOGE didi it anyway. Multiple IRS acting commissioners were removed when they raised concerns. Pretty much the entire C-suite resigned. From last year: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/this-tax-d...
Trump has nominated Billy Long, a Congressman with no experience running a large organization, to lead the IRS. The outgoing Commissioner Danny Werfel offered to stay in the position until the new Commissioner was in place. But Trump’s Treasury appointees would not meet with him. So he resigned. He was replaced by an acting Commissioner, a career official named Doug O’ Donnell. O’ Donnell was out just after a month, after he rejected calls to share IRS data. Next up was acting Commissioner Melanie Krause. She was seen as more aligned with DOGE, and put the Chief Human Capital Officer on administrative for not being responsive enough to DOGE. Krause resigned in early April after DHS succeeded in accessing IRS data.

The fourth IRS Commissioner since January is already out. Gary Shapley was installed in the position by Elon Musk without the knowledge or agreement of Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary who oversees IRS. Shapley was announced for the position on April 16, and out by April 18 after Bessent pushed back against Musk usurping his powers. Musk has since attacked Bessent on social media. He will be replaced by another acting Commissioner until Billy Long is confirmed.

So: the IRS is on its fifth Commissioner in three months.

And no Chief Human Capital Officer. The Acting Chief Counsel was replaced with someone more DOGE-friendly after he resisted DOGE requests for data. Oh, and a few other people resigned after the privacy violations occurred. The Chief of Staff. The Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Risk Officer. The Chief Privacy Officer. The Chief Information Officer and his two deputies.
