Former Rep. Billy Long has been confirmed as the new head of the IRS. While in Congress, Long tried to abolish the agency. He's one of many Republicans who wants the IRS to lose capacity so that the rich can get away with paying fewer taxes. apnews.com/article/bill...

Trump's illegal use of “emergency” tariff authority is now extending to individual companies, which violates the Constitution’s prohibition on “bills of attainder.” This illustrates more clearly than ever why only Congress, and not Trump, should be allowed to levy tariffs and other taxes.

“I really think fraud is not a political issue … but now, it's become political,” says Linda Miller, who spent a decade at the Government Accountability Office. She says DOGE could save taxpayers a lot of money if it focuses on foreign adversarial nation-states and organized crime rings.

FEMA chief David Richardson just told his staff, “Don’t get in my way, I will run right over you.” at his introductory meeting. A threat to FEMA workers who might resist Trump’s agenda. What matters now is loyalty. Obey or get steamrolled. This is how authoritarianism works—one agency at a time.
