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.

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.

Dollar Confidence Crisis Is Here, Deutsche Bank Warns
By WSJ Staff
The broad selloff in U.S. stocks and bonds, and the continuing decline in the dollar, represents a
"simultaneous collapse in the price of all U.S. assets," analysts at Deutsche Bank said Wednesday. They warned that "unchartered territory" lies ahead.
• Markets are dedollarizing, they said, citing the lack of evidence that investors are hoarding dollar liquidity- a dynamic that in previous market routs fueled Treasury and U.S. dollar rallies but this time is leading to declines in the prices of both.
• The administration is encouraging the Treasury selloff, they said, in a bid to bring down U.S. asset valuations-a decision they said now is exposing the fact that "reducing bilateral trade imbalances is functionally equivalent to lowering demand for U.S. assets as well."
• A financial war with China could lie ahead, they conclude, contending that "there is little room now left for an escalation on the trade front" and that
"there can be no winner to such a war."

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.
