In 2022, only 13% of people who called the IRS managed to talk to a live person. The average wait time was 27 minutes.
In 2023, 87% of the callers got through. Wait times were cut to 4 minutes.
Funding the IRS doesn’t just help catch rich tax cheats. It’s helps every taxpayer.

$10.2 billion.
That is the projected amount that will be spent on political advertising during the 2024 election.
This would make it the most expensive election in history.
Good god, do we need to overturn Citizens United.

#TrumpDerangementSyndrome
A disease Trump supporters have which causes them to believe his thousands of lies, accept multiple unsupported conspiracy theories, excuse all his offenses and crimes, and vote against their own interests.

If you believe windmills cause cancer, Trump University was legit, the Rev. War was fought with planes, nuking a hurricane can change its course, exploding trees cause wildfires & Trump posts the truth on Truth Social, you're in a cult.

So let me get this straight. Gov. Abbott of TX says he’ll defy federal law because an “invasion” has happened at the border, but the GOP refuses to fix the border because that would hand Biden a political win? Have I got that right?

How much will it take for Trump to stop defaming E. Jean Carroll? Yesterday, Trump again posted this was all "fabricated lies." A jury already found he committed sexual assault and awarded $5 mil. But that wasn’t enough! So how much will it take? A great question for the jury.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
