Itโs a huge mistake for Donald Trump to fire thousands of IRS workers while people are filing their taxes.
But donโt just take my word for it โ seven former heads of the IRS, including Trumpโs first term pick, are ringing the alarm bell.

Elon is firing HUNDREDS of highly skilled workers at Bonneville Power Administration.
Engineers, dispatchers, lineworkers. These positions are funded by PNW ratepayersโNOT from federal funding.
It doesn't save taxpayers a DIME! Our grid is at risk because Elon doesn't have a CLUE what BPA is.
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

โThe purpose of this exercise of free speech is to disrupt without violence and draw attention to the fact that public lands in the United States are under attack,โ it reads. โThe Department of the Interior issued a series of secretarial orders that position drilling and mining interests as the favored uses of Americaโs public lands and threaten to scrap existing land protections and conservation measures. Firing 1,000s of staff regardless of position or performance across the nation is the first step in destabilizing the protections in place for these great places.โ โThese losses, while deeply personal and impactful, may also be invisible to visitors and members of the public โ we are shining a spotlight on them by putting a distress flag on El Capitan in view of Firefall. Think of it as your public lands on strike.โ
