The IRS has collected $160 million in back taxes so far this year by cracking down on millionaires who haven’t paid what they owe.

This is why IRS funding is a good thing.

It means the agency can finally go after the real freeloaders in America: the super-rich.

Tuesday GOP Rep. Rick Allen told Majority Whip Tom Emmer that he needs to "get right with Jesus" because of his vote for the #RespectForMarriageAct and minutes later Emmer was out after GOP House members said Emmer's vote was a dealbreaker.
Please don't ignore this.

So if Jordan becomes Speaker, and negotiations with Biden and Democrats aren’t going his way, should they expect death threats?

Dangerous moment for the country.

Jim Jordan believes that a 10-year-old rape victim should be forced to give birth. That's who the @HouseGOP has nominated for Speaker.

Extremism or bipartisanship – that's the choice on the Floor right now.

[Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner]

Jim Jordan and the OSU abuse scandal:
- 177+ students abused over 20 years (Jordan was there for 7)
- 6+ alleged Jordan knew about it
- Their accusations are direct ("I told him") and under oath
- Jordan refused to cooperate with investigators
- Jordan is named in the lawsuit

[Tom Joseph @TomJChicago]

A reminder that Jim Jordan called a 10 year old rape victim, a liar. Then he deleted his tweet, and never apologized after the rapist was arrested and confessed. Jordan is a coward and a colossal piece of shit.

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

Hamas ≠ All Palestinians
Hamas ≠ All Arabs
Hamas ≠ All Muslims

Those who favor peace and preserving life will stand against Hamas.

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

The occupation is horrible and unjust.

Hamas is monstrous, and has been a terrible peace partner, actively harming Palestinian cause.

Netanyahu is a thug and criminal.

The kidnap, rape and murder of civilians, no matter who’s doing it, is terrorism.

Are we all clear on this?

[Dov Waxman @DovWaxman]

To the people celebrating the mass murder of Israeli civilians, you have lost your humanity. To the people enthusiastically calling for Israel to decimate Gaza, densely populated with 2 million Palestinian civilians, you have lost your humanity. Israelis and Palestinians are real people, just like you and me.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Enough lies. Here are the facts.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Lessons MAGAs Are Teaching Their Children:

People don't matter.
The Law is irrelevant.
Diversity is dangerous.
Compassion is a flaw.
America is the world.
Women are less-than.
Whiteness is better.
Religion is a prop.
When in doubt, lie.

Breaking ABC: Months after leaving office, Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with a member of Mar-a-Lago — an Australian billionaire who then allegedly shared the information with scores of others. https://t.co/GnNWHB8Max

@NRCC geez, you're desperate.

[jahm @Jenahm18]

@RepLuna You are a lunatic.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Just a reminder that with the *exact same margin* that Republicans currently have, Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure package, gun safety law, PACT Act, CHIPS Act, and reauthorized VAWA.

Republicans can't even choose a Speaker.
