"IRS layoffs are underway as DOGE moves to eliminate 25 percent of the workforce. The tax agency will lose roughly 20,000 jobs, including workers in its civil rights office, as part of the Trump admin's downsizing of the government."
The oligarchs have impunity, but everyone else has to pay their taxes. The agency will no longer provide adequate service, & dedicated employees are fired, needlessly.

The #TrumpMusk regime is decimating the #VA.
These #DOGE operatives appear to have no work experience that’s remotely close to the VA in terms of its scale or complexity. VA: administers all the govt benefits afforded to vets/their families for ~10M ppl: EDU, loans, disab pymts, & HC. Lavingia is Gumroad's CEO, a platform that helps creatives sell their work & takes a cut of each sale. More recently, Lavingia launched Flexile, a tool to manage & pay contractors.
