This action is illegal and violates IRS regulations—specifically 26 U.S. Code § 6103, which protects the confidentiality of taxpayer information. To make it happen, Trump removed the top IRS lawyer and replaced them with a loyalist.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

We need to stop the Save Act. It is utter bullshit. Of course my name isn't the same as my birth certificate, I got married. So only my husband can vote for the family??? Fuck that #Resist #HandsOff
Attached is my 4/5 Hands Off protest sign.

Donald Trump says he’d “love” to send American citizens to a Salvadoran gulag.

This is unconstitutional. Full stop.

Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.

Let's repeat it for folks in the back.
When Bill Clinton cut 300,000 + jobs from the federal workforce, he did it with the APPROVAL of Congress after review and a VOTE!
He did NOT illegally take it upon himself to drastically slash entire agencies and programs - with NO plan for continued service.

People can choose to protest wherever they happen to be that weekend. Traveling doesn't exclude people who want to protest.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

“tariffs could create short-term economic pain, which the president has likened to a “sick” patient receiving a painful yet necessary medical operation.”

If you're in the NW Chicago suburbs, come out and join us! They're requesting that participants RSVP, and that people park away from the storefronts to not interfere with store traffic.

I'm getting my passport renewed, but it shouldn't cost $150-170 in fees for someone to vote!
