IRS CEO Frank Bisignano says the Trump admin is proving that the agency can have "less people and better results." But over the last month, I spent hours on hold with the IRS trying to fix a tax problem the agency caused--and no one ever answered. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Today is the Utah primary. And it will be interesting! The red state will probably nominate a Democrat who will win in November now that it has eliminated partisan gerrymandering. That vote could help determine which party controls Congress. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 1/
In this Utah primary, Trump endorsed one candidate, pardoned the other--and they both have ties to rogue Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his clan www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Billionaires know just how they want Supreme Court justices to rule—and are spending big to tell them www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
My mom used to do this. Of course, she lived in memory care.

The Kennedy Center was part of DC life. Trump destroyed it--but a federal judge today said that he at least has to take his name off the place. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The maximum TANF benefit for a poor family of is $215 a month.
Aaron RuparBessent: "Look, for many families, it's not nothing, but it's been less than $200 in extra gasoline costs"
For those of us who live in DC, the Kennedy Center wasn't just another white-marbled monument. It was part of our community life--until Trump destroyed it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump and the pro-Israel billionaires can take credit for bringing down Thomas Massie yesterday. But when I was in Kentucky reporting on him, I met a LOT of people who really disliked him for reasons that had little to do with Trump www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
You mean those people who wanted to hang Mike Pence?
Aaron RuparJD Vance: "You know who never, ever gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to disproportionate sentencing? People who voted for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6 protest."
A Kentucky primary has become a MAGA reality show from hell www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
It's funny how the billionaires don't mind losing money on their sucky vanity projects but when real journalists they employ do real work and it costs money it's a trigger for massive layoffs.
The New RepublicBezos’s new opinion section has 515 YouTube subscribers. CBS News is at historic ratings lows. The Daily Wire is shedding audience. The billionaires paying for all of it say it doesn’t matter. trib.al/H1LFndd
One thing I think is lost in all the national focus on Rep. Thomas Massie's primary and Trump's attack on him. His district has chronically low voter turn out, so the old adage about "all politics is local" will be especially true in Massie's primary Tuesday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Junior members of Congress often live in their DC offices to save money. Budget hawk and Trump nemesis Thomas Massie (R-KY) lived in a congressional parking lot for 2 years in an F-250 camper tricked out with solar panels and a mini split. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump loves to claim that he has great genes because his uncle was an MIT professor. GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, the man who forced Trump to release the Epstein files, actually went to MIT. And now Trump is trying to oust him in the May 19 KY primary: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
