Beware An Unprecedented IRS Intrusion đŠ đ”

Democrats are coming for your walletâand not just by taking more in taxes. They want to unleash IRS hounds to scrutinize any transaction Americans make that costs more than $600.
How are Dems trying to justify this invasion of almost every American familyâs financial privacy? They say more IRS snooping would generate $460 billion to help pay for their $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. Problem #1: Americans (especially conservative ones) have legitimate reasons to distrust the IRS. This move would just give the tax bureaucrats more power to abuse. Problem #2: No matter how much money this scheme raises, the fact that liberals would use it to fund their grab bag of socialist policies is bad news.Â
The GOP didnât hesitate to condemn this attack on taxpayersâ privacy. As Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) rightfully said, âThe IRS has no business knowing when you spend $600.â

Court Packing Hits A Hurdle đ§
The leftâs dangerous court-packing ploy just slammed into a roadblock.
In April, President Joe Biden appointed a commission to âstudyâ court packing. Now, its members are throwing cold water on the idea. They warned that expanding the Supreme Court âwould be perceived by many as a partisan maneuverâ that would âundermineâ the Courtâs legitimacy. Theyâre right. The only question is why it took them six months of âstudyingâ to determine these obvious truths.
Unsurprisingly, the far left has only upped the ante to pack the Court. In response to the commissionâs findings, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) and three other Democrats urged Congress to pass court-packing legislation. If lawmakers care at all about preserving justice in America, they wonât listen.
