Language matters- Two separate juries indicted Trump on a total 41 criminal charges

Too often, you will see dishonest framing saying "a prosecutor" or the "justice department" indicted Trump. That is an incorrect framing used by Trump supporters to help sell Trump's dishonest claim that being held accountable for his criminal actions is just some sort of political stunt

GOP's cut to IRS funding in debt limit plan would backfire

Congressional analysts say dinging the agency would put the U.S. $120B deeper in the hole.


Republicans say they’re trying to reduce government red ink but their demands to cut IRS funding as part of a debt limit deal would actually worsen the deficit.

Forecasters generally agree that beefing up tax enforcement is a money maker for the Treasury because auditors bring in far more cash than it costs to employ them.

Republicans’ proposal to rescind $71 billion in IRS funding pushed through by Democrats last year would cut projected tax receipts by $191 billion over the next decade, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates.

The result: The government would find itself an additional $120 billion in the hole.
