The continues to invent lies to prop up their fact-free worldview. It must be a constant struggle to make up nonsense to keep their fundamentally broken, anti-intellectual followers steeped in ignorance. To be clear, the media, including mainstream and progressive outlets covered Rep. 's factually baseless claims almost immediately. But that doesn't fit the narrative, so has made up this bullshit.

When the IRS is properly FUNDED, it works. The IRS collects revenue to make the USG function. Republicans purposefully underfunded the agency for years so their wealthy donors could underpay: (legal & illegal) methods. Dems must ensure that the IRS has enough funding & manpower, so they can go after TAX CHEATS, which means that honest Americans pay only their fair share. The taxpayer experience this year ‘vastly improved’ compared with 2022. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/21/taxpayer-experience-this-year-vastly-improved-compared-to-2022-report.html

As there’s an increasing need for workers, there’re fewer asylum seekers allowed an opportunity to gain asylum. It certainly seems political, & although many disagree with the Biden admin’s policy, it should meet the approval of Republicans, but they still lie & bash Biden for an open border. US rejects asylum seekers at much higher rates under new Biden policy:

Only 20 GOP Reps voted against censuring Rep Adam Schiff *for telling the truth. This vote demonstrates how radical the party has become. They no longer believe in the rule of law, democracy, decency...: The resolution would have called for the California Democrat to be fined $16 million, but it was tabled. 196 Republicans vote to censure Rep Adam Schiff for accurately describing Trump's Russia ties: https://americanindependent.com/republicans-vote-censure-adam-schiff/

Honestly can't believe I have to say this out loud, but it was Trump's CRIMES that "upended democratic norms," NOT THE INDICTMENT. All this vapid handwaving about norms is a blatant attempt to give a pass to some of the most treacherous criminals in America's history.

See, Republicans get EVERYTHING BACKWARDS:
—it’s not the ready availability & use of GUNS that turn people into hamburger
—it’s the poor people in need of government assistance (because their jobs don’t pay enuff to live on) that blow up the deficit
—it’s the weaponization of government that caused trump to be prosecuted for his theft of US documents, espionage, falsifying business records, and election interference.

No MOC, except SD GOP Rep Johnson, seems enamored with the debt ceiling deal. Is it better than nothing? Probably, but most Democrat & Republican MOC don’t like the details & it doesn’t actually reduce the deficit bc Republicans refuse to increase taxes. 🎁 https://wapo.st/42gfDGC

The border didn’t see a “major influx” of migrants when Title 42 ended. Although migrants lined up by the hundreds in El Paso & other border crossings as the public health order was winding down, a Biden admin official said there wasn’t a rush to the border. 150 migrants released by IMG agents are staying in a city-run shelter & a hotel. He added the city will try to do as much as possible to help prevent migrants sleeping on El Paso's streets-: https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/12/texas-border-immigration-title-42-migrants/
