Under the terms of the deal, a redacted version of which was submitted in the case, #ICE ofcls can ask the #IRS for info about people who have been ordered to leave the US—or whom they are investigating.
Federal #law tightly controls #taxpayer info, protecting home addresses, earnings & other data from disclosure even to other agencies in the govt. IRS ofcls have for weeks warned that #Trump’s plan to use the IRS to help w/ #deportations could be #illegal.

@tomstafford Yeah, because they ripped off the authors; and the authors are scientists, so their home institutions pay, which in the end is #taxpayer money, as @druedin rightfully pointed out!
Some #DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries [what’s that about government waste again?]
Engineers & executives at #ElonMusk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing *healthy* #taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very #FederalAgencies they are cutting.

I wanted to play cards in the Oval Office. Zelly didn’t want to play. Didn’t even say thank you for me yelling at him. Ungrateful after all I’ve done for him. Making deals behind his back. Sitting down with putty. Invited him to the White House. Isn’t America great yet?

AP NewsLive updates: Trump meets with UK's prime minister Starmer about drifting US support for UkraineBritish Prime Minister Keir Starmer is visiting the White House on Thursday to try to convince President Donald Trump that a lasting peace in Ukraine will endure only if Kyiv and European leaders are at the table as negotiations move forward with Moscow.
The #House has passed the #Trump #budget blueprint 217 to 215.
1 Republican voted no Rep Thomas Massie of KY.
That said, this will not pass a vote in the #Senate, so it’s really just a waste of time by your State’s #taxpayer paid #Republican Representatives.
Included in this are cuts to #Medicaid & the earlier mentioned #slaughter of #WildHorses, among many other equally distasteful items.

On Sunday, WaPo reported that #DOGE is seeking access to a heavily guarded system at the #IRS w/detailed #financial #information about every #taxpayer, #business & #nonprofit in the country, & #ElonMusk’s associates have also sought access to sensitive information at the #Labor Dept.

The official said the “#DOGE mission … to bring much-needed efficiency to our bureaucracy” is being carried out “legally & with the appropriate security clearances.”
A #SecurityClearance is not a sufficient credential for access to #taxpayer systems, according to #IRS procedures. #IDRS access is governed by compelling needs for #tax administration, not #NationalSecurity.

…it’s highly unusual to grant political appointees access to #personal #taxpayer #data, or even programs adjacent to that data…. #IRS commissioners…do not have #IDRS access. The same goes for the national taxpayer advocate, the agency’s internal consumer #watchdog, acc/to Nina Olson, who served in the role from 2001 to 2019.

#DOGE staffer #GavinKliger
"Their interest... included the operation of enforcements, it included #taxpayer service in terms of function & the personnel footprint, & they wanted extensive system access...
Levels of data protection at #IRS are higher than other agencies. … Not only is improper disclosure #illegal, but improper inspection of #data internally is illegal"
