The chaos Congress is now in session. And its first order of business could make last week’s debacle look like a warm-up round. (via MaddowBlog)
The Washington Post’s Catherine Rampell last weekHouse Republicans might be struggling to choose a leader, but they already know what that leader’s first order of business will be: Defunding the police. Specifically, the tax police.
In reality, the IRS will be bolstered by new employees, but many of them will simply replace retiring workers, and many more will simply work in the building as IT technicians and folks who answer the phone. Repeating the lie about 87,000 new IRS agents doesn’t make it any less wrong. But even if we put all of these relevant details aside — we shouldn’t, of course, but if we did for the sake of conversation — there’s a bigger picture to consider. As weseveral months ago, according to McCarthy, the very first thing House Republicans want to do with power is, in effect, help criminals by defunding law enforcement.
