Both Stephen Miller and Jeffrey Clark have been saying that. They’re two of trumps top aides. Is something the have publicly stated they want the admin to do. First they said it for the southern border but they’ve also said protests like BLM should be enough to trigger the insurrection act.

politics @lemmy.world•Elon Musk’s handpicked IRS chief lasts just 72 hours
38·2 years agoRemember the last acting agent before this guy (sp four days ago) was Melanie Krause.
She stepped down rather than allow Americans private IRS filing data to be given to ICE. Scott bessett and Kristi noem signed that agreement without her knowing. She found out because it was on Fox News that the data had been given over. Again not clear that it was at all legal to do so.
Three days with this mini-mooch interim guy had at least one goal: (1) make the IRS remove Harvard’s statuses. He did that on day 1 of 3.
But possibly (2) could be just long enough to have approved other stuff that the serious acting admins wouldn’t do. Such as: additional data exfiltration by doge, more layoffs, or other sweeping decisions for political purposes…
Not sure if you’re putting a joke on a joke but these are the Three Stooges.
The constitution has plenty of checks for this and it starts with Congress (Article I).
Republicans can grow a spine and stop this today. They could have voted to impeach him twice. They don’t have to fund this! They choose to. This is the obeying in advance thing.
Three representatives in the house absolutely can pull a John McCain and 👎the slim margin and hold this up. From Rand Paul to Susan Collin’s and everyone in between they can find reasons to hold their vote and bring this action down. Just say hey they lied about social security or they lied about the tariffs and go from there.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Has Already Botched His Own Bad Tariff Plan
18·2 years agoThere is a plan. Replace as much of the government as possible with third party vendors run by loyal donors. Aka how they do it in Russia. once the old systems are gone Who’s gonna stop ya?
Here’s what they’re doing to the IRS with or without waiting for the lawsuits to end. (Just posted in another thread about the article it comes from):
The agency is expected to partner with a third-party vendor to manage certain aspects of the data project. Palantir, a software company cofounded by billionaire and Musk associate Peter Thiel, has been brought up consistently by DOGE representatives as a possible candidate, sources tell WIRED.

14·2 years agoThis is it. This is the big one.
The agency is expected to partner with a third-party vendor to manage certain aspects of the data project. Palantir, a software company cofounded by billionaire and Musk associate Peter Thiel, has been brought up consistently by DOGE representatives as a possible candidate, sources tell WIRED.
Two top DOGE operatives at the IRS, Sam Corcos and Gavin Kliger, are helping to orchestrate the hackathon, sources tell WIRED. Corcos is a health-tech CEO with ties to Musk’s SpaceX. Kliger attended UC Berkeley until 2020 and worked at the AI company Databricks before joining DOGE as a special adviser to the director at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Corcos is also a special adviserto Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
