McCarthy’s sales pitch for his deal: Less money for law enforcement

The IRS has an unavoidable image problem and the House speaker knows it.

I’m done cross-posting @elementary to Twitter. I really hoped it would get better, but with the latest news of Elon promoting Ron DeSantis’ presidential run, I’m done. It’s become a far-right social network no different from Parlor or Truth Social and I won’t be a part of it.
