1. John Walsh has announced his candidacy for Denver District Attorney.  He would be an excellent choice.  He ran years ago when the insufferable Mitch Morrissey won (essentially, Walsh and Beth McCann split votes, and Morrissey was the lucky recipient of the higher vote total because of that).  John was U.S. Attorney for Colorado in the Obama Administration.  Great attorney and person.

2. MAGA Mike and House Republicans want to cut IRS funding in order to send funds to Isreal because they're fIsCaLlY rEsPoNsIbLe…

   …the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday that cutting $14.3 billion from the IRS would increase the deficit by almost $12.5 billion over the next 10 years.

   So instead of offsetting the $14.3 billion that House Republicans wants to send to Israel, and making the bill budget neutral, the combination of sending aid and cutting IRS funding would add a total of about $26.8 billion to the deficit over a decade, according to the CBO.

      1. Don't be obtuse. It's simple economic theory if you cut the number of income tax agents then more people will cheat on their taxes which will be morey money in the economy which means they will pay more in taxes. 

         If you want money for Taiwan Republicans can cut CHIPs and Ukraine we could cut CIA agents and just hire FSB case officers directly.
