"This was something that was discovered by an undercover journalist, and what they have found is that the IRS claims they have access to every single person's bank account."

Hageman added, "This person also indicated that they have been working with the Department of Justice and that they have absolutely no problem going after the little guy to make sure that they are paying their taxes."
This is such a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment, that we, me and Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) have sent a letter to the IRS demanding that they provide additional information about what they are doing with AI and what they are doing to protect the civil rights of American citizens."
The clip caught many Americans' attention, including Tulsi Gabbard, who is expected to be confirmed as the next Director of National Intelligence by a Senate vote in the coming days.
Gabbard shared the video clip to her Instagram story:

This week, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was nearly eliminated, "but Secretary of State Marco Rubio approved less than 300 for exclusion from a broad policy that will put a large percentage of the 13,000+ workforce on administrative leave by Friday at midnight."
Given recent cuts, it's safe to assume that the IRS could be assessed by DOGE in the future for a restructure.
