"The Internal Revenue Service is preparing to shed as much as 50 percent of its staff, according to four people familiar with the matter, a significant cut that could jeopardize the agency’s ability to complete its basic mission of collecting taxes.

The I.R.S. started the Trump administration with roughly 100,000 employees. It has already laid off more than 7,000 people who had recently joined the agency and had fewer job protections, and thousands more have taken Elon Musk’s offer to resign. Those cuts, as well as normal attrition, are expected to count toward the Trump administration’s goal of halving the number of people who work at the I.R.S., two of the people said.

... Leadership of the I.R.S. has been in turmoil, with two leaders stepping down under Mr. Trump. The current acting commissioner, Melanie Krause, put the chief human resources officer at the I.R.S. on administrative leave this week, according to two people familiar with the matter."
 
Well at least he wasn't dumb enough to schedule it at the same time as the UNC basketball game.

This is the first state of the union I've missed since trump was last president. I just cannot watch him lie and lie and lie. Plus, I basically hate the way he talks, his voice, his projections, his mannerisms, basically everything about the orange turd cult leader.

You guys let me know if he actually says something important.

Anyone who isn’t already tonguing Trump’s taint (see: ZZLP’s resident Trumper gooch guzzlers) who watches the joint address tonight is certifiable.

Kind of disrespectful to NYC who simply asked not to post stuff like this. You can pretty much get away with anything short of Shannon level stuff but she only had 1 request. Do better.

Truth be told, I kind of agree with you about his mannerisms and voice and his hyperbole. But, I’m hoping the zzzl watches because the best comments of the year come out on debate nights and sotu nights. And I mean that as a compliment to the ZZL. It brings it’s A game.

I'm in the hospital I doubt I have the channel available.

Plus, I don't want to upset my daughter when he starts his rant about LBGTQ people, my daughter is already worried that they are trying to negate her marriage.
