Within just moments of major news outlets declaring that Democrats will retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday night, MSNBC's Ari Melber reported that sources within the leadership of the party have already decided they will utilize their new-found check on President Donald Trump come January to demand the IRS hand over his long-concealed tax returns.
Watch Melber's report:

Earlier on election day, tax justice groups were among those arguing that finally getting a look at the president's returns should be a motivating factor for potential voters:
\u201cToday, we demand tax justice.\n\nToday, we demand a fair economy.\n\nToday, we demand a government that works for us.\n\nToday, we demand Donald Trump release his tax returns.\n\nToday, we vote. #ElectionDay\u201d— Unrig Our Economy (@Unrig Our Economy) 1541514120
\u201cWe vote.\nWe win.\nWe get the chicken in the white house's tax returns.\n \nI'll be there who's with me?\u201d— Mr Rigs The Corporate Fat Cat (@Mr Rigs The Corporate Fat Cat) 1541523228
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
