Elon Musk and DOGE have now started their efforts to crack down on arguably the most hated agency in the entire country, causing liberals to lose it all over again.
Reuters reported that Gavin Kliger, a key staffer working with Elon Musk in his efforts to downsize the federal government, entered IRS headquarters on Thursday to investigate the corrupt agency’s operations.
Sources told Reuters that Kliger had been meeting with multiple senior executives at the agency to learn more.
One can only imagine what nasty stuff Kliger and the rest of DOGE will discover. It’s a safe bet that documented political persecution against conservatives will be one of the items.
This development follows President Trump’s announcement during a news conference that he would be looking into the IRS.
Far-left Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) hit the panic button upon hearing the news of DOGE’s arrival.
“My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS,” he wrote on X. That means Musk’s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America.
“And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason,” the senator added.

Other leftists flipped out over the news of DOGE’s arrival as well.
Maybe this is how Musk knew about the personal finances of some of the civil servants he has targeted.

Your Senator & House Rep 202.224.3121 Muskrat & DOGE lackeys should be no where near the IRS & not have any access to taxpayer private data. #YourActionsYourPower https://t.co/wyRnDd8Dfd

Respectfully, Senator, they are not “henchmen.” Some of them are actually boys. Boys who are having sleepovers in government offices while they try to impress the richest man in the world with their loyalty. They are lawless and likely corrupt. Our information is in grave danger. ⚠️

@wyden.senate.gov Obstruct! Continuously demand quorum calls and object to unanimous consent. Stop all confirmations; put holds on every Trump nominee.
Investigate and stop Musk – NOW

They need to be stopped! We need Democratic leadership to start blocking the doors. No budget deals until Musk is stopped. Use whatever leverage we have to grind it to a halt.
