Jack, Republican lies and disinformation are leading to rising political violence. The January 6 insurrection was a direct result of the Big Lie. Now, the FBI has received increasing attacks and threats since they conducted a search warrant of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for classified documents, including an attack by one Trump supporter on an FBI field office in Cincinnati, OH.

This is all because of Republican lies attempting to normalize corruption, protect Trump from taking responsibility for his actions, and discredit American institutions.

Now, congressional Republicans are inciting violence through more lies and disinformation simply because they don’t like Democrats’ new health, climate change, and tax law that gives the IRS the resources it needs to hold wealthy and corporate tax cheats accountable.

The truth is that Democrats’ new Inflation Reduction Act will increase IRS funding by $80 billion over 10 years to modernize its technology, improve customer service, and crack down on millionaire and billionaire tax cheats who aren’t paying $160 billion in taxes each year that they already owe.

Numerous fact check services have debunked Republican claims about the $80 billion in new funding for the IRS creating a “shadow army of 87,000 IRS agents.”

In order to avoid another violent attack on our democracy, we must demand social media companies, including Facebook, crack down on Republican lies and disinformation about the modernization of the IRS.
