He was being too nice to the IRS workforce, probably.

I guess Long didn’t show enough fealty to king Trump so he is out! What a clown show this administration is but they are getting away with it as no one can or will stop them. This is how our democracy dies!

A former auctioneer. No background in tax administration. Seemed like the perfect Trump appointment.

I'm guessing Trump demanded audits of political opponents and Long was going to have to personally sign to authorize those and he didn't want to do it so now he's out - or - Long is in the Epstein files.

*DO NOT* Update your phones. Our tech companies have betrayed us. Google, Apple, OpenAI, any big brand. Most of them are becoming defense contractors for the US military. All major updates have changed permissions. Making it so they can check your location, even if its off.

Don't get too excited. I note with caution that there is an opening in the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

When you are wholly unqualified to be in the Oval Office and all of your sycophants are wholly unqualified to be in government positions we get the shit show that gets shittier by the moment. At this point why would any immigrant think coming here is a good idea. Skip the US for Canada.

Given that he had zero experience in the tax field that'll be hard to do. But he'll probably find a way.

Scott Bessent will get the gig on top of Treasury. Just like Little Marco runs multiple agencies into the ground in parallel. And Long will get an ambassadorship to embarrass the US even more
