Fox News: DeSantis says he would welcome bill to abolish 'corrupt' IRS: 'We need something totally different'
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has expressed support for abolishing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and replacing it with something "more favorable" to taxpayers. DeSantis, who announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 this week, has previously criticized the IRS for its purportedly unfair treatment of the middle class. He has supported the Fair Tax Act, which seeks to replace all federal taxes with a lower tax and end the IRS. DeSantis also denounced an effort by the Biden administration last year to expand the IRS with 87,000 new agents, calling it a "middle finger to the American public."
Newsbusters: NBC, CBS Echo Dems On GOP's 'Cruel' Work For Welfare Debt Limit Demand
CBS and NBC news shows displayed a bias towards Democrats in covering the negotiations between the White House and House Republicans over raising the nation’s debt limit. Both networks failed to provide Republican statements in support of work requirements for certain welfare programs, while Democrats were given an emotional appeal with no corresponding Republican perspective. CBS correspondents gave more aggressive coverage on the issue, but failed to provide a positive statement for work requirements to balance the Democrats' disapproval. ABC’s Good Morning America played it more neutrally, acknowledging welfare requirements as a “major sticking point”.

Red State: Indian Official Suspended for Some Reason After Draining Entire Reservoir Just to Retrieve His Phone
Rajesh Vishwas, a government official in India, dropped his expensive Samsung phone into a reservoir while taking a selfie. Unable to retrieve it, he paid to have the reservoir drained using a diesel pump. The mission was stopped following a complaint, and Vishwas is now suspended while an inquiry is underway. It should be noted that the phone was too waterlogged to work and his claim of having sensitive government data on the phone means little if it is unusable. This could be a case of a government official abusing his power for a meaningless task.
