Looks like they did do something on those treasury and IRS computers after all.
Do I have to bury my money in the fucking back yard?

Genuinely suggesting the government might access your bank account and withdraw funds is fear mongering. I’m very aware of the disappointing and alarming things going on in this administration, but this is definitely not something that would happen to a civilian
“They would never arrest people with green cards”
“They would never send immigrants to Guantanamo”
“They would never cancel medicaid”
“They would never cancel cancer research”
“They would never drain congressionally-appropriated funds”
“They would never drain a civilian’s funds”
You think they’ll suddenly stop overstepping? You think they’ll suddenly grow a moral compass?
It’s not clear to me what they’ve done here is not worth fear mongering about. It looks extremely abnormal
Also the money came from the government in the first place. That’s a critical aspect to this.
All money comes from the govenment in the first place.
Yeah. But it makes several pitstops before hitting my bank account. The government pulling back a grant or funding is different than the government taking $500 from John Q Citizen’s account
John Q. (formerly Citizen) had citizenship revoked for refusing to demonise transpeople.
We simply removed an upto $500 amount to cover the administration costs of using X-Zen®.
Fear to what? Be in charge of your money?
When my dad died ss went into my parents joint bank account and withdrew the amount of his latest payment. It’s not just fear mongering. It is possible. I don’t think even this administration is ballsy enough to do it, though. The backlash would be enormous, and as another poster mentioned civil asset forfeiture already exists.
