Barry Moore (AL-02) wrote an op-ed for the Washington Examiner attacking the Democrats\u2019 IRS snooping scheme. Moore explains why the ascendant progressive-led Biden coalition has chosen now to strike and why it\u2019s so important that we do not give an inch to the surveillance state.\n\nRep. Moore: We can\u2019t give an inch in IRS snooping fight\n\nDemocrats can camouflage their intent by claiming they are going after the \u201ctax gap,\u201d but the public can recognize a power grab when it sees one. A hypersensitivity to autocracy is in our DNA as a nation. And President Joe Biden\u2019s desire to spend $80 billion on a newly empowered army of auditors, with access to your gross transactions, is clearly a power grab...\n\nWith the IRS\u2019s long history of insecurity and political animosity, it does not matter if the overreaching comes from the Right or the Left. Schemes like this are wrong, and our civil society must demonstrate its disapproval.\n\nGo to WashingtonExaminer.com, Facebook, or Twitter for the full op-ed.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://barrymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-barry-moore-we-cant-give-inch-irs-snooping-fight"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6975189317017794, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
