The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

The amount of info available solely in public records that will enable the administration to use the IRS & DOJ persecute anyone who’s ever supported a Democratic candidate (FEC records) or cause the admin opposes (tax deductions for donations to NAACP, Greenpeace, Amnesty, etc) is enormous.
