We need to share something shocking: President Trump just fired 17 inspectors general across multiple federal agencies without notifying Congress 30 days in advance, as required by law.
These inspectors general are nonpartisan watchdogs. They’re the ones who uncover corruption, protect taxpayer dollars, and ensure accountability in our government. By removing them overnight, Trump has taken yet another brazen step to dismantle the checks and balances that hold power in check.
This is not just reckless — it’s illegal. And it’s terrifying.
Trump’s actions make one thing painfully clear: he will stop at nothing to consolidate his power. If we don’t act now, the damage to our democratic institutions could be irreversible.
