The list of measures purpose-built to cleave off a domain in which the #law does not apply grows by the day: the #pardons that bless & invite #insurrectionary #violence; the #purges of career lawyers at the #DOJ & #SDNY, #InspectorsGeneral across the govt, & snr #FBI agents; the AG’s command that attys obey #Trump over their understanding of the #Constitution; the appointment of people such as #KashPatel & #DanBongino, who…view loyalty to Trump as more compelling than their constitutional oath;

#Trump has also tried to remove more than a dozen #InspectorsGeneral, as well as members of the National #Labor Relations Board [#NLRB] & the #Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [#EEOC]. Many of the ousted ofcls are contesting their removals in court.

In addition to fighting his own ouster, Dellinger has been arguing that the admin’s #MassFirings of probationary #FederalWorkers is illegal.

#wethePeople pursuing the #ukraineorRussia, yes or no, “which side are you on, Senator? Congressman”? Line of inquiry in town halls. Go after this, people, because no one else will.

#doj, #dod are dismantling every single safeguard against #russia (including #cisa). Russia, which spends way more than its tiny economy can afford trying to take his country apart. Effortless now with #tusk,#jdcouch, and no #jag lawyers, #inspectorsGeneral or other speed bumps.

US District Judge Ana Reyes, appointed by Biden, refuses to immediately reinstate #InspectorsGeneral fired by Trump, excoriating their lawyers for waiting 3wks to file emergency relief.

Won't link to the conservative Washington Examiner gleeful report. No doubt RW media will be all over it.

What might acct for Judge Reyes' unnecessarily humiliating words?

Maybe she feels a target on her back? You bet the judge:

Amazing how brazen the lies are getting. #Rubio claims #USAID was shut down because of "insubordination", as if they were somehow cutting checks they didn't have the authority to. Or something.

Absolute total bullshit. What they're supposed to cut the checks for, and who should receive them is all in the laws and the regulations and accounted for very closely. This is not something anybody can (well, maybe NOW they can) walk in and just cut a check and hand it out with nobody noticing.

Now we know why the #InspectorsGeneral were fired: because the ones who were there could have told people Rubio is a lying piece of shit, lying for his boss the grand piece of shit.

The IGs were originally hired because most of them actually had some integrity (which is a reason Biden went ahead and kept them around).

Now, integrity is a problem. To get the public on board, he has to lie about what the government does...and the IGs had all the evidence that claims like this are lies.

Attack on #Science – #InspectorsGeneral Play an Important Role in Maintaining #ScientificIntegrity. They were Just Fired
If federal employees, including federal scientists, are concerned about waste, fraud, or abuse of actions and policies, they can raise concerns to IG’s office. For scientific integrity policy, if a scientist is being censored or told to manipulate their scientific work to meet political goals, their first stop should be raising the concern/

Gotta protect this one from the Memory Hole:

#OrangeHitler fired 18 #InspectorsGeneral from various agencies.

IG's are independent Department Watchdogs first put in place after Watergate to look out for corruption & abuse of power in those agencies.

As Stephen Colbert joked: "T**** is only doing this b/c he's so humble, he doesn't want anyone reporting when he does good." 😞

“U.S. President Donald Trump's administration fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies late on Friday, the Washington Post reported.

The agencies include the departments of defense, state, transportation, veterans affairs, housing and urban development, interior, and energy, the newspaper said” 🤬
