Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies.
Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption.
Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025.

Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

This is what we mean when we talk about corporate greed: Starbucks gave its CEO $96 million for just 4 months of work. Meanwhile, Starbucks is refusing to offer a raise of more than 50 cents an hour to 12,000 union workers.
That's unacceptable. Starbucks must end their greed.

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.
