The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Gift Monday scores Washington Spirit’s first hat trick since 2015 in 4-0 defeat of Houston Dash
Washington Spirit clinched a playoff spot in an exciting 4-0 win at home over Houston Dash on Sunday afternoon, thanks to a hat trick by a Gift Monday who keeps on giving and an extra goal from Sofia Cantore. The hat trick was Washington's first since 2015 in NWSL play and the fastest (from kickoff to third goal) in league history.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

This crystallizes the incredible shrinking Congress under Trump: MAGA Republicans think that public employees should not communicate with Congress even when members of Congress make clear that they want to hear from them.
Because they believe legislative oversight of Trump is fundamentally wrong.
