National Whistleblower Day is a time to recognize the courage of those who speak up in the face of wrongdoing.

Whistleblowers play a vital role in safeguarding our democracy, rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, and holding our government accountable.

Yesterday, Robert Storch and I were guests on @msnbc.com's The Briefing with Jen Psaki discussing why it’s so important to the American people that IGs have integrity, competence, courage, independence, and a commitment to nonpartisanship. #InspectorsGeneral #watchdogsnotlapdogs

I’ll be on an @msnbc.com Town Hall tonight sharing my thoughts on what the firing of Inspectors General like me means for Americans. IGs are the watchdogs inside of government rooting out corruption, fraud, waste, and mismanagement. I hope you’ll tune in and let me know what you think. #100days #IG
