Twitter has been ruined, so I am here now. :)

I like to do 3d modeling and animation in Blender and make music.

- Career civil servants all over the place are using what power they have to refuse illegal orders and keep the federal government running.

(That said, their power is limited and they need backup. Call your reps.)

“I recommend that you reach out to White House Counsel to discuss your intended course of action. At this point, we do not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient to dismiss Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed Inspectors General.”
COUNCIL OF THE INSPECTORS GENERAL ON INTEGRITY AND EFFICIENCY January 24, 2025 Mr. Sergio Gor Director of Presidential Personnel The White House Dear Mr. Gor: I am writing in response to your email sent to me and other Inspectors General earlier this evening wherein you informed each of us that "due to changing priorities, your position as Inspector General ... is terminated, effective immediately." As Chairperson of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), I recommend that you reach out to White House Counsel to discuss your intended course of action. At this point, we do not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient to dismiss Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed Inspectors General. Specifically, based upon the 2022 amendments to the Inspector General Act of 1978, the President must notify Congress 30 days prior to removal of an IG and provide "substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons" for such removal. 5 U.S.C. § 403(b), as amended by the section 5202(a) of the Securing Inspector General Independence Act of 2022 (Title LII, Subtitle A, of P.L. 117-263, 136 Stat. 2395, 3222). The requirement to provide the substantive rationale, including detailed and case specific reasons, was added to better enable Congress to engage on and respond to a proposed removal of an Inspector General in order to protect the independence of Inspectors General. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at Hannibal. Ware@sba.gov. Sincerely, Hannibal "Mike" Ware CIGIE Chairperson
