Trump and his billionaire cronies are hard at work on destructive actions that threaten people’s safety and the very foundations of our democracy. In the past week alone he has:
✓ Pardoned violent January 6 insurrectionists,
✓ Attempted to end birthright citizenship — a constitutional right,
✓ Deployed another 1,500 troops to the Southwestern border,
✓ Cast government contracts and federally funded programs into utter chaos,
✓ Suspended funding for live-saving HIV/AIDS treatment, and
✓ Resumed sending 2,000-pound bombs to the Israeli government.
He’s only getting started. How do we know? Days ago, Trump also removed a vital layer of oversight by purging over a dozen Senate-confirmed government watchdogs across Defense, State, Transportation, Labor, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Energy, Commerce, Treasury, and Agriculture, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency, Small Business Administration, and the Social Security Administration.
Trump claims, “It’s a very common thing to do.” It isn’t. What it is, is illegal.
But don’t ask us. Ask Senators Adam Schiff and Lindsey Graham, who agree that Trump’s Inspector General (IG) purge violates U.S. law. What they don’t agree on is what comes next — and that’s where you come in.
A president can’t illegally dismiss officials designed to hold him to account without repercussions. Sign now to urge lawmakers to act.
