In just a matter of days, Donald Trump has fired 18 Inspector Generals across our government – public servants whose sole mission is to ensure transparency and accountability in our federal agencies.
This is a blatant attack on the independent, nonpartisan officials who keep corruption in check. Trump’s move isn’t just unprecedented; it’s dangerous. It’s clear he wants a government without oversight – a government that answers only to him.
We cannot allow this.
The Inspector Generals are watchdogs who protect taxpayer dollars, prevent abuses of power, and ensure ethical behavior in government.
Removing them is a direct assault on democracy itself.
Washington State has always led the charge in standing up to Trump’s reckless agenda. Let’s send a resounding message that accountability matters, and we won’t stand by while Trump dismantles the very foundation of our democracy.
In solidarity,
