Inspector Generals exist within each executive branch agency and investigate cases of misconduct, waste, fraud & other abuses occurring within the agency. internal watchdogs. So, why do we think FOTUS would want to get rid of them? It's a puzzler.🧵2/9 ignet.gov/content/missio…

Fun Fact: AFTER 2016 Election & shortly BEFORE 45 took office President Obama
@BarackObama signed the Inspector Generals Empowerment Act (introduced by Rep Elijah Cummings, who managed to get bipartisan support) Because they knew Inspectors General are so important. 🧵3/9

As GOP Senators try to explain why they don’t think #VotingRights are important, sharing here what each tweeted on #MLKDay
Find yours to retweet.
#MLK : “Our most urgent request to the president of the United States & every member of Congress is to give us the right to vote.”

@BerniceKing

But first, this message from, @BerniceKing
‘Please share this quote from my father #MLKDay2022 :
“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.”
