that’s basically what I’ve been getting out of Vox’s The Logoff newsletter www.vox.com/pages/logoff... definitely interested to hear what other people are utilizing as well!

Welcome to The Logoff. Today, I want to focus on Donald Trump’s decision to fire more than a dozen internal government watchdogs, a move that has real implications for government accountability — and checks on Trump’s power.

What just happened? On Friday, Trump fired a dozen or more inspectors general, internal watchdogs tasked with investigating federal inefficiency, incompetence, and corruption. Trump did not give a reason for the dismissals, nor did the administration provide a list of who was fired. (That’s why the exact count of fired officials has varied by news outlet.)

Why does this matter? Inspectors general are a thorn in the side of administrations, as they often uncover practices that are embarrassing (or worse) to the president and his appointees. But they are a necessary check on the abuse of power, as their broad oversight authority — and, critically, their independence — helps them reveal errors and malfeasance. In a massive government moving around trillions of dollars, that’s critical, as there’s plenty of potential for waste and plenty of incentives for corruption.

Can Trump do this? It’s complicated. Congress passed a law in 2022 requiring the president to give a rationale (and 30 days’ notice) to Congress before firing an IG. Trump’s Friday night firings — which included neither notice to Congress nor a specific rationale — pretty clearly violate that law. However, some legal experts don’t believe the 2022 law is constitutional, and so it will likely fall to the courts.

Is this normal? No. It’s not unheard of for a president to fire an IG. Joe Biden fired the IG of a federal railroad board after an investigation found the IG had created a hostile work environment (though some congressional Republicans found fault with Biden's stated rationale). Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan fired IGs as well. But by ignoring the law to fire more than a dozen IGs on his first week, Trump is engaging in a naked power grab.

the power fantasy 5 spoilers but aaaaaaa the muskification of jacky magus

Three panels from The Power Fantasy #5
Jacky Magus: 2000 is an election year.
The President: You're British. You can't be president.
Jacky Magus: Yeah, I know. Doesn't matter if there's no Britain anymore. But I figure we'll work something out...

A screenshot of a tumblr post by wecamebackforyou dated May 11, 2016. It has a picture of John Boyega in his Finn costume, smiling. Captioned: In case you’re having a bad day, here’s a ridiculously beautiful photo of John I found when making a finnrey aesthetic. Let it brighten and bless.
