Donald Trump illegally fired 19 inspectors general. The law requires notice to Congress and a case-by-case justification. It is not optional. Congress must convene a bipartisan hearing to examine these unlawful acts and how they can be remedied. Immediately.

Welp, another dog sent to the bridge today. She was my oldest and deteriorated steadily from this pic 6 months ago. A friend of mine who passed a few years ago was her favorite person, so now they're together again.
