@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

"Trump owns this, Elon owns this, and all of those spineless GOP Senators who greenlit Sean Duffy own this... We can barely go a day without a plane crashing.
