Minnesota moves closer to creating new office of inspector general A new watchdog agency faces an uncertain future as Minnesota lawmakers clash over what it should look like, but it took a crucial step forward on Tuesday.

DHS watchdog warns shutdown could imperil immigration enforcement oversight The lapse in funding is forcing the department’s inspector general to suspend the majority of its audits and probes.

I shared my views with @politico.com about how the partial government shutdown is throwing oversight at the Department of Homeland Security into peril and could jeopardize several ongoing key investigations.

Opinion | What Congress owes to the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti — and to all of us Mark Greenblatt: Distrust followed Minneapolis killings. Congress needs to act.

There’s much troubling news, but one move by DHS stopped me in my tracks. Threats to shut down audits & investigations by its IG are a shot across the bow to inspector general independence. youtu.be/-Opug8MWQxg

I participated in a @thedailybeast.bsky.social YouTube Live last week on the Signalgate IG report. The report is troubling & heartening: it reveals a leadership failure but government oversight is functioning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=681w...

Yes, enabling law enforcement to engage in officially sanctioned corruption … including the picking and choosing of criminal and civil targets in an arbitrary, politicized manner … is embarrassing indeed. #WithoutFearOrFavor

This country will be dealing with the consequences of Merrick Garland‘s epic failure for generations to come…

We may never recover.

Fulton County DA Fani Willis will never stop trying to hold Trump accountable for his crimes.

She is a rockstar here in Georgia. Stayed tuned.

I didn’t have a problem with the appointment of a republican Attorney General… Until he proved worthless.

Merrick Garland makes me sick.
SICK!

He was more concerned about appearing partisan than enforcing the law.

Now we pay the price for his weakness-and so will our allies and the world.

What a fucking failure.
