Are you aware there’s a media BLACKOUT underway to hide any & all protests against Trump & his MAGA thugs? Fortunately we have social media to capture the seismic crowds. Here’s one from the Veterans March at the U.S.Capitol last weekend. Repost, the world deserves to KNOW! ⬇️
BREAKING: Donald Trump's week kicks off with disaster as the former head of the government's whistleblower protection office hits him with an ironclad lawsuit for illegally firing him.
Trump messed with the wrong guy this time...
Hampton Dellinger, who was appointed by President Joe Biden to lead the Office of the Special Counsel, states in his lawsuit that he was fired by Trump "in a one-sentence email" in violation of his five-year term appointment.
The OSC allows whistleblowers to report their concerns of government wrongdoing in a safe and secure environment without fear of reprisals.
Given the rampant corruption of Trump's administration and his demonstrated penchant for vindictive reprisals, the OSC represents an obvious threat to his administration.
"The recent spate of terminations of protected civil service employees under the new presidential administration has created controversies, both about the lawfulness of these actions and about potential retaliation against whistleblowers," the lawsuit states. "The OSC is statutorily tasked with receiving such reports, investigating them, and taking appropriate action."
“The President’s unlawful attempt to remove Special Counsel Dellinger from his office directly violates the modest but vital protections that Congress put in place and renders the OSC and the Special Counsel unable to fulfill their statutory mandate," it adds.
"The OSC’s ability to protect the civil service and investigate alleged misconduct is needed now more than ever," the suit states.
The legal battle comes amidst Trump and Elon Musk's ongoing shameless efforts to gut the federal government to further empower the super rich and corporations. They're working to transition us from a democracy into a full-blown oligarchy.
When the Office of Special Counsel was created, the law clearly stipulated that its leader could only be removed if he or she demonstrated "inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office."
"Over the preceding three weeks, an unprecedented number of federal employees with civil service protections have been terminated without cause," the lawsuit says.
"Senior career officials have been purged from the Federal Bureau of Investigations," it continues. "Eighteen Inspectors General from across the federal government have been removed without the justification required by statute. And hundreds of federal employees have been locked out of their computer systems."
Dellinger's lawsuit requests a temporary order from the judge to bar his termination. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, will make the decision.

As someone who worked with and knew Donald Trump intimately for years, there is one phrase you'll never hear him say: "Forgive and forget"
Trump always seeks revenge (no matter how minor the infraction) and he's the type of person who will burn down a house with a flamethrower to get a fly. In my experience with the Trump, he would often discuss his deep admiration for authoritarians such as Putin. Therefore, I anticipate that Trump's next White House tenure will encompass unprecedented attacks against anyone (including American citizens).
All US citizens (regardless of their political affiliation) must hold not only Trump but, all elected officials accountable for besmirching our fundamental rights.
I am greatly concerned for the next four years but, I am also hopeful as tyrants who reveal their hand tend to awaken the masses much faster.
I promise to keep fighting to get the truth out and hold those in Power accountable!
