[email protected] Federal employees take an oath to support and defend the Constitution. You will have our respect and gratitude if you honor that oath.
(@ellenlweintraub.bsky.social) must be kept on the payroll and on the computer systems, her access to FEC HQ unimpeded. The FEC general counsel needs to do her job and enforce the Federal Election Campaign Act. She does NOT need a vote of the Commission to do so.
Trump is purporting to fire Chair Weintraub in direct violation of federal law: 52 USC § 30106 (a)(2)(B): "A member of the Commission may serve on the Commission after the expiration of his or her term until his or her successor has taken office as a member of the Commission."
This is, once again, Trump trying to assert that he doesn't need to follow laws that Congress passes, he can just assert powers he has decided the Constitution has granted him. It's breathtakingly illegal and a real step toward destroying our democracy. TIME TO ACT!
What're you planning to do about it, and why should the American people care about a chair of the election commission at this point when other more pressing matters are at hand?

Do you remember that "you won't have to worry about voting again" statement? This is where that gets moving,
This woman ignored me.
Had she paid attention, Trump may not have won in 2024.
Trump is committing far worse offenses right now than trying to fire her.
