President Trump's effort to "rein in" independent agencies is raising particular concern among those who follow the work of the Federal Election Commission, which enforces campaign finance laws.

I feel like we are past the worry and concern phase. Are taxpayers seriously expected to continue paying as usual this tax season? Where is my money going, exactly?
I'm not. We fought a revolution about taxation without representation. Let them spend the manpower and money getting it from me. Fuck them. Let Trump pay it. He didn't pay taxes for 2 fucking years as president. Let them get it from the billionaires he promised wouldn't have to pay any.
Every f****** thing that's happening in Washington right now should alarm everyone. We are separating from our European allies and embracing authoritarianism. We are around the corner from American democracy dying.
What would happen if a president stole all of the gold in fort Knox , replaced it with bitcoin, & made a DEAL with Russia to take it off of our hands
All for the good of the American people and the economy?
Let’s face it.. campaign finance law is a joke.. billionaires and corporations on both sides own the politicians at this point. It’s no longer We the People..
There must be many such slash & burn inanities on the list that require max push-back to stem the toxic red tide of this fascist freak. Elections are just the start.
No, he wants to stay in power long enough to get a 'get out of jail' free card
Then it will be let known his mental health issues and get the 25th........easy out with no jail j/s
They might if can find the way to manage Vance more
I'm not sure why the Republican party has allowed this for so long but......will they allow for the destruction of the US is another story?
Currently they're falling in line .....legal system going full stop
After....he has to go one way or another
Please don't frame it like this. He's trying to compromise the independence of agencies to subordinate them to him individually.
Saying he's trying to "rein in", even in quotes, suggests they're uncontrolled or unaccountable.
Don't sane-wash this. Don't do favors to this power grab.
Explain to me, like I am a reasonable adult, how can this administration continually do things that are illegal without consequence? Why does it take a lawyer to file a case. If I break the law I will be arrested, then the lawyer gets involved. This seems backwards
Because the police is controlled by District Attorney, DA reports to the state Attorney General, state AG reports to US Attorney General, US AG and who chooses all federal law enforcement is selected by POTUS. So when you vote for POTUS you're also voting for judges & AG's...FOTUS47 is a criminal😕
They had a chant of "four more years!!" in the White House after he asked a crowd if he should run again for a third term. We're far beyond "particular concern" at this point.
If you can’t see this for what it is, a slow moving coup that might well end in martial law being declared by Election Day 2028, then I’d ask what color the sky is in your world.
What?
We still have campaign finance laws?
Trump can illegally use campaign funds labeled "Legal" for porn star.
Elon can give a $270 billion campaign bribe.
Exactly what do these laws do?

FEC is gone as soon as Humphrey's Exrcutor is overturned fully by SCOTUS.
They will find some kind d of "corruption" and call it done.
DJT will run as VP since the "people" want him.
Anti Federalists of 1789 where right, a President could act like a king.
This is how Trump works, it's a constant game of "If you give a mouse a cookie" with the American government.
Felon Trump is unconstitutionally not fulfilling his duties. Which means Vance needs to assume the role.
Then it will be let known his mental health issues and get the 25th........easy out with no jail j/s

We’ve seen the last free and fair election
DO something with the power we have you!
