Within the administration, one strain wants a sleek state that narrowly seeks to maximize investment returns; one, a shackled state unable to promote social justice; and one, a shattered state that cedes authority to competing projects of decentralized private rule. www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Musk wouldn’t have taken questions in the Oval Office and looked like a cornered criminal if the pressure and attention wasn’t building. Don’t stop highlighting that the richest man in the world is taking over government. Keep talking. Paper your city if you have to. Do not give in.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If DOGE members are made Special Government Employees, this may be to avoid the open meeting requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which does not apply to groups made up only of government employees. This is what the Clintons tried to do with their Health Care Task Force in 1993.
