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.

The resistance after 2016 was a success. But we need something bigger and more durable this time. We need an opposition built for the long term. We need to stop being tired and ignore the cynics. I can promise you, my team and I will be in the fight. If we all do our part we will win!

Elon Musk is a degenerate father, an immigrant and a welfare queen.. Everything Republicans say they hate.. yet because he’s white, has money from US subsidies, steals other people’s work and kisses Donald Trump‘s ass, he’s become their second Lord and Savior..

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who is determined to turn up the volume and EXPOSE all of the brutal, deadly consequences of abortion bans in America. They're not "pro-life." They're pro controlling women's bodies.

Makes sense since authoritarianism is institutionalized bullying. The Fascist slogan for kids was "Believe, Obey, and Fight."

Trump’s pal Putin—openly a murderer—has struck again. A tragic, cowardly assassination of exactly the sort Trump would love to start carrying out in America.

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give... -The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut -The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut -The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut -The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut Some populist, huh?

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

The first rule of authoritarian politics is that there’s only one source of authority. Congress will be expected to give up its role in governing, particularly anything that restrains Trump’s choices and desires.

“The Senate won’t confirm them” is not even a wishful thinking response, it’s one that ignores what’s happening: Trump announced in advance of these picks that he expects the Senate to shut itself down so he can make recess appointments — which means no confirmation process at all.

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations). Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members. I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.
