Excited to be with thought leaders at the Conference on World Affairs in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Check out the schedule. Most sessions live-streamed. I’ll be speaking later today and tomorrow on checks & balances (do they still exist?) and elections. www.colorado.edu/cwa/2025-sch...

3/ The president is trying to remove and silence opposition voices from government. I will continue to speak out about threats to our democracy. Turns out one doesn't need a gov't email address to make some good trouble.

2/ No one is more aware than I am of the limitations of the FEC but subjecting it to the control of the President risks weaponizing the agency that regulates the billions of $ spent on our elections.

1/ This administration’s war on independent agencies is particularly ominous when it comes to agencies with jurisdiction over elections. Yesterday I filed an amicus brief explaining the importance of maintaining the Federal Election Commission’s independence. static1.squarespace.com/static/60a55...

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.
