NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

I’m taking every opportunity to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s illegal government takeover. Just now, I offered an amendment at the Commerce Committee to stop their seizure of your data at Treasury. Republicans voted it down in fealty to Trump. youtu.be/wR9Eu--McII

TikTok isn't gathering an ounce of the information that employees of Elon Musk seem to have access to now in our federal government. From personnel to treasury records things are getting very dangerous. Where is the outrage? My latest Substack open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

OMB Dir-nominee Russ Vought oversaw Project 2025, which was responsible for drafting this Memo freezing all federal funding that Congress has appropriated. If Senate Republicans vote to confirm Vought, then they own this memo and whatever disastrous consequences flow from it.

The White House has to "check back" about whether or not they just shut off the program that funds health care for 2 million Arizonans? I can tell you the answer: Arizona's Medicaid payment portal has been turned off. This is absurd.

Two weeks ago, Vance ruled out pardons for J6 rioters who assaulted cops. Now he's rewriting history to excuse them and Trump's pardons of them. This is today's GOP: soft on crime, betraying police, and smearing prosecutors when the criminals in question support Trump. lnk.thebulwark.com/3PS5w75

We are in the days of shock & awful, where Trump tries to make people feel so overwhelmed by all the rapid changes & actions that they quit trying to keep up. Don't give into that. Learn about what you have the bandwidth for. Understand that these are steps being taken to break down democracy.

Here’s the money line in the acting AG’s letter firing the prosecutors who worked on the Trump case. Leadership does not trust you in “implementing the president’s agenda.” DOJ supports and defends the Constitution, not the president’s agenda.

I hope every Democrat in Congress understands there can be no deal, under any circumstances, that attaches conditions to disaster aid. Once you let them set that precedent, they’re going to use it to fuck with your state too.

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)
