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.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

I visited the Pentagon recently and remarked to my escort there were lots of bathrooms. He said it’s because the Pentagon’s in Virginia and when it was built Jim Crow laws were in effect - there had to be separate bathrooms for blacks. The past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.

Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed. Look at all the good people. And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.

Honestly, jokes aside. Working right now feels like an extreme sport. When nihilism abounds… does “work” actually matter?!? I want collective naps, daytime dance parties and gatherings where we scream, cry, laugh and hold each other… not emails and meetings that begin with “how are you?”!

So we have a guy in charge of our lives who drove his wife to suicide? We have a guy in charge to defense that didn’t allow women to defend themselves? We have an Attorney General in charge of respecting laws that took a bribe to ignore laws? Everything seems fine.

My fellow public servants, the people who serve you on a daily basis doing things you don’t see so your life goes more or less as intended, are having their lives turned upside down at the whim of a 34-time convicted felon man baby who’s angry at everyone who holds him accountable.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

This need to be said more often. Elon Musk is not an intelligent person. He used is father's money to buy intelligent people's ideas. Americans confuse that with intelligence. But he's an immature idiot who surrounds himself with young men who tell him how smart/funny he is. He is neither..

Democrats need to learn how to talk about big issues from a rural perspective. For example, the Infrastructure Bill. Dems didn't talk about how it would help rural Americans with things like broadband and improved electricity distribution. They don't talk about how wind leases can help farmers, etc.
