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.

I know that all these institutions know how to push back because when Obama directed them to enforce pre-existing Title IX law, universities said no. They flat out refused until there was a working group and specific guidelines. And even then, they still refused.

Exactly why the Democrats have been such a disappointment since the election. You don't tuck tail because your opposition focuses their ire on a vulnerable group. You support them and you double and triple down on your support for them because: it's the right thing to do AND because you're next.

Hi. Right-wing politicians, lawyers, and grifters (and some liberals) want to convince you that trans youth are the victims of a social contagion and that the majority of those who transition will detransition. This is a lie that puts all trans people at risk. youtu.be/mlkBa7ooUN4
