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.

Trump and Musk's shuttering of the DOJ's Office of Environmental Justice proves the goal isn't cost cutting or efficiency. The tiny OEP brings in tens of millions of $ from illegal polluters. Without that, tax payers have to foot the clean up bill

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated.
MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans.
They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers.
Unacceptable.

Trump once shunned Project 2025 as ‘ridiculous.’ Now he's staffing up with them.
In recent days, Trump has tapped nearly a half-dozen Project 2025 authors and contributors for roles in his administration.

Really close uncalled House race, Dem just took the lead by 30 votes.
If it holds Republicans may only have 3 seat majority in House.
And then they will be down two with Stefanik and Gaetz out.

Here’s the Center’s take: “Picking someone like Chris Wright is a clear sign that Trump wants to turn the U.S. into a pariah petrostate,” said Jean Su, director of the Center for Biological Diversity's energy justice program.
Breaking: Trump has named Chris Wright, a climate-change-denying, anti-regulation, fossil-fuel executive as Energy Secretary in his new administration.
It’s obviously a catastrophic pick for (to name only two victims) the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—& the planet.
