A gross miscarriage of justice.

As @mattfieldwood.bsky.social says: "The firing of these two eminently qualified Democratic commissioners is a brazen attack on the independence of the FTC, on the checks and balances that undergird our democracy, and on the people most in need of those protections."

Technical question: if you don't have the power to fire someone, are they fired? If so, I have a list.... But seriously, this is a constant with the attacks on civil servants since Jan. 20th.
Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court *expressly ruled* that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Exclusive: Trump fires both Democratic commissioners at FTC, sources say
President Donald Trump fired the two Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the situation said, in another major test of the independence of regulatory agencies.

Free Press is expanding its grassroots work in Wisconsin!

We're hiring a civic media campaign manager to work remotely from Wisconsin and build powerful campaigns to pass policies that expand access to news and information across the state.

Is that you?

Okay, I'm on the public line and going to do another live-skeeting of the hearing for those who can't join (it seems the public line is now full).

Hearing is set to start in moments.
DENIED. Boasberg says the hearing goes on at 5p as planned.
