A non-government business that contracts with the federal government received notice today that in order to do business with the government they must certify that they don’t participate in DEI.

Thank you to all the individuals, states, organizations & unions who are suing Trump to stop his dismantling of our government, his suspension of our constitution and his discrimination against & targeting of US citizens and marginalized communities. You’re saving our country and protecting us all.

This is horrifying. I feel very fortunate to be able to cancel plans to fly in US airspace until this is resolved. My next move is to write to the airlines we usually fly on & tell them we're done with flights in the US.

Also sent this message to my reps with ResistBot.

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.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.
