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.

What Elon Musk is doing to USAID is a gift to Russia, it’s a gift to China, it’s a gift to our adversaries around the world.
This is not America First — it’s America in retreat.

Under no circumstances can Russ Vought—a key architect of Project 2025—be confirmed.
My colleagues and I will be holding the Senate floor ALL night in opposition of his nomination.

THAT’S. NOT. THE. POINT !
The POINT is that CONGRESS appropriates the money. You think it’s being spent on the wrong things or that there is fraud YOU. TAKE. IT. UP. WITH. CONGRESS.
I’m surprised our members of Congress are so calm about being made redundant💁🏻

Elon Musk’s shutting down USAID is illegal.
It’s also a huge gift to China & Russia.

Congress: YOU must stop Elon's crews right now.
These are not government employees.
They have no business in a government back office.
A Congressionally created department or agency cannot be altered without Congress.
Do your job. Or, we will find someone to do it for you!

One of the roles of NOAA is to monitor major storms around the world. Their work on hurricane/cyclone/typhoon early warning is a lifesaving global good. Another way the DOGE wreckage will cost lives around the world.
