We were promised transparency—they classified everything.
We were promised efficiency—they put everything under the control of one man.
We were promised less bureaucracy—they privatized it.
This is the most corrupt and lawless administration in American history.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

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.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Donald Trump has released a new EO to "eradicate anti-Christian bias."
What is one of the examples of "anti-Christian bias" cited in his order? The recognition by Biden of Transgender Day of Visibility, which fell on the same day as Easter Sunday last year.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

Too many left-of-center politicians and institutions are unwilling to come to grips with the reality that when the state, courts, and law are weaponized against you, the only way to fight involves a willingness to break the law.
