This is one of my favorite pictures from the protest on Maui today. The turnout was amazing, at least 4,200 and some are saying closer to 5,000.

I created Democracy Docket in 2020 to help inform the fight for democracy in court. Five years later it is still at it. Still fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy.
It does not compromise. It will never obey.

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.
