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.

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing.
Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans.
Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

JHC it’s literally our history. It’s something to be proud of. We will not disappear and become invisible so they can go back to their BLAAAND world.
Update: The Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. has released a statement calling on "the President and the Secretary of Defense to immediately rescind this action" www.tuskegeeairmen.org/wp-content/u...

Employees at the membership counter today said that a line this long was very unusual. Seems like Costco’s DEI stance is having a positive effect on business.

Disappointed with #target Especially when their business model has been incredibly inclusive and they see the $$ that comes with that. Ahh well, it is #FAFO season. Their marketing team is gonna catch all the drops #strategiclistening Unsubscribe from email, block on socials.
Discount store chain Target said Friday that it would join rival Walmart and a number of other prominent American brands in scaling back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that have come under attack from conservative activists and, as of this week, the White House.

Unsubscribe to the marketing emails and unfollow on social media also. They have entire departments that track these trends in customer interactions. They will notice the sudden drops.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I was born in a blizzard.
My father had to trudge through the snow, from the upper west side to NYU to visit me and my mother. The subway was down. The city at a standstill in the quiet hush of snowfall.
