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.

Proposal from Illinois lawmakers could unlink student scores and teacher evaluations
A bill that would roll back the requirement to link teacher evaluations to test scores sailed through the Senate education committee Tuesday. If passed, Illinois would join 20 other states that do not require public school districts to link teacher quality to student performance.
