The Women’s Bureau has been doing the work for over a century — the only agency focused on women in the workforce.

And now somebody thinks it’s time to gut it? Absolutely not.

I joined 50 of my colleagues in urging the Department of Labor to stand with women workers and protect it.

US Trump regime officials at the Pentagon reached out to “an unspecified allied state,” and tried to force them to halt their aid and arms supplies to Ukraine. They refused and now the European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to staff traveling to the U.S. to avoid espionage.

Martial Law.

It’s the elephant in the room.

It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them.

It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.

Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.

At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

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.
