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.

Many readings of Cassandra focus on the curse & ignore how & why it was cast: She refused to fuck a God who retaliated by using his power to cloud minds against her.

Instead, he used his influence to strip $190 million from the budget for pediatric cancer research.
