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.

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government.
Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it.
But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics.

The fact that we can always make gov’t more efficient doesn’t mean that Elon Musk, someone with conflicts of interest everywhere you look, should be running the show. Trump could have started with the inspectors general, whose job that is, but instead of empowering them, he fired them.
