I’ve arrived. Still trying to find everyone.
My new header is a photo of a friend’s sign from the January 2017 Women’s March, so you can tell why I’m tired this time.

For the 250th anniversary of our War of Independence, I’m writing a summary for my kids of my g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-grandfather’s experiences in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Lexington & Concord, which I’ll be sharing here for those of you who might also be interested. /1

3/ You can think whatever you want about the merits of him staying (his U.S. family, his steady job) or being deported (the alleged gang affiliation), there's really only one key fact:
A court ruled he CANNOT be deported to El Salvador bc he would face threat of death there.

2/ Abrego Garcia came to the U.S. over 10 years ago. He married a U.S. citizen and has three U.S. citizen children.
But he put in removal proceedings because he didn't apply for asylum in time and because of alleged ties to drug gangs. He denies any gang affiliation.

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Poso is if not a direct Russian asset then deeply adjacent. He emerged from his last deployment in the Navy as a Roger Stone employee deployed to the RNC (at "Citizens for Trump"), and finally made contact with the lovely Belarusian who had been chasing him for a year on Twitter, now his wife.

My take, essentially, is that we could be weeks or maybe even days away from the disintegration of the rule of federal law in this country. At some point this administration is going to stop obeying court orders. What then? Nothing good.

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.
