Now march on down to OMB and OPM and wherever these DOGE interlopers are, and demand to see them thrown out.
ICYMI: I introduced the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act last Friday.
This bill would ensure that Elon Musk and DOGE Special Employees will be held accountable for their reckless and illegal actions. The American people should not be left to foot the bill.

5 Calls is a great app. I've used it to try to embarrass my Democratic Senators into some kind of action, and to tell my ignorant buffoon of a Rethuglican representative to remember his oath to the Constitution.

Ya gotta be shittin' me. I voted for her. She wants to work with the Republicans, while she wants to support the Constitution. Right now, you can't do both. She thinks Trump's disruptions are a good idea. And the thinks we Michiganders are too stupid to know what OMB is. Who Russel Vogt is. F her.

It’s past time for Treasury to come clean on Musk’s takeover. People's Social Security, Medicare, and their most sensitive personal data is at risk. I'm not going to stop until I get answers.

I'm watching Ireland v. Scotland rugby on Sunday. More athletic, more action, less (like NO) commercial interruption. A great sport, and the Irish team is fantastic! 6 Nations rugby! It's the way.
Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that.

Show us the way. And where the fuck are Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters, my supposedly Democratic senators? Why are Slotkin and Peters aiding and abetting President Musk's crimes? Why would they vote for any of little orange Shitler's appointees?
I often talk about righteous fights. Make no mistake: we are in one.
This fight will be long. Trump will continue to distract, divide, and demoralize us.
But when things get tough, there is only one option ahead of us: Nevertheless, we must persist.

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.
