We will never let decency die, even if it may feel like it. Realistically, we’re just too plain stubborn.

We may have to pass around the torch a bit more often, though, to remind each other we’re not alone. Even marathoners need to take a break to maintain their health and stamina.

Attorney here:

Many of the terms in this agreement are unlawful and unenforceable, given they violate prior union contracts, gov regulations, and employee contracts.

New β€” The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned.

Judge temporarily bars Justice Department from disclosing information about FBI agents tied to Jan. 6 probes A group of unnamed FBI agents and the FBI Agents Association are seeking to prevent the Justice Department from disclosing a list of names of bureau employees who were tied to Jan. 6 probes.

We had a successful first stage in our @FBI lawsuit today to protect those patriotic employees who pursued the #ruleoflaw in prosecuting #January6th criminals. The fight continues for justice.

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.
