i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

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.

this appears to be based entirely on subscriptions for Politico Pro that many govt agencies pay for. but it doesn't matter, this is now fact for roughly half the country for eternity and will be used to do whatever they want.

How the f are we here with this nonsense again?!!

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

Republican women are upset that the GOP won’t let them run Committees.

We’re cancelling the guilty part of guilty pleasures. Wanna read romance books and drink cheap wine? Valid. Watch the trashiest reality show and scroll through Amazon? I support this. Listen to the same early 2000s pop song a thousand times in a row? Why stop there? Find that joy and SQUEEZE.

I think murder is really bad, I think ceos and politicians being afraid of the public’s opinion of them is good, so somewhere in between is probably how I really feel 🤷‍♂️

Preemptive Pardons? I think the preemptive pardon issue—the idea that President Biden should use pardons for people who have not been charged yet but may be at risk under the Trump Administration—is a very difficult one ...

Preemptive pardons are an imperfect solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in a democracy, the threat a president will corrupt the criminal justice system. Keep focus on Trump & the threat he poses to democracy as this debate continues-that's where it belongs. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
