Yeah eventually they’ll make her, but it’s important not to comply beforehand in these things. First step is to continue working until they physically force you, then use whatever’s remaining of the courts if someone’s willing to pay for the lawyers.
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, to me, is perfect.

When he makes up bullshit, don’t go along with it. It may or may not work. But going along with it definitely will not make things better.
