Summary
Trump tried to fire Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chair Ellen Weintraub, but she is refusing to leave, arguing the move is legally invalid.
Weintraub, a Democrat and frequent Trump critic, has served since 2002 and can remain until a replacement is confirmed.
Six commissioners run the FEC, with no more than three from a single party allowed to serve at one time.
Democrats condemned the action, calling it an attack on the FEC, which is currently reviewing complaints against Trump.
The commission, often deadlocked, oversees federal election compliance.
100%. they tried to wield fascism as a threat to do conservatism, and now they’re letting fascism take over out of spite for us not as a collective going along with it. in effect: they would rather this than shift left to where their voters are.
and so we’re clear. i took 20 minutes out of my day to go vote for kamala not because i thought she was good, but because i thought she was better than this. but the fact remains that mainstream democrats are complicit in this
