Huge @FEC news! We are pleased that the Administration has announced nominees and welcome this important step toward restoring a quorum. We look forward to an expeditious process so we can resume the Commission’s full range of responsibilities. https://t.co/AmgKDKEcy1
"In some cases, this reporting requirement poses real safety risks," @DaraLind writes.
"I worry about that — especially because my agency, the Federal Election Commission, oversees the requirement that gives rise to these risks." https://t.co/Yean82Yoqd

Excellent piece in @washingtonpost today by @FEC Commissioner @DaraLind, highlighting how FEC donor disclosure rules written in the 1970s put contributors at risk in the internet age and proposing a common-sense fix that will protect donor privacy: https://t.co/zEB2BEHngS
Many don’t realize that a small political contribution can result in their home address being posted online. In my @washingtonpost op-ed, I explain why Congress must amend the law to protect privacy while preserving transparency. https://t.co/dknKG4X7Ca https://t.co/JCcJZfRVfZ
In a display of unity across the political aisle, the Young Democrats of Connecticut and Connecticut Young Republicans have issued a joint statement offering prayers for Charlie Kirk and condemning political violence:

This is a thorough overview of our last meeting with Commissioner Dickerson. My favorite part: Lindenbaum said she hadn’t anticipated “blubbering and actual tears.” When the @FEC gets its quorum back, hopefully soon-ish, we will be ready.
The @FEC has entered a de facto shutdown.
It can’t enforce or regulate campaign finance laws until President Trump and the U.S. Senate act.

Today marks the first day I am unable to fly to DC for votes due to travel restrictions ahead of my due date.
It shouldn't be this way. Congress must pass my bipartisan resolution to allow Members who are new parents to vote remotely.
It has been a privilege to serve on the Federal Election Commission for the past four years. Today, I sent my resignation letter to the White House.
More to follow.
FEC Commissioner Dara Lindenbaum (@DaraLind) is one of The Hill's Changemakers of 2024.
