There is so much bullshit everyday that I had forgotten about this. It's a crazy, opportune time for it to be dark, huh. There isn't an eyeroll big enough.
The FEC is now enduring the longest period in the agency’s history without a quorum, without which it cannot craft new rules, give legal advice to candidates, or fine those who break the law. Last year, a report from the FEC’s Inspector General called the lack of a quorum at the FEC the “most significant management and performance challenge” facing the agency.
It’s up to the president to nominate, and the Senate to confirm, new commissioners. So far, President Donald Trump has nominated just one new commissioner, Texas attorney Trey Trainor, for whom the Senate Rules Committee held a confirmation hearing in March and whose qualifications Issue One has repeatedly raised concerns about.
