I’ve got some bad news:

In the dead of night, Kevin McCarthy and the Republican Party did yesterday what they’ve threatened for the last two years.

They removed me from the House Intelligence Committee, where I have served as Chairman and the top Democrat for years.

This is political retribution for my leading the impeachment of Donald Trump, pure and simple, and a dangerous effort to go after anyone who holds them accountable. It also turns the House Intelligence Committee into a political plaything for their right-wing supporters.

John, I really need you with me so I can respond to this baseless attack on my ability to serve my constituents and the American people.

Please, contribute $10 or whatever you can spare today to our campaign and MeidasTouch to help me respond to Republicans’ baseless attacks on my ability to hold them accountable. This isn’t the end of my fight for truth, accountability, and our democracy. In fact, it’s only the start:

I’ll have much more to say soon. But for now, thanks for standing with me — because it’s not just a personal attack on me. It’s an attack on accountability and effective oversight. 

And it’s up to all of us to fight back.
