Did you watch any live TV on Monday night?
Maybe either of the playoff games? (Here’s hoping that next year is the Pats’ year.) Maybe the Emmys? (The public school teacher in me was rooting for Abbott Elementary!) Or maybe you tuned in to the live results from the Iowa caucuses.
If you decided to preserve your peace of mind by tuning out that third option, I can’t blame you. They were less suspenseful than the Emmys or playoff football. Donald Trump ran away with a big win early on, continuing his glide path to the Republican nomination for president.
Trump’s victory in Iowa is another reminder that we must directly face the reality of what we’re up against this year, and what’s on the line.
If Republicans gain enough power, they’ll pass a nationwide abortion ban — overriding any and all state-level protections, like what we’ve got in Massachusetts.
Trump has already promised to try to repeal the Affordable Care Act again, which would rip health coverage away from millions of Americans.
And the very survival of our democracy is at stake if our next president is an election denier charged with 91 criminal offenses who’s said he’d be a dictator on day one.
The 2024 elections are critically important to our freedoms as a people and the future of our country for our children and grandchildren. I’m running for re-election to keep fighting for Massachusetts families and help make sure Democrats hold our majority in the U.S. Senate.
Because if we keep the Senate, keep the White House, and flip the GOP’s slim-as-can-be House majority, we can make real progress on the policies this team is fighting for, from ensuring universal child care to guaranteeing the right to an abortion to getting the rich and powerful to pay a fair share.
Can you make a donation of $28 or any amount to fuel our campaign and fight for the big, structural change we need as a nation?
