Friend,
With multiple harmful policy decisions by
Trump and Republicans, it's hard to not miss things. In my own small
way, I try to highlight the most important issues of the day in these
emails, but it’s impossible to cover everything. That’s why today, I
wanted to look back on some of the news stories that didn’t get enough
attention in 2019:
• The Trump administration rolled back major
environmental regulations, jeopardizing protections for clean water,
endangered species, and natural lands, while deregulating offshore
drilling, methane emissions, and the fossil fuel industry.
•
For the first time in 25 years, the House of Representatives held a
hearing on D.C. statehood, getting us that much closer to giving
700,000 Americans a voice in our democracy. Unfortunately, Republicans
are blocking this action.
• The Senate Intelligence Committee’s
investigation of Russian meddling revealed that Russian hackers
targeted election systems in all 50 states, and have the capacity to
do so again in 2020. However, Republicans in the Senate are preventing
votes on House bills that will improve election security.
This
year, we’re going to be fighting battles on every front, from
healthcare to the environment to national security.
We also
need to hold the House, flip the Senate and take back the White House.
Will
you donate $250, $100, or $50 today so that we have the resources we
need to win in
2020?
Best, Ted
