Not so fast, Susan Collins

  You may have seen that Senator Susan Collins voted against Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” but make no mistake: Susan Collins is responsible for this disastrous bill. Instead of standing up for Maine families, she voted to allow the legislation to come to the Senate Floor, where it w…

We can reverse the worst of the Big Ugly Bill — here’s how:

  Republicans hold the Senate majority, John, and they JUST showed us exactly what that means for you: Taking your hard-earned money and handing it over to billionaires and higher costs for the rest of us.  If we’re going to put a stop to this chaos, we MUST Flip the Senate. Will you …

Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill”

  Breaking news, John: Senate Republicans just passed Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” This bill will kick millions of Americans off their health insurance. It will cause families to go hungry. It will close rural hospitals. It will raise energy prices. It will add trillions of do…

Things are heating up in Iowa

  John, First: At a recent town hall, Senator Joni Ernst was confronted with a serious concern — that proposed Medicaid cuts could lead to unnecessary deaths. She answered, “We all are going to die.” It was tone-deaf. It was reckless. And it sparked immediate outrage across Iowa and t…

Thom Tillis has got to go.

  John, It seems like $900 billion in Medicaid cuts wasn’t enough for North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis. He just went even further by backing even more cuts to Medicare that could rip away health care from over 2 million North Carolinians. Why is he doing this? To fund more tax brea…
