John, what if...

  With the GOP only needing to flip one seat to retake the Senate, we all know the stakes of this year’s election. John — what if we don’t do enough to counteract the GOP’s early attacks in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, and New Hampshire? GOP special interest groups are a…

Good news and bad news

  John, We’ve got some good news, and some bad news. We’ll start with the bad: Senate Republicans’ campaign arm recently announced they raised $43 million in the last quarter. That means Mitch McConnell and his allies have a whole lot of cash ready to spend in battleground states like…

A big warning sign

  Hey there John, it’s James Carville. I’m not one to beat around the bush, so I’ll be blunt with you. We’re in for a tough election this year. We got a big warning sign on November 2, 2021, when Trump-endorsed Republican Glenn Youngkin became Virginia’s governor. I remember that feel…

BREAKING: Trump endorses in PA

  John, breaking news — Donald Trump endorsed Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania’s Senate race. CNN ranks Pennsylvania as one of the top GOP-held Senate seats most likely to FLIP blue this year — which is why Trump is going all-in to defend this critical seat. Now with Trump’s seal of approval, T…

  John, Great news: President Biden recently signed Senate Democrats’ bill to reform the United States Postal Service! This is a huge step forward, helping prevent Trump ally Louis DeJoy from doing further harm by undermining our postal service. The bill will provide much-needed fundi…

Ohio, North Carolina, Missouri

  John — this is incredible. Since the day we flipped Georgia and the Senate, we’ve worked to defend our Democratic Senators and expand our majority. According to The Hill, we’ve got an opportunity to not just compete in, but flip multiple states with retiring Republican Senators: Oh…

We’re asking for $4

  John, we’re emailing for $4. Yes, you read that correctly — just $4. The next question you might have is, why? That’s because there are 4 Democratic Senators up for re-election this November that MUST win if we want to defend our Senate majority. In case you need a refresher, those …

Donald Trump just left North Carolina

  John, Donald Trump just left North Carolina, and one thing is clear: He’s laser-focused on this battleground state. Trump knows what we know: North Carolina is one of Democrats’ best chances to flip a Senate seat and expand our 50-50 majority in November. But that means that Trump, …

Dr. Oz’s trip to Mar-a-Lago

  Look familiar, John? In case you need a refresher, that’s Dr. Oz, the celebrity doctor who’s spent years pushing diet pills and unproven COVID-19 treatments. Now, he’s running for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania as a leading Republican candidate. He’s also a former top advisor to D…

$3

  We’re reaching out today to ask if you can pitch in $3 to help defend our Democratic Senate majority, John. Here’s why your support is so important, especially right now: The Senate is split 50-50. All Republicans need to do is flip one seat and Senate control could be back in the …

[Add your name]: We must defend the right to choose

  We wanted to make sure you saw this news from Arizona, John: Last week, Governor Doug Ducey signed an extreme, restrictive abortion ban into law. This law follows similar efforts from Republican legislatures across the country. It bans nearly all abortions in Arizona after 15 weeks,…

We’d love to hear from you, John

Less than 12 hours to go

What Trump had to say in Georgia

Asking for $5 – seriously

The GOP’s latest attack on our civil rights

Trump’s rally is backfiring
