America is in deep, deep trouble.

  John, I’ll cut to the chase: America is in deep, deep trouble. In just the first six months of Trump’s second term, here’s what we’ve seen: Massive tax cuts for billionaires while kicking millions of Americans off of their health insurance. Federal officers fired for being “disloy…

What has you most concerned right now?

  John, The GOP isn’t listening. So we’re taking your message straight to them. Republican leaders in Congress have made one thing painfully clear: they’re not interested in listening to the American people. They’re too busy rubber-stamping Trump’s second-term agenda by gutting Social…

The Cook Political Report

  FIRST: Thom Tillis announced that he wouldn’t vote for Trump’s disastrous “Big, Beautiful  Bill.” THEN: Donald Trump lashed out, threatening to endorse an ultra-MAGA primary opponent against Tillis — leading Tillis to announce his retirement.  NOW: The Cook Political Report has decl…

These 5 states are key:

  John, Trump and his super PACs are flooding battleground states with cash to protect the GOP’s razor-thin Senate majority. We can’t match them dollar for dollar, but we can out-organize them if we get to work now. That’s why we’re focusing on five critical Senate races — and asking…

Big Beautiful Bill? More like Big Ugly Betrayal

  John, Look, I’ve been around a long damn time. I’ve seen some stupid ideas in Washington. But Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill”? It ain’t beautiful, it ain’t smart, and it sure as hell ain’t for working people. We’re talking about a budget bill that will: Gut health care for 11.8 mill…

We just got the numbers

  John, We just got the numbers. And they’re even worse than we feared. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the GOP’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” would: ❌ Rip health insurance away from 11.8 million Americans ❌ Slash $1.1 trillion from Medicaid, Medicare, and…

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:

Things are heating up in Iowa

Republicans overturned Roe. Now they’re going further.

Thom Tillis has got to go.

Mainers deserve better than Susan Collins.
