MAGA nut Lauren Boebert may lose

Latest poll shows Lauren Boebert tied with her Dem opponent Adam Frisch.. Click here to unsubscribe. Chris, Lauren Boebert is a treasonous nut, and she actually might lose re-election. I'd like you to chip in to help her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch, defeat her on November 8…

Dr. Oz & the attack on John Fetterman

Democratic US Senate candidate John Fetterman is being smeared by the media. The media came out today guns-blazing to take down Democrat John Fetterman, who is running against Republican Mehmet ("Dr.") Oz for the US Senate seat in Pennsylvania. The election is one month away. Wi…

Ukraine

Help me help the people of Ukraine. Chris, the last seven months I've been raising money for Ukraine, and I'd like a moment to see if you can help. Since the Russian invasion back in February, I've been using my social media networks to fundraise on behalf of humanitarian efforts…

Will Pete be appointed to Biden's Cabinet?

Biden has yet to appoint anyone gay to the Cabinet -- why? Chris, I've just published a story on my new Substack newsletter, CyberDisobedience, about the fact that Joe Biden has yet to name any gay people to his Cabinet, including Pete, who is now reportedly being considered f…

Coup

Trump's plan to steal the election is a long shot, but not impossible Chris, just a quick email to let you know about my latest article about Trump's ongoing effort to steal the Electoral College, and thus the election: "Trump's crazy plan to steal the election is a long shot,…

Will Trump ever concede?

Biden "may" have won the election, but now Trump is at his most dangerous. Chris, I've started a Substack email newsletter about the election aftermath. I just wanted to share my first two stories, which I think you might like: The Election Danger Zone: Biden "may" have won the e…

Victory

Last chance to help Biden & the Senate Dems win on Tuesday. Please chip in. Chris, we are three days away from Tuesday's historic election. So far, Biden is still winning this, as are Senate Dems. Of course, no one is taking the polls for granted, and that's why I'm going …

Great new polls

Latest polls show Dems on verge of taking back the Senate. Chris, the Cook Political Report is out today with its latest US Senate rankings, and things look excellent for Democrats (knock on wood, of course). I summarize the state of the races below. When you're finished, I've…

Donate to these key Senate races

Latest polls show Democrats taking the Senate and the White House, if we keep it up. Chris, 19 days to go, and things are looking really good for Democrats. Democrats are now the "clear favorite" to take control of the US Senate on November 3, per the respected Cook Political Re…

RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died today at 87

McConnell has already said he'll steal Ginsburg's seat. Let's take McConnell's seat. Chris, I have horrible news. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has just died. And Mitch McConnell, in supremely bad taste, has already announced that he will steal Ginsburg's seat. McCon…

Help defeat McConnell, Graham & Collins

Help defeat Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins. Chris, Trump sold America a bill of goods in 2016, claiming  “I alone can fix it." And we all saw how well that turned out. Trump is now trailing Biden in the polls, and as a result, we have a real chance of taking ba…

Portland, Oregon needs your help

Immediate support for White House protesters

The White House protesters need our help now. Chris, this is an emergency request to help us provide water, peroxide and Band-Aids for the peaceful protesters outside the White House. We've been protesting in Lafayette Park for 687 days, some days small and others big. But this …

grim reaper

Dem lawyer roams FL beaches as Grim Reaper. Chris, Democratic lawyer Daniel Uhlfelder has launched a Grim Reaper campaign to help Democratic candidates and promote social distancing. It's a great idea, and I'm hoping you can help. Let me explain. Uhlfelder is going to roam Florid…

ByeDon 2020

Cool Joe Biden 2020 sticker Chris, Now that Joe Biden is our nominee, I've got a great way to humiliate Trump while showing your support for the Democratic ticket this coming November. It's a bumper sticker a friend is selling: I know we all supported different candidates in the…

We are grateful

Chris, We hope this finds you safe and well. These are incredibly crazy times, and when we at the Kremlin Annex started protesting outside of the White House over 621 days ago we never thought anything would complicate protesting more than the National Park Service. I want …

572 days and counting outside the White House

Chris, Thank you for all of your continued support. I will try to keep this short. Over 572 days ago when Trump touched down at the White House from the Helsinki Summit (or as we refer to it the HELLsinki Summit), where he stood side-by-side with Vladimir Putin, and took Putin's …

Susan Collins' impeachment duplicity

Chris, Susan Collins did it again. For days, we've been waiting to hear whether GOP Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) would show some courage and support having John Bolton come testify at Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate. Last night we got her answer, and it typical Susa…

Bernie vs. Warren feud

Devin Nunes has to go

Chris, I'd like you to help Phil Arballo beat Devin Nunes in 2020. Especially now that Nunes went absolutely bonkers during the impeachment hearings over the past few days. Nunes is the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, the place where the impeachment hearing…

2020 poll update

Chris, Susan Collins (R-Maine) is in trouble. Voters have finally had it with the Republican senator's weak-kneed pro-Trump politics. For the first time ever, Collins is in real danger of losing her seat next year. And you can help make that happen. Can you chip in to Susan Co…

Racist GOP Rep. Steve King did it again

Chris, the most racist Republican in the Congress -- Iowa's Steve King -- has done it again. King yesterday praised the merits of rape and incest as part of a convoluted argument as to why abortion shouldn't be permitted even in the most extreme cases of rape and incest. Woul…

I Stand with the Squad

Chris, "the Squad" is under attack. Donald Trump isn't letting up on his racist attacks on Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley. Trump can't stand that the four US House freshmen are women of color who dare speak their mind. I…
