Don’t agonize. Organize.

We’re not lost. We can’t afford to walk away. Hi friend, On Wednesday, we woke up to the devastating news that Donald Trump will once again be president. I know to many of us, this outcome was unfathomable. We went up against MAGA extremism with our message of joy, fairness, and democracy, and l…

We need to make sure every last vote gets counted

This race, and its stakes, are higher than ever. Here's where things stand, Friend: Nevada’s Senate race is not over – which means our work isn’t done yet. And we’re expecting my race to come down to a handful of votes. We cannot afford to lose a single additional Senate seat. If Republicans fli…

Did you see this new poll out of Ohio's must-win Senate race, friend? That's right – for the first time this cycle, polls are showing Sherrod Brown losing to his MAGA opponent, Bernie Moreno. We need to fight back ASAP, or we could lose this seat and our Senate majority. That's why we're gettin…

It’s time to stop holding back our democracy

Friend — Ed’s stance on the Senate filibuster has been clear for years now: Abolish it once and for all and pass much-needed legislation to secure our democracy. In too many ways, the extremist far-right has taken hold of our institutions and made it harder for our government to deliver the com…

Sign On: No National Abortion Ban!

Friend — Republican extremists in Congress have made their goal clear: if they can get the votes, they will pass a national abortion ban. They don’t care that an overwhelming majority of Americans oppose a national ban. They don’t care how many lives will be put in danger or upended. That’s why …
