The difference

Politics is full of candidates who have no problem taking checks from corporate special interests, Super PACs, and mega-donors Friend — There’s a big difference between a campaign that’s truly grassroots and one that’s not. Politics is full of candidates who have no problem taking checks from cor…

the billionaires, the oil companies, and the far-right super PACs

I don't like to ask for too much The truth is, I don't like to ask for too much. I know we are all still trying to make sense of last month’s election. We put in a lot of work and came up short, proving that there’s so much more work to connect to our neighbors and set this nation on a better pat…

RFK Jr. would be a disaster for our nation’s health care system

Friend — It’s no secret that Trump’s cabinet is shaping up to be filled with conspiracy theorists and fringe, unqualified figures. Robert Kennedy Jr. may be one of the most dangerous among them. RFK Jr.’s ascension to HHS Secretary would be a disastrous outcome for our nation and our ability t…

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…

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 …
