I woke up angry

Every single day this administration does something reprehensible   Friend, I woke up today angry as hell. So far this month, immigration agents in Minneapolis have murdered two innocent people. They have replaced Constitutional order with violent occupation. They have committed more violat…

A quick note for you

  Friend, a quick note: Ed has a big week ahead, which means he doesn’t have much time in his schedule to fundraise ahead of our January 31st deadline. That’s tough timing for us, and it means we have to turn to supporters like you for an extra boost this week. Listen, these fundraising d…

An all out assault on American life

  Masked immigration agents just shot and killed a man in Minneapolis in what appears to be an execution. A legal observer was swarmed and pushed to the ground by an entire team of officers, beaten, and shot multiple times. There is simply no defense for this. Trump’s violent, lawless occ…

Co-sponsor my bill to make ICE face justice

  Friend, last week I told you I was introducing a bill to end Qualified Immunity for ICE and federal law enforcement, so that victims of ICE’s brutality and civil rights abuses can sue for justice. Today, I am asking you to sign your name as a Citizen Co-Sponsor of my bill to help me show…

Billionaires First

We have seen an immense transfer of wealth from the working class to the top 1%   Friend, Trump’s agenda is Billionaires First, working Americans last. In just a year, we have seen an immense transfer of wealth from the working class to the top 1% as a result of the MAGA Republican agenda.…

Here’s how you melt ICE

  Over the last few weeks, we've watched Trump weaponize ICE against the people of Minnesota and communities across the country as a tool of political retribution. We've truly seen it all: Children and babies tear-gassed, protesters tackled, choked, and pepper-sprayed, US citizens dragged o…

“You have arrived in hell”

  Friend, do you remember a few weeks ago, when CBS’s new MAGA-friendly leadership tried to spike the 60 Minutes segment about the Venezuelan immigrants who Trump sent to the CECOT prison in El Salvador? Well, the segment is finally out, and it’s just as damning as we thought. The title of …

Invoke the 25th.

My opponent threw trans kids under the bus.

  Friend — Days after Donald Trump won the presidential election in 2024, my opponent in this race told the New York Times that Democrats lost because we supported transgender rights too much. Yes, really. He went on to refer to transgender girls as “males” who will “run over” his daughters…

No funding for ICE

ICE is acting like an occupying army, terrorizing their own citizens on the streets of American cities.   Friend — Part of the story of ICE’s campaign of brutality across our country is their massive new stream of funding. Billions and billions of dollars for Trump to build a personal poli…

JD Vance is an idiot
