Since the day I took the oath of office, I have strived to live up to its words

  Friends — When Senators like me take office, we take an oath. Just like the President does. Here’s what it says: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and…

A $5 movement

  Friends — $5. That amount is so crucial to our campaign’s success. You’re probably wondering what a $5 contribution can possibly do when we’re up against corporate PACs, fossil fuel interests, and MAGA mega-donors who want to stop our movement in its tracks. Let us explain. We have seen t…

Trump’s third term jokes deserve a serious response.

  Friend, a couple of weeks ago, I read an editorial in The New York Times about a possible Trump third term. I wanted to share my response with you: So jokes aside, it sure seems like the GOP has no problem flirting with the idea of a third Trump term. That’s completely unacceptable, and …

Trump’s administration is about greed

I am doing everything I can to fight back against this previously unseen level of greed, corruption, and lawlessness.   Friend — Trump’s administration can be boiled down to one idea: the constant pursuit of greed and personal power. Trump and Republicans in Congress are about to push thro…

$5? Yes, just $5

When everyone does their part, your contribution quickly adds up to be enough to take on the billionaires and win.   Friend — $5. Yes, just $5. Let’s be real. $5 doesn’t sound like the kind of money that can fund a winning campaign. Especially when you consider that we are up against corpo…

MAGA Republicans don’t seem to understand patriotism

Massachusetts is where revolutions are born. And no, that is not ‘socialism’. It’s American patriotism.   For people who love to call themselves ‘patriots’, MAGA Republicans don’t seem to understand the history of patriotism in this country. In 1775, the ‘shot heard round the world’ was fi…

"If everyone reading this..."

  Friends — You’ve probably heard or read me say the phrase, “If everyone reading this chipped in right now, we’d meet our goal today.” It’s kind of a mind-blowing idea, isn’t it? A contribution of $5 or $10 may not seem like much. And it’s certainly true that one person’s contribution alon…
