Organize, organize, organize

With Trump in the White House, everything is in jeopardy.   Dec 27, 2012. That was the day I first launched my campaign for Senate. From the start, I have relied on my grassroots supporters to make what we do possible. That includes grassroots donors who have helped grow our progressive mo…

I'm endorsing Ed Markey for reelection

I’m proudly endorsing Ed today because I’ve seen his commitment to Massachusetts first hand.   Friend — It’s Senator Elizabeth Warren. We are in the fight of our lives right now. Democracy is under attack, our economy is rigged against working families, and the climate crisis is an existe…

5 reasons, $5

There are so many reasons to support our movement for progressive change with your contribution.   Friend, here’s five good reasons to donate just $5 to Ed Markey today. For years, Ed has led the charge in the Senate on passing bold climate and clean energy legislation, advancing civil rig…

I’m calling on Kristi Noem to resign.

Illegal imprisonment

  Friend — You may remember a few months ago, I went down to visit Rümeysa Öztürk at an ICE detention center in Louisiana. Rümeysa is a constituent of mine who was arrested by the Trump administration for exercising her right to free speech. She was denied due process, sent to indefinite de…

$153,161,835

$25 vs. $153,161,835   Friend — $25. That’s the average online contribution to our campaign so far this year. When you think about the amount of money that goes around in politics these days, $25 really isn’t a lot. And of course, many people give less — $5, $10 whatever they can afford at …

“World’s richest 1% raised their wealth by $33.9 trillion in 10 years”

It’s immoral. It’s unAmerican.   Friend, this is the basic truth: While the world’s richest 1% have grown their wealth by $33 trillion in the last 10 years, their allies in the Republican Party have worked tirelessly to defund programs that keep people out of poverty. Experts across the b…

I’m going to be blunt.

  Friend, Trump’s big ugly bill has passed. I’m going to be very blunt with you. This bill is a disaster. It’s a national disgrace. Millions of Americans will suffer as a result of sweeping cuts to programs that people rely on. Families will have to decide whether they can afford a doctor…

A shameful day

RFK Jr. lied.

The Make America Sick Again Agenda will cost lives   Friend — I’ll keep this short. RFK Jr. is acting exactly as we warned he would. I passed the law that is funding the national effort to cure Alzheimer's. I know how crucial federal funding and grants are to finding a cure. RFK Jr. and …

We’re talking about $5 here

Trump’s dangerous game

  Team — Trump cannot be trusted. His ordering of a U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities violates the War Powers Act, puts American servicemembers and civilians in the region at risk, and invites an escalation to a wider regional war in the Middle East. Trump doesn’t care about the U.S…

Trump can go after ActBlue, but he will not stop us

Sending the National Guard into California is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
