A great disappointment

I have some personal thoughts that I wanted to share with you today.   Friend, it’s Ed. I have some personal thoughts that I want to share with you today. I hope you’ll read to the end. Donald Trump and the Republicans' victory on election night last November was of course a disaster for ou…

$248,680,218 vs. Your $5

We have a responsibility to our planet to keep up the fight. And we have a responsibility to win.   Friend — $248,680,218. That's the total amount of cash that the oil and gas lobby spent to sway the results of the 2024 elections. It’s the most money Big Oil has ever spent in an American el…

We’re in trouble

  Friend — I’ve been proud to serve my hometown of Malden and the people of Massachusetts—first in the State House, then in Congress, and now in the Senate. No matter the role, my compass has always been the same: science, data, and facts. That’s what responsible leadership demands—listeni…

Ed Markey can’t be bought.

$5 is all it takes to join this powerful movement for progressive change.   Ed Markey can’t be bought. He doesn’t ask for help from corporate Super PACs. He doesn’t spend all day on the phone with billionaire donors. But he can still fight, and he can still win. We’ve seen it time and tim…

“A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.”

Trump wants to be a dictator. You know it, I know it. Republicans know it.   Friends — Trump wants to be a dictator. You know it, I know it. Republicans know it. So rather than tell you what you already know, I want to skip straight to the most important part for top supporters like you:…

My friend Sherrod

  Friend, it’s Ed. I’m reaching out today because my friend and colleague Sherrod Brown is running for Senate in Ohio. I hope you’ll give me just a minute to talk about why I support Sherrod, and why you should consider splitting a contribution to his campaign. Many of us know Sherrod as a …

This is crucial to our campaign’s success

We have seen time and time again that the establishment tends to underestimate the power of a grassroots 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, foss…

a “Ponzi scheme.”

Donald Trump and the Republican Party have made it clear that they want to cut or even dismantle Social Security   Friend — Social Security is one of the most successful government programs in American history. It’s simple: We all pay our hard-earned money into Social Security over the yea…

Boston will not bow down to Trump.

This is our city, not his. Nobody here elected him to anything.   Friend — Trump’s DOJ has sent an ultimatum across the country: Any city that refuses to comply with Trump’s draconian, violent ICE crackdowns and deportations will lose all federal funding, and could even face prosecution by…

I’m personally asking

I need you in my corner from day one.   Friend: When you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work. These words have guided my life in public service. So it pains me to see everyday folks working harder than ever but still falling behind – while D.C. politicians give hand…

Trump doesn’t give a damn about the law

Trump sent the National Guard into DC this week over a made-up “crime emergency.”   Team, Trump sent the National Guard into DC this week over a made-up “crime emergency.” But Trump refused to call in the National Guard on January 6th, when violent rioters were storming our Capitol and at…

Can you prove us wrong?

  Team, we’ll get right to it. We just had a campaign meeting with Ed. We had to explain that our fundraising has fallen off a cliff since the start of the month. That’s right — despite the continued chaos of Trump's presidency, despite Republicans pushing through disastrous cuts to health…

The White House is partnering with PragerU, a far-right propaganda machine pretending to be an educational service

  Friend — Have you heard of PragerU? If not, it’s quite simple to explain. PragerU is a far-right propaganda machine pretending to be an educational service. In fact, PragerU’s founder has openly stated that his goal is to “indoctrinate” children with right-wing ideology. They parrot qu…

Trump is tying the EPA’s hands behind its back

He’s throwing away our future so he can line the pockets of the fossil fuel lobby.   Friend — We’re not even through the first year of Trump’s administration. But it’s clear that when we finally get this wannabe-dictator out of office, we’re going to have a lot of work to do to get our cli…

a mind-blowing idea

  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…

$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 …

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…
