I went to a food bank over the weekend to shine a light on Trump’s disastrous proposed cuts to food assistance

  Friends, I volunteered at a food bank over the weekend to do my part to provide for working families and to shine a light on Trump’s disastrous, impending cuts to food assistance. Food assistance like EBT (SNAP) and the Emergency Food Assistance Program help feed tens of millions of Amer…

It’s very personal

I hope you’ll let me explain   Friends — I know it’s a very personal thing to ask for your support. But I hope you’ll let me explain why I’m asking you to chip in $5 before our fundraising deadline at midnight. You see, your $5 funds everything this campaign does. Your $5 makes it possibl…

Mike Lee

re: Trump and RFK Jr.’s failed leadership when it comes to public health in America   Team, it sure seems like Utah Senator Mike Lee is trying to make the case that deadly measles outbreaks don’t bother him as long as immigrants are the ones affected. It’s a gross, dehumanizing deflection …

I’m rejecting corporate PAC money

Here’s why your energy bill is skyrocketing

Your energy bill shouldn’t go up just because Big Tech is going all-in on their A.I. arms race.   Friend — There’s a good chance your energy bill has gone way up over the last year, and there’s a simple explanation why: A.I. That’s right, as Big Tech companies like Meta and Open A.I. cont…

MAGA doesn’t know what patriotism means

In 1775, the ‘shot heard round the world’ was fired at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts, marking the beginning of the American Revolution   For people who love to call themselves ‘patriots’, MAGA Republicans don’t seem to understand the history of patriotism in this co…

Trump’s cruel cuts have consequences

The Republican agenda is straightforward: Take from the poor, give to the rich.   Friend — Earlier this year the Trump administration cut $500 million in funding from the Emergency Food Assistance Program. Enough to equal 94 million pounds of food. Now food banks across the country are scr…

10 times in a row

Quick note on the shutdown

Trans rights are worth fighting for

  Friend, I believe that transgender rights — and the rights of all LGBTQ+ people — are worth fighting for. That’s a non-negotiable for me. In 1996, I voted against the anti-LGBTQ+ Defense of Marriage Act, even though it was an unpopular position at the time. In 2010, I voted to repeal the…

Republicans are losing the argument

Blue states, red states

  Friends, when I go to the Senate floor to represent the people of Massachusetts, I fight for all of my constituents, not just those who voted for me. Donald Trump doesn’t see it that way. He’s happy to use this government shutdown as an excuse to exact revenge on voters in states that d…

It’s bigger than the shutdown

  Friends, this government shutdown is bigger than just one budget or one politician. This is a story about greed and corruption. For years in this country, the wealthiest have rigged the system to line their pockets at the expense of regular Americans. CEOs make 290 times more than the av…

A potential challenger
