Just a dollar means a lot right now

BREAKING: Mitch just launched a new attack ad

Mitch took a long weekend during a global health crisis. Now, he has the gall to attack me for calling him out on it. Friend, Mitch McConnell’s campaign just released a new attack ad, and it’s a new low—even for him. In the ad, Mitch calls me a liar and pats himself on the back for …

My daughter, my senator

It’s unconscionable that Mitch McConnell isn't at work

Nothing in a democracy can be taken for granted

February has been a reminder that it’s on all of us to step up and fight for our democracy. Friend, what a month it’s been. Mitch McConnell bragged on TV about all the bipartisan bills he’s blocking in the Senate and refused to uphold his constitutional duty to hold a fair trial. Hu…
