This is a rare moment in history

  John, Our healthcare system is broken. We spend more than any other country and for often terrible outcomes — like sky-high maternal mortality right here in Texas. People can’t afford doctors and so we get sick more often. Profits go up for corporations, but bankruptcies rise for the p…

  John, There is a lot going on in the news: Iran, impeachment, the presidential election, and more every day. It is hard to break through the noise. So, I wanted to make sure you saw that we pulled in another big endorsement — Jolt Action! Progressive groups in Texas and all over the co…

Impeachment
