asking

  I’m emailing you for just $4. Let me explain. To take back the Senate in November, Democrats only need to flip four seats. But we can only guarantee victory if we protect incumbents like myself. Minnesota is a must-win state to take back the majority, which is why it's the top targ…

Holy cow!

  Holy cow, folks! We just got word that Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee raised $61.7 million in April alone. Altogether, they’re beginning this general election with more than $255 million in cash on hand — a massive advantage. With this huge new pile of…
