Protect access to medication abortion

  john —  Roe v. Wade has been overturned by the Supreme Court, and with the fundamental right to an abortion gone, Tina is fighting back right now to protect abortion access any way she can. That’s why Tina introduced the Protecting Access to Medication Abortion Act, which would prot…

Happy Fourth of July!

  john — I hope you are enjoying the long Fourth of July weekend, spending time with family and friends in celebration and reflection on our nation’s history. As I reflect on that history, I’m reminded of how far we’ve come and the people who got us to where we are today. We are indeb…

Abortion rights are on the ballot in Minnesota

  john – The Supreme Court might have stripped away the constitutional right to an abortion, but they don’t get the final say. Now that states are the new battleground in the fight for reproductive freedom, the landscape has shifted. Without Roe v. Wade as a safeguard federally, Minne…

This week’s hearing was a warning

My official GOP opponent

  Michael Bennet here, john. It’s official: Joe O’Dea is my Republican opponent in the general election. Here’s what you need to know about Joe O’Dea: He was endorsed by the Colorado NRA and opposes new gun safety legislation that would keep Coloradans safe, He came out against Colo…

15 free minutes

  I have just 15 free minutes today, and Tina asked me to reach out to you, john. I’ve been busy reaching out to voters around Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District and fighting for working families in Congress, so any amount of uninterrupted time is rare. Don’t get me wrong, I love …

Expand the Supreme Court

  john, Our Constitution established the Supreme Court to prevent partisan interests from biasing the justices’ decisions and to serve as a safeguard for our democracy. One thing it doesn’t include? The number of Justices that sit at any given time — that’s determined by Congress, and…

Every single one of my opponents is pushing an anti-choice agenda

  john — Tina's friend Senator Maggie Hassan here and I'll get right to it: The stakes of this election have never been higher. A woman’s right to make her own decisions about her body is fundamental to everything else. But that right is under attack across the country. Right now, the…

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade

  john, We knew this was coming. Earlier today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — declaring that women in this country are NOT guaranteed the freedom to make their own decisions about abortion. The Supreme Court, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans, and radical Republican …

john, we need your voice in the fight against gun violence

  john, This year alone, there have been 268 mass shootings. Americans die from guns at a higher rate than almost anywhere else in the world. It is an epidemic of violence. But now, the Senate is closer than ever to passing legislation to strengthen gun safety. Led by Democratic Senat…

Happy Juneteenth, john!

  Happy Juneteenth, john! Juneteenth marks the end of slavery America. On June 19th, 1865, a full two-and-a-half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Major General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 in Galveston, Texas, that freed the last enslaved people in America. And …

This is the last mid-month deadline of the fundraising quarter.

  john, Tina is outraged — like most Americans — by the complete gutting of abortion rights across the country. Now, with the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v. Wade at any moment, we need to call it like it is: the logical end goal of the Republican Party is to ban abortion nati…

It’s important to me to know this
