Actions speak louder than empty promises and bold-faced lies

  john, it's Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, and I wanted to make sure you saw my opponent's latest stunt. Last Thursday, Rick Scott voted against a bill that would protect access to IVF. And the very next day, he released an ad promising to do the exact opposite. john, Floridians know that …

Washington Post: Democrats seek to repeal Comstock abortion rule, fearing Trump crackdown

  john — Tina is sounding the alarm bells around the Comstock Act, an obscure law from the 1870s that the anti-abortion movement is scheming to misuse to revoke abortion access. Help Tina protect abortion access. Please, add your name in support of ending this outdated, dangerous leg…

I’m thinking of Ms. Opal Lee

  Happy Juneteenth, john! Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in 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, which freed the last enslaved Americans. It’s nev…

We can’t leave reproductive freedoms in the hands of the Supreme Court

If we fall short…

  john — We’re halfway through June, which means we should be just about 50% of the way to our online fundraising goal for June. Bad news: We’re only 30% of the way to our goal. This is especially troubling because Tina has an important fundraising deadline at the end of the month. Wh…

Trump’s massive fundraising haul
