Trump wants to win in Minnesota — and he’ll do everything he can to make it happen

  john — A lot is riding on Minnesota this November. And Donald Trump wants to win here, badly. He headlined a fundraiser for the Minnesota GOP Party earlier this year, helping them raise nearly $1 million. Trump’s campaign is also opening 8 offices across Minnesota and hiring staff t…

Happy Independence Day!

  Hi john, Happy Independence Day! I hope you get to spend this holiday 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 indebted to t…

It’s time

  john, I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of how often the Supreme Court is in the news these days. There’s a new story every other day about Justices Alito and Thomas and their ties to the radical right, and far too many decisions in the past few years demonstrate the partisan a…

A pretty wild story, if you have a minute

Back when I was that kid sleeping on the floor of our apartment, I never could’ve guessed this is how things would turn out. When I was a Marine in Iraq, I never could’ve guessed that I’d have to fight to defend our democracy at home.   john, my friend Ruben Gallego asked if his team c…

Shameful

  john, Today’s shameful Supreme Court decision — a decision that grants Trump immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” as President — was decided 6-3. Donald Trump’s very own appointed Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett ruled in…

The GOP is spending record-breaking money to defeat me – and we need to fight back.   john, this is Sherrod Brown. I just got some news you need to hear: The GOP is going all out to flood the Ohio airwaves with attack ads against me. More money is being spent on TV ads heading into the…

The GOP play for Minnesota

Republicans are making a heavy play for Minnesota.   john — A recent Politico article named the five state legislatures most likely to flip this November. Minnesota is on that list. Right now, Democrats hold full control of the state legislature — and as a result, Governor Tim Walz has…

My thoughts on last night’s debate

  john, in a surprise to practically no one, Donald Trump took the debate stage last night to spread lie after lie about Democrats’ accomplishments. He even took a direct shot at Minnesota — parroting the same old bigoted and misinformed talking points he’s been using for years about …

Are you watching the debate tonight?

  In a few short hours, President Biden and Donald Trump will take the debate stage for the first time this year. And john, we can expect more of the same from Trump. He’ll lie and exaggerate his record. He’ll deny any wrongdoing or accountability. And he’ll certainly attack Democrats…

Outpaced

  john, this headline from The Hill has us very concerned: Republican fundraising is sky-rocketing around Trump’s recent conviction on 34 felony counts. Unfortunately, his claims of a “witch hunt” and his rallying cry to the MAGA base are working. Tina needs to see a surge of Democra…

A somber anniversary

The summer fundraising slump

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