Starting off on the wrong foot

Nothing is more important than protecting our rights and values from Trump’s attacks — and Tina will continue to be a powerful voice for our priorities in the Senate.   john, it’s safe to say that the second Trump Administration started off on the wrong foot. In his first hours in off…

Republicans’ crusade against reproductive rights continues

  john — 52 years ago today, the Supreme Court affirmed a woman’s constitutional right to access safe and legal abortion in their landmark ruling of Roe v. Wade. And after decades of lobbying and far-right activism, the Supreme Court overturned it in 2022. In a single moment, the Cour…

“We all do better when we all do better.”

  john — Donald Trump was sworn into his second term in office today. We’ve been through the challenges that come with a Trump Administration before — and although the challenges were many, there were also bright spots. We saw palpable grassroots energy around Democratic candidates an…

Trump’s extreme pick for FBI Director

  john, We know Donald Trump has a strong disregard for the rule of law — after all, he is a convicted felon. But his selection of Kash Patel for FBI Director is an alarming choice that poses even greater threats to our democracy. Kash Patel is already laying out his plans to abuse th…

Focus not on what Donald Trump says, but on what he does

  john — Donald Trump has more than proven himself to be an opponent of reproductive freedoms and women’s rights. That’s why I’m taking action — calling on the Senate to take up and vote on my bill, the Stop Comstock Act. Add your name to join me in demanding a vote on this legislatio…

A number I’m proud of

  $17.66, john.  That number represents our average online grassroots contribution this year, and it’s a number I’m incredibly proud of.  While things didn’t go our way in 2024, the fact that so many people like you chipped in $5, $10, or $17.66 at a time makes me more hopeful for the…

Believe what he does, not what he says

  john, If we learned one thing from the first Trump administration, it’s this: Believe what he does, not what he says. Donald Trump has flip-flopped his position on medication abortion more times than we can count. His latest position is that he’s going to protect it — but this is a …

Trump is not a “protector” of women
