NationBuilder Friend,Around this time last month, I was still holding out hope that Republican members of Congress might find the strength and the moral courage to hold Trump accountable for his crimes.And then Devin Nunes threatened to sue me for telling the truth about his role …

Devin Nunes wants to sue me

NationBuilder Friend,A few weeks ago, I sent an email out to all of my supporters in which I wrote that Devin Nunes worked with Lev Parnas and conspired to undermine our own government. It's entirely true, the record backs me up, and I stand by every word. But Rep. Nunes is afraid…

Here are the stories you might have missed in 2019

NationBuilder Friend,With multiple harmful policy decisions by Trump and Republicans, it's hard to not miss things. In my own small way, I try to highlight the most important issues of the day in these emails, but it’s impossible to cover everything. That’s why today, I wanted to …

It’s 2020: Let’s fight.

NationBuilder Friend,Congress is back in session, and I’m getting right to work.Like last year, we’ll still have plenty of obstacles in our way: a corrupt and unfit president; a White House full of co-conspirators; an obstructive Senate majority leader, and unprincipled Republican…

Only Congress has the power to declare war

NationBuilder Friend,In 2016, Donald Trump ran on the promise to pull our nation back from the brink of “endless wars.”This was a lie.The new year has only just begun, and already we’re hurtling towards conflict with Iran, alienating key allies, and reversing years of hard-earned …

Why I voted to impeach Donald Trump

Keeping “Reagan Country” Blue!

NationBuilder Friend,As anyone living in Southern California can tell you, our communities have long been referred to as “Reagan Country.” But last November, we changed that -- thanks in large part to the work of Blue Momentum. Can you chip in $200, $100, or $50 today so that Democr…

It’s California vs. Trump

California's cars are driving Trump nuts
