Clowns belong in the circus

NationBuilder ...Not the House of Representatives. Friend, Speaker McCarthy has opened an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, without any evidence. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. He's kowtowing to the very worst of his party, the MAGA clowns who only care about their extremist age…

The next blue wave

NationBuilder Friend, We can't trust Republicans to lead. You know it, I know it, and based on the infighting we've seen on the debate stage and in Congress, even Republicans seem to know it. They're tearing each other?apart, and their antics are standing in our way as Democrats w…

NationBuilder Friend — Hi, it’s Congressman Pat Ryan (NY-18). Last year, we sent shockwaves around the country when we won an unprecedented August Special Election in Upstate New York. It was about freedom: I joined the race two weeks after the leaked SCOTUS decision in Dobbs v. J…

Turning up the heat

NationBuilder Friend, 81% of the world's population suffered from unusually hot temperatures this July. Were you part of the 81%? Blame climate deniers. For as long as they hold the majority in the House, Republicans will continue to ignore the very real, existential threat of cli…

Enough already

NationBuilder Friend, Republicans have been in control of the House for well over 200 days. And every day they've held the majority, we've been forced to watch them turn the House into a circus. There's been infighting, ridiculous impeachment attempts (based on zero evidence), and…

I bet we can raise more $$$ than Ron DeSantis
