You can still fight for our democracy from home

We heard you loud and clear -- you're ready to take action. Here's how you can do that in the safest way possible. I won't lie to you -- this is a scary time. None of us know how long this will last or what will happen next. What I do know is that America is still a democracy, and it's m…

Expanding voting by mail should be one of Congress's priorities. Make a call now:

Congress must make vote-by-mail a priority. Like so many Americans, I'm worried. I'm thinking about the safety of my family, friends, neighbors, and people all over the world -- and about how COVID-19 will impact one of the most important elections of our lifetime. While it's not clear h…

You deserve to be represented in Congress You know better than anyone else: Washington, D.C. is an important part of our country. It's our nation's capital, the hub of our federal politics and government, and is home to some of our country's most meaningful landmarks. It's also a place …

I'm angry, too. Help us fight back.

Trump betrayed our country -- and the Senate did nothing to stop him. It's time to mobilize like never before so we can take our democracy back in November. Today is a shameful day for our country. Senate Republicans had an opportunity to stop Trump and protect our democracy, but they c…

We will not let this trial end quietly. Take to the streets with us:

There are over 270+ rallies. Find yours now. It's a tough morning. The Iowa caucuses were a mess, the State of the Union coverage is everywhere, and it's all but certain that the GOP-controlled Senate will vote to acquit Donald Trump today. Never mind that Trump has abused his presidenti…

ACTION ALERT: We're taking to the streets on Wednesday to protest Trump's sham acquittal

There's power in numbers. Join a rally happening near you. I'll be honest -- this Senate impeachment trial is a sham. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell designed the whole thing to shield Trump at all costs, working in full coordination with the White House to ensure acquittal. The …

After 10 years of Citizens United, there's reason for hope

How will you be standing up to big money in 2020? This week marks 10 years since the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that opened the door to unlimited corporate money and unrestricted outside spending in our elections. By now, the problem is all too familiar. We have seen an explo…

We did it! We got election security funding.

We kept the pressure on Moscow Mitch and won the election security fight. It came down to the wire, but we did it. We got election security funding for 2020. On Thursday, the House and the Senate came together and allocated $425 million to states and localities to help ensure the safety …

We're running out of time to protect our elections

We need to make our last stand in the election security fight. 2019 is coming to a close and we're running out of time to safeguard our elections. On December 20, Congress will go on recess and won't be back until 2020 -- and by then, it could be too late.Right now, the election security…

These hearings were a call to action. It's time to rally:

BREAKING: "Was there a quid pro quo? The answer is yes."

Ambassador Sondland confirmed that everyone was in the loop to bribe Ukraine, including VP Pence and Secretary Pompeo. "Was there a quid pro quo?... The answer is yes." It doesn't get much clearer than that. This morning, Ambassador Gordon Sondland -- a major Trump donor -- kicked off th…
