On the shutdown

Trump and Republicans have a clear contempt for the American people. On Tuesday at midnight, Republicans shut down the government. When Republicans rammed their Big, Ugly Bill through Congress, voting to cut health care for 15 million people, they set in motion a health care crisis. Becau…

Sending a powerful message from Washington

Why the end-of-quarter deadline matters Today is our end-of-quarter deadline: will you help us show the strength of our grassroots, people-powered movement and pitch in $25 or any amount you can today? Hey Movement family, in the coming days our campaign will be required by the Fed…

Trump’s priorities: Golf and attacking Black women

Add your name today and join us in demanding better for Black women who are being disproportionately harmed Movement family — here’s what I think Trump’s to-do list must look like: There is a long line of Black women who have been targets of this Administration. It is anti-Blackness…

Re: Republican hypocrisy

They don’t actually care about family values. Movement family, Republicans claim they’re the party of “family values,” but I can’t believe the things that they say because I see the things that they do. If Republicans cared about family values, they wouldn’t have approved cuts to vital pro…

Here’s a sobering statistic

Our grassroots campaign tells a different story. Movement family, here’s a sobering statistic: Only 1% of the US population contributed nearly 80% of all political contributions in 2023-2024. We’re talking about a tiny fraction of the public funding the majority of our democratic process. …

But our movement is now more important than ever. Seven years ago, we broke barriers and defied the odds. In 2018, I took on a 10-term incumbent Congressman. Pundits and pollsters said I didn’t have a chance. I was projected to lose by 20 points. But we built a strong, grassroots movement …
