This far-right organization has held our courts under siege - now they are poised to conquer them

  Many Americans are understandably in shock as Donald Trump is poised to appoint a far-right jurist to replace the legendary Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. But this isn’t a surprise, John, this is the fruition of a plan that has been long in the making. Let me explain. …

Lindsey Graham WAY WAY DOWN

John — We can’t believe it! A brand new poll shows Lindsey Graham **TIED** with Democrat Jaime Harrison. We are over the moon here at Hank HQ. But we can’t let this moment pass us by. Will you rush a split contribution to Jaime Harrison and Hank? If you've saved your paym…

Thank you

  September wasn’t an easy month. My opponent launched her first video ad of the General Election. Senior Justice Department officials announced that they were refusing to testify before the Judiciary Committee because I was "too mean" to Attorney General William Barr when he tr…

Trump paid less in taxes than you and me

  John, This bombshell report from The New York Times proves what we already knew: Donald Trump is a liar, a cheat, and a fraud. He’s not a billionaire. He’s deep into debt — over $400 million dollars — and paid nothing, or as little as $750 in federal income taxes. Average Americ…

checking in with John

  Hi John,  The truth is: We are just weeks away from the most consequential election of our lives. Decency is on the ballot. The soul of our nation is on the ballot. Oh, and my husband Hank Johnson is on the ballot, too.  Through these last four years, my husband Hank has been a …

Our opponent’s first ad attacks Hank

Mike Espy is one point away from making history!

Several top DOJ official refuse to testify because I was too mean to William Barr

  John, Last July, William Barr came before the Judiciary Committee to answer our questions. But instead of giving testimony, he put on a show for Donald Trump. I was determined to not let him get away with it, so I held his feet to the fire and demanded answers to our committee’s …

Will you stop Trump from stealing the election?

  John — Donald Trump is willing to do WHATEVER it takes to remain in power after the 2020 Election.   That includes sowing chaos and confusion in order to undermine our faith in the democratic process, taking a page straight out of Putin’s playbook for autocrats.   Trump’s pla…

Hank’s opponent says she’s “just like Trump”

  John,   I wish I could say this is unbelievable: Hank’s opponent, Johsie Cruz, was featured in a Covington News piece — and some of her comments were incredibly alarming.   Our opponent says she’s, “just like Trump,” and she has the background to back it up. She was a vocal me…

Jon Ossoff is LEADING

We will honor her legacy by continuing the struggle for a more perfect union.

John, On Friday, we lost an American icon. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a prodigious public interest law litigator, and though small in stature, she stood taller than a giant in her role as a Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. She was a champion for the rights of …

Supreme Court Justice Ted Cruz?

These revelations about Trump are damning

John, Bob Woodward’s recorded interviews with President Trump provide irrefutable evidence that Trump lied to the American people about the severity of COVID-19 -- with deadly consequences. The tapes show that Trump knew that the coronavirus virus was airborne, yet he told t…

New report: Trump hates our veterans.

John, The Atlantic came out with a report that Donald Trump said that Americans who died in war are “losers” and “suckers.” He also requested that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, and called John McCain an “[expletive] loser.” That’s right -- the men and wom…

Barr: “Police being racist isn’t racist”

Wow, John. Can you believe this? William Barr, Trump’s corrupt attorney general, really thinks that it isn’t racist for police officers to treat Black people differently from white people. He also doesn’t believe systemic racism exists. If you've saved your payment infor…
