The GOP wants Rev. Warnock’s Seat

It looks like yet another Republican is jumping into the race to beat Reverend Warnock for a Georgia Senate seat. Herschel Walker released a video this week indicating he’s running, and he’ll be tough to beat. He’s a big fan of Donald Trump, who encouraged him to run. The Atlanta …

They don’t want a fair fight

  They don’t want a fair fight. That’s the message Republicans have been sending through their actions. They’ve lost the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections and their policy positions are widely unpopular amongst the general public. But instead of shi…

Juneteenth.

  John — June 19th, 1865 is an independence day worth celebrating. Juneteenth marks the day that Union soldiers rode into Galveston,Texas to inform the enslaved population the Confederacy had fallen, and they were now free. This news came over two years after the Emancipation Procla…

An unprecedented, dangerous move

  Hi John,  You may have seen recent news that the Department of Justice under President Trump secretly subpoenaed phone and email records for dozens of reporters, Democratic members of Congress, and their families. This was an unprecedented, dangerous move of a paranoid tyrant pe…

can you keep a secret?

  *psst* hey you. We know you remember Stacey. Like Stacey Stacey. Should be Governor Abrams, but the GOP played dirty? Yeaaah. Well, Brian Kemp is up for reelection in 2022, and frankly we don’t think someone who cheated their way into a seat should be able to keep it. We don’t …

what is Marjorie Taylor Greene spending her millions on?

  John, what do you think Marjorie Taylor Greene is doing with the $3,217,567.30 she raised last quarter? She is probably: Running negative attack ads against Democrats. Disparaging COVID-19 vaccines. Comparing wearing masks to the Holocaust. Recruiting dozens of far-rig…

Already two opponents trying to defeat Senator Warnock!

  Not one, but two. That’s right — two Republicans have already announced their candidacy to unseat Rev. Warnock. The two men are convinced that Rev. Warnock is the boogeyman and horrible for Georgia. We’ll put it simply: Without electing Rev. Warnock and Sen. Ossoff, we wouldn…

shortening your commute everyday

  Hi John, Public transit serves many benefits — it gives workers a low-cost option to commute, provides thousands of good jobs, and helps the environment by reducing carbon emissions. That’s why Hank just introduced the Transformational Public Transit Bill. The bill will provide…

My 2020 opponent is leading the charge for an Arizona-style "forensic audit"

Is the filibuster outdated?

a slap in the face

  Hi John,  On January 6, rioters invaded our Capitol and forced our nation’s most powerful legislators to scramble for safety. Our Capitol should never have been invaded, and the events of that day resulted in tragic consequences. Recently, Republicans blocked the creation of a…
