What Republicans don't want to talk about

Hi John, It’s the same GOP playbook we’re used to. They know the public doesn’t side with them, so they change the subject. First it was the border, now it’s critical race theory. Republicans won’t engage with popular legislation passed by Democrats, so they try to drum up issues…

sea of red

  Hey John — we're up against history. We just won a crucial election in November, removing the dangerous Donald Trump for office. But his cronies in the GOP are just as harmful, and they could take control of Congress next year. Here’s what the election map looked like last tim…

I was arrested yesterday

  Hi John — I got arrested yesterday. Let me tell you why. For all but the last 56 years of our nation’s history, Black people have been denied the right to vote. Poll taxes, literacy tests, and white primaries were devices used to prevent us from voting. When that didn’t work, w…

Marjorie Taylor Greene rolling in cash

  Hi John — Did you see how much Marjorie Taylor Greene raised last quarter? She raised more than $1.5 million and has almost $3 million in cash on hand! Even worse, someone just registered a new domain for a potential Marjorie Taylor Greene Senate run in Georgia. And with that…

Taking on Big Tech

John, Over the past few decades, we’ve seen Big Tech monopolize industries and consolidate their power. A lack of competition harms consumers, which is why Democrats have been hard at work to pass antitrust reforms. The latest development in this work has been passing six major bi…

Can you help?

John, Suburbs around the country made the difference for President Biden in 2020 to beat Donald Trump. The suburbs around Atlanta played an especially important role, not only to carry Biden over the finish line in the presidential election, but in delivering Democrats control of t…

“fired on the spot”

John, Critical race theory considers how America’s history of racism impacts today’s society. It’s important not to ignore our past, but Marjorie Taylor Greene recently said that the concept is “completely evil” and should be outlawed. She even claimed that any teachers found teach…

We need climate action

John, Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. Scientists have been warning us for decades that changes from human activity are going to harm our way of life. As we’ve seen with increased flooding, drought, and wildfires, that harm has already arrived. Climate change…

One-third of Republicans

John, Our democracy is being threatened like never before. We all know how much Trump’s refusal to accept his loss last November damaged the foundations of this country, but unfortunately that harm is continuing and expanding. New reporting shows that one-third of Republicans who…

Checks and direct deposits in pockets

  Hey John, I have some good news. When Democrats took full control of Congress and the White House last year, we promised to clean up the mess that Donald Trump left us. That has meant dispersing millions of coronavirus vaccines, passing a massive economic stimulus bill, and now …

“Man it’s a hot one, like seven inches from the midday sun...”

  Being poor is more expensive than being rich in America. We hate to say it John, but it’s true.  Low-income Americans and those living well below the poverty line often struggle with problems that middle-income Americans rarely see. This becomes even more apparent when devastati…

Republicans control redistricting

  Hey John — did you see the news out of Politico? It’s nothing we didn’t already know, but the right-wing efforts to disenfranchise our communities are intensifying. They’d rather break neighborhoods apart and strip access to the ballot box than listen to address their constituen…

Republicans and White Supremacists

Donald Trump caused long-lasting harm to America in many ways, including the normalization of white supremacy in the Republican party. His success has led others in the GOP to embrace racism and nationalism. Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar has spoken at conferences and was advertised as at…

They’re coming for us

John, It took everything we had to beat Donald Trump last November, but there are many Trumpists who want to take his place. A spat of pro-Trump candidates recently jumped into governor’s races, each one worse than the last: Dan Cox, Maryland: Attended and arranged for buses to t…

the Supreme Court strikes again

  There is nothing more precious in this country than the right to vote. But Republicans — and now their conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court — believe that right doesn’t apply to voters of color. The Supreme Court recently allowed two Arizona laws to stand that direct…

Trump is starting again

Hi John — Did you see that Donald Trump held a rally in Ohio this past week? No surprise, he continued to spread lies to his supporters about his loss last November. He continues to stand up and say that the election was stolen from him, a claim that has been continually debunked b…
