“What does this billionaire want from me?”

Hank Johnson for Congress How could that not be Clarence Thomas’ first thought!? John, The steady drip of new information about GOP mega-donor Harlan Crow financing the life of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is getting downright embarrassing. Become a citizen co-sponsor of the …

It’s been over a week

Hank Johnson for Congress We wanted to make sure this was for real before celebrating. John, Tucker Carlson has never been a big fan of Hank’s. But then again, Tucker Carlson has never been a big fan of common sense, decency, diversity, multiculturalism, the Constitution, or a robust …

He’s running

Hank Johnson for Congress and MAGA Republicans are dead set on tearing him down and taking our country backward. John, President Biden is running for re-election, and I’m proud to throw my support behind him. He’s going to need all of the help he can get, especially with MAGA Republic…

How did it come to this?

John,   When you think of Republicans on their worst behavior, Tim Scott doesn’t normally come to mind.   The South Carolina Republican has been generally reserved and measured during his time in the U.S. Senate. He’s made a visible effort to stay above the fray, sometimes tryin…

Clarence Thomas’ allies are lashing out at Hank

You know you’re over the target when you start catching the flak.   And John — right now Hank is catching some serious flak.   Trump official Mark Paoletta has gone complaining to the right-wing “media” outlet Daily Caller, attacking both Hank and his wife Mereda.   Then, Pa…

McCarthy to Wall Street: Let’s harm American families

Well, John —   New York City was teeming with MAGA Republicans on Monday.   While I was there exposing Jim Jordan’s hearing on crime for what it truly was (a sad, pathetic attack on District Attorney Alvin Bragg), Kevin McCarthy was just downtown at the New York Stock Exchange…

John –    On Monday, Hank sent a letter to Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan, demanding that they hold a hearing and a floor vote on the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency (SCERT) Act — a bill that Hank introduced to create a code of ethics for Supreme Court justices. …

“props in a MAGA Broadway production”

Supporters of ex-President Donald Trump don’t like it when I speak the truth.   So when I dropped some truth on Jim Jordan’s sham hearing in New York City yesterday… well, John — I got an earful.   “The Republican witnesses who have used their time to criticize District Atto…

Hank’s plan has three prongs, John...

John,   Justice Clarence Thomas betrayed the public’s trust by accepting lavish gifts from billionaire and Republican mega-donor Harlan Crow. And just recently, ProPublica reported in a follow-up piece that Justice Thomas sold real estate here in Georgia to Crow in 2014 — a dire…

Racist, undemocratic behavior will not be tolerated

Fantastic news, John — expelled Tennessee Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson have been reappointed to serve in the state House after Republicans kicked them out.     That means that the vile plans of the Tennessee GOP to silence two young Black men and (yet again…

If Clarence Thomas doesn’t resign

Hey John,   Yesterday I asked you to join me in calling for Justice Clarence Thomas to resign following a bombshell revelation about how he secretly accepted lavish gifts and vacations from GOP dark money mega-donor Harlan Crow.   Well, hundreds of my supporters have signed the petition so fa…

A picture is worth 751 opinions.

Clarence Thomas has written 751 Supreme Court opinions.   But one picture sums up Thomas’ legacy on the nation’s highest court better than any of the rulings or dissents he’s authored.     Despite the photorealism, that’s actually a painting, commissioned by billionaire dark…

Our justice system is now in control.

John,   Today, ex-President Donald Trump was arraigned in Manhattan on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.   I was a criminal defense attorney for 27 years before coming to Congress, and I can tell you that criminal charges are traumatic for all parties involved. …

Hi John,   Hank again, letting you know we’re soooo close to our goal. But we’re still $172 behind. So I’m humbly asking you — if you haven't yet donated to our end-of-quarter push — to donate before midnight and help us reach our goal. Here’s a link where you can donate any amount: https://secu…

John, I need you to know — everything just changed in the fight to flip the House:   → 1. NBC News just released their very first poll of the year, and Republicans are leading in the race for Congress by just ONE point.   → 2. This is our first solid proof-point that the conte…

Fwd: “Pencils down.”

Hey John,   Making sure you saw this email from Hank. It’s super important that we meet this goal, and I can’t stress enough how gleeful Republicans are as they wait in the wings and hope we fail.   Please, if you can, we need your support before tonight’s deadline. You can donate at on…

“Pencils down.”

Hi John,   I’m truly grateful for the contributions from so many of my supporters, especially in the last couple days. We’re all in this together, and my work in Congress isn’t about me or any one group of people. It’s about all of us.   But truth be told, we’re still signif…

There’s right and there’s wrong...

Hi John,   Have you seen my husband Hank on the news lately?   Because I saw him on C-SPAN the other day (yes, we’re C-SPAN nerds in this household), and the way he was talking, I could have sworn there was still a Democratic majority in the U.S. House.   See, Hank hasn’t …

We know, John. It’s a lot.

Right now your inbox is probably seeing a lot more fundraising emails than usual, John.   Trust us, we know. We get them, too. But there’s a really important reason.   In 2 days, we’ll finish up the first quarter of 2023 — the first federal fundraising period since Republicans …

Sweet 16 of MAGA

John,   It’s that time of year again — when you turn to your brackets, measure this year’s performance, and determine who will come out on top in March MAGA-ness!   We have 16 conservative darlings — who hold or have held elected office — competing for the championship, but o…

My back’s against a wall, John.

Enter Kevin McCarthy

What’s worse than a former president trying to incite violence to subvert the rule of law?   The answer? His enablers — the leaders who should know better but who are either too giddy at the prospect of violence, or too afraid for their political futures to stop him.   If you al…

Staying true to my promise

John,   I’m sure I’ve made clear how I feel about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. But just for the record, I’ll say it again.   DeSantis is a bully. He gets his kicks by beating up on the voiceless and he does it to get affirmation from a loud, dominant, and ultraconservative …

“Whistleblowers” with air quotes
