We can walk and chew gum at the same time

  Friend, One of the most pernicious GOP talking points coming out of last week’s events and our efforts to hold President Trump accountable is that Democrats should be focusing on addressing the issues facing Americans, not worrying about investigating the president’s misconduct. Well, …

Adam is under attack like never before

  In light of this week’s events, attacks from the president and his right-wing cheerleaders over at Fox News are only getting worse, team. It started with President Trump lashing out at Adam on Twitter and reverting to his favorite pastime of calling any effort to hold him accountable a …

A few thoughts

  Friend, It’s been quite a week. I’ve emailed you a lot over the last several days, because, well, I needed and wanted your help as Trump and his far-right echo chamber went after me. And as you have again and again, you’ve had my back and I’m grateful. Your words of encouragement have ma…

The latest attack from Trump

  This morning, President Trump has once again called on Adam to resign from Congress for working to hold this corrupt and dangerous president accountable: Well, we have some breaking news: Adam isn't going anywhere. It’s obvious: Trump is feeling the heat, and he’s trying to deflect b…

More attacks from Trump

  Friend, In the middle of talking to reporters about the shocking revelation that President Trump pressured Ukraine to make up dirt on Joe Biden, I was told President Trump had once again attacked me: When asked how it felt for the President to be live-tweeting attacks against me at tha…

We're not laughing

  President Trump just finished a rambling 45 minute news conference from the United Nations General Assembly, and after attacking the free press, he went after Adam. “The viciousness. And when you see little Adam Schiff go out and lie and lie and stand at the mic – smart guy by the way…

Today

  Friend, Today, in our efforts to hold the President of the United States accountable to the Constitution, the American people, and the rule of law, we have reached a tipping point. I said it this weekend: if President Trump truly pressured a foreign leader to make up dirt on one of his p…

BREAKING: Trump attacks Adam

  It happened again, Team. President Trump attacked Adam on Twitter, calling him by his favorite school yard insult: We know what’s happening here: Trump can’t handle the heat as Adam continues to fight for the truth and hold the president accountable to the people and rule of law. Wi…

re: Kavanaugh

  Brett Kavanaugh should not have been confirmed to the Supreme Court, team. Almost one year ago, we heard the courageous and gut-wrenching testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, describing how Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school. Her testimony was corroborated by multi…

more mass shootings than days in the year

  Friend, On this day in 1994, the Federal Assault Weapons Ban was passed by Congress with bipartisan support and signed into law. Ten years later, it was allowed to expire. Why? Three letters: the NRA. Powerful gun industry and lobbyist groups like the NRA know that a ban on military-sty…

Trump endorsed Dan McCready's opponent

  Team -- In just seven days, voters in North Carolina’s 9th congressional district will head to the polls to cast their ballot for their next member of Congress, and Democrats have unfinished business. This is the seat where massive absentee ballot fraud by Republicans resulted in no win…

More attacks from our opponent on Fox

It's pathetic

  Friend, Since he set foot in the White House two and a half years ago, I’ve said repeatedly that President Trump’s reckless and indecent conduct makes him the worst president in modern history. This past week, he’s continued to prove my point by: Suggesting we drop nuclear bombs on hur…

Domestic terrorism

  Friend, There’s no denying it: we are facing a real and rising threat from domestic terrorism, much of it driven by extreme, white nationalist ideology. Most recently in El Paso, but also in previous attacks in Pittsburgh, Charleston, and elsewhere, a common thread of homegrown hatred is …

Republicans are lining up to try to defeat Adam

What Lindsey Graham just said

Republicans committed election fraud in this district

we need fair maps
