Four groups on the front lines fighting for justice

  Dear John,  All of us were sickened and appalled when just last week we witnessed the final moments of George Floyd’s life, as a Minneapolis police officer put his knee on Mr. Floyd’s neck and kept it there for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. We were horrified, and yet with added horror, we…

Just making sure you saw this

  John, just making sure you saw this message from my team earlier today.  Tonight is our end-of-month fundraising deadline, and I'm going up against one of President Trump's biggest fans in my race for re-election this November. Scroll down to see some of the ridiculous things …

What our opponent has said

  John,  This November, Adam is up for re-election to continue representing California’s 28th district in Congress, and his GOP opponent is a far-right super fan of, you guessed it, Donald Trump.  Our opponent regularly goes on Fox News, and even nuttier OAN, to bash Adam, heap praise o…

re: Trump

  John, did you catch my message yesterday? After President Trump attacked me by name-dropping me in his latest (likely illegal) executive order, he went on to directly attack me on Twitter, again. Look, Trump is only going to continue to attack me, our democracy, and our rule o…

Trump’s tweet

  John,  It’s only been a few hours since Adam emailed you about the President’s latest false and pathetic attacks, this time included in an Executive Order. Well, he’s already doing it again, this time on Twitter. If it wasn’t already obvious to everyone that Donald Trump personally in…

Trump’s frightening effort to crack down on the First Amendment

  John,  A few days ago, you may have noticed Twitter added a link to fact-check President Trump’s most recent, false rant against allowing Americans to safely vote during a pandemic. At that point, Trump had two choices. If he didn’t like people pointing out his falsehoods, he could te…

re: Sean Hannity

  John,  These are unprecedented times we’re living in, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the obsession that President Trump and his sycophants like Fox News anchor Sean Hannity have with Adam. And their unhinged attacks. In order to distract from Trump’s disastrous handling of the p…

Help keep one of the most vulnerable House seats

  Hi John, I'll keep this quick. Last year, I agreed to be the Frontline Finance Chair for the House Democrats, which means I signed up to help make sure our frontline members have the resources they need to win their reelection. And I was happy to do it, because these are the members w…

Demand the Senate pass the Heroes Act now

  Team, Last week, I was proud to help pass the Heroes Act to put more money in Americans’ pockets, extend unemployment benefits, provide hazard pay to frontline workers, and increase financial aid to small businesses and states and cities. With millions of Americans unemployed and food…

Another Friday night massacre

  Team, Last Friday, in the dead of night, President Trump fired yet another inspector general – this time, it was the State Department’s inspector general. Trump has fired a lot of inspectors general. The Intelligence Community IG. The HHS and Transportation IGs. And the Defense Depart…

We need to flip this seat to take back the Senate

  Team,  Listen, you’ve heard me talk many times about how important it is to hold on to our House Majority. And I don’t have to tell you how vital it is to elect Joe Biden and restore leadership and decency to the White House. But if we’re going to really turn the page in 2021 and pass…

We can’t make this stuff up

  Team, of all the attacks Adam has received from the far-right these past couple of weeks, this one has to be the most absurd. Greg Gutfeld of Fox News went on two unhinged, ridiculous rants this week claiming that Adam is to blame for the coronavirus pandemic and resulting 85,000 Amer…

Bill Barr

  Dear team, Bill Barr auditioned for the role of Attorney General by writing a lengthy memo arguing in favor of a fringe legal theory that a President could not obstruct justice. From the very beginning, Barr has made it clear that he would be Trump’s man in the Department of Justice, …

re: Tucker Carlson

  These attacks from the GOP are getting out of hand, team. Over the past week, Adam was mentioned on Fox News more than 250 times, and President Trump tweeted about him at least ten times on just Sunday alone. Plus, after Tucker Carlson called for Adam to resign, multiple far-r…

Help Adam Fight Back Against Tucker Carlson and Fox

  Team, In the middle of a pandemic that has taken the lives of 80,000 Americans, Fox News and Tucker Carlson have their priorities in order: They’re attacking Adam and even calling on him to resign. Last week, Carlson spent ten minutes ranting about Adam, lying about his work to hold T…

"Shifty Schiff"

  Team, just hours after Donald Trump went on Fox and Friends to call Adam a "dirty," "crooked" "liar" who's "going down," he couldn't help himself: Trump attacked Adam yet again. This time, Trump started rambling during a roundtable with his most devoted GOP congressional sycop…

Trump attacked me. Again.

  Team, This morning, the “President” went on Fox and Friends. Instead of mourning the death of more than 70,000 Americans, or empathizing with the 20 million newly unemployed, or announcing a national testing strategy, guess what he did? That’s right: Trump attacked me instead. Again. …

BREAKING: Charges against Michael Flynn dropped

  Breaking news, team: The Justice Department just announced that it is seeking to dismiss the criminal case against Trump’s former national security advisor, Michael Flynn. It’s disgusting. Michael Flynn pleaded guilty – twice – for lying about his illicit Russian contacts. And remembe…

Cindy Axne and Abby Finkenauer

Americans should hear from Dr. Fauci and experts

  Hey team, We’re now just hours away from our April fundraising deadline, and while we’ve seen an influx of grassroots donations over the past few days, we’ll be honest – we’re still not where we need to be in order to hit our goal. With all in-person fundraising events canceled for th…

My endorsement for president

  Dear friend, There are two paths before us this November. One path is the one we are already on, with a degradation of our democracy and the rule of law, the devastation of our health care, and damage to our nation that will be near irreparable. That is the path of reelecting Donald T…
