Remembering Chris Hoven, a trailblazer for the LGBTQ community on Capitol Hill

  John, I have something personal to share with you today. Just over one month ago on Christmas Day, we lost my dear friend, colleague, and administrative assistant of 17 years, Christopher Hoven, after his brief struggle with a non-COVID related illness. I want to tell you a little abo…

re: Marjorie Taylor Greene

  John, I wanted to give you an update on our efforts to hold QAnon follower and Trump loyalist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accountable. Since Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy won’t do anything about Taylor Greene’s dangerous lies and hateful statements, Democrats will. Today, the…

Marjorie Taylor Greene

  John, Chances are you’ve heard a lot about Marjorie Taylor Greene this week. She’s an ardent Trump supporter, a QAnon conspiracy theorist, and… a newly elected Republican member of Congress from Georgia. It takes a lot to stand out as an extremist in Trump’s Republican Party, but Tayl…

Short and sweet

  John, I don’t want to take up too much of your time on a Sunday, so I’ll make this short and sweet. Tonight at midnight is our campaign’s first grassroots fundraising deadline of the year, and with Trump loyalists in the GOP already working to get him involved in fighting to take back…

Our first chance

  Hey John — Tomorrow, we face our very first end-of-month fundraising deadline. It’s our first chance to show Republicans that Trump may be out of office, but our work is just beginning. Already, Adam is hard at work in Congress fighting for additional COVID-19 relief, including anothe…

Kevin McCarthy flew to Mar-a-Lago to beg Trump for help

  John, Just when you thought House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy — one of Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters who defended his dangerous actions and malicious lies every step of the way — couldn’t sink any lower, he does this: That’s right. McCarthy took a plane to Mar-a-Lago to gro…

H.R. 1

  John, You and I both know that the past four years under the Trump administration have done immense damage to our democracy, our norms, and our institutions. Not only did Trump and his sycophants in Congress do everything in their power to sabotage vote-by-mail in an election year imp…

BREAKING: Tucker Carlson attacked Adam and defended white supremacists

Trump and our democracy’s fate are in the Senate’s hands

  John, In just a couple hours, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is transmitting the article of impeachment against former President Trump to the Senate, setting the stage for a trial to begin just two weeks from now. When the House impeached Donald Trump, just days after he incited a violent…

Petition: Ban Trump from receiving post-presidential intel briefings

  John, It feels good to say it: Donald J. Trump is no longer president. Our country is already much safer because of that, but the damage that Trump has done to our national security will take a long time to repair. And there’s still a risk he could do more damage, even out of office, …

Donald J. Trump is no longer president

  John, Finally, it is here! The day we’ve been waiting for, hoping for, praying for — the day Donald Trump finally left office. The day we have a new president, an ethical president, a decent president, a president devoted to bringing us together, not splitting us apart. It’s Inaugurat…

Add Your Name: The Senate should convict Trump ASAP

  John, For the second time, the U.S. House voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump, this time for inciting a violent insurrection. His impeachment will now go down in history as only the fourth in U.S. history, and the first president to be impeached twice. Impeachment is a rare and…

re: impeachment

  John — One week ago, I was standing on the House floor. Down the street in front of the White House, the President was whipping a mob into a frenzy with false claims of a stolen election. It was a lie. A big lie. The same big lie he’d been telling for months. He told the mob “we are g…

Here’s what is going to happen tomorrow with the Electoral College

  John, Since the 2016 election, Donald Trump has careened from crisis to crisis, undermining our democracy at every stage. In doing so, he’s been enabled by Republicans in Congress, and this week, we’ve truly reached a new and dangerous low. With Trump still denying the results of the …
