re: deadline

  John — I’ll keep this short. In just a few hours, we’ll hit the second FEC deadline of the cycle — marking the unofficial start of the 2022 midterm election. That’s why I’m reaching out to ask you directly: Can I count on you to chip in $10 before tonight’s FEC fundraising deadline …

Personally asking —

  John — Last weekend, Donald Trump attacked me personally at his first major political rally since inciting the Capitol riot on January 6th. More importantly, he’s galvanizing his supporters to take back power in the midterms and reclaim the White House two years later. So when I tel…

Just $1

  John — Even if you’ve never donated to Adam before, just $1 will bring us closer to reaching our quarterly goal of 65,000 contributions by tomorrow’s midnight FEC deadline. Can you donate just $1 right now? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation…

Donald Trump is once again attacking me personally

  John — Donald Trump is once again back on the road, and during a rally this weekend he told a crowd of thousands in Ohio that he thinks I’m “the worst.” Look, I’ve got some pretty thick skin after years of being personally vilified and attacked by the former president and his allie…

Not sure if we can do this

  Hey there, John — I wanted to take a moment to send you a note about the FEC deadline that’s coming up on Wednesday. Look, it’s no secret that Donald Trump and the talking heads at Fox News have bashed me relentlessly over the years to incite the fury of their right-wing base. So Na…

Our 5-seat House majority

    John — we’re heading into the 2022 midterms with a 5-vote House majority, and a razor-thin 50-50 Senate margin. Historically, the president’s party loses an average of 26 House seats and 4 Senate seats in the midterms. That means we need every dollar possible to defend ou…

Louis DeJoy

  John — I’m emailing you again with more bad and frustrating news about the Postal Service. A Washington Post analysis has revealed major anticipated slowdowns under Donald Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General, and Republican megadonor, Louis DeJoy. DeJoy’s disastrous 10-year plan …

I need your help to defeat Marco Rubio

  Hey John — Adam Schiff and I stood shoulder to shoulder during the first impeachment trial and have been through the absolute wringer together in Congress. Adam knows a good fight when he sees one – so he suggested I reach out to you. Why? Because I just announced that I'm running …

The For the People Act failed, here’s why:

  John — Last night, Mitch McConnell was able to block the most important voting rights and anti-corruption bill in decades. Why? Because of a relic of the Jim Crow era – the filibuster. Democrats voted unanimously to push forward and debate the For the People Act on the Senate floor.…

  Hey! We’re trying to throw a bit of a surprise for Adam today – because it’s his birthday! Usually, he tries to keep his birthday under wraps, but this has been a long year. From the pandemic, to another impeachment, and well… lots of other stuff that he’s emailed you about. That’s …

re: our democracy

  John — I’ve spent the last week thinking about what it means that Donald Trump’s Justice Department subpoenaed records related to Members of Congress, our staff, and family. And my concerns have only grown. Not because this is about me. It isn’t. Far from it. In fact, I’m not even s…

#3 House Republican attacks Adam

The latest attacks on Adam

  John — It’s really hard to know where to begin after the last seventy-two hours. If you’ve been watching the news, you’ve seen Adam’s name in headlines quite a bit the last three days. Over the last four years, Donald Trump has repeatedly lied about Adam, smeared him with false alle…

The AR-15 is not a Swiss Army Knife

  John — A federal judge just overturned California’s assault weapons ban. He likened the AR-15 to a “Swiss Army Knife.” And then spread an anti-vax falsehood that “more people have died from the Covid-19 vaccine than mass shootings in California.” This is a direct result of Republica…

Eye-popping GOP fundraising numbers

Trump Postmaster General Louis DeJoy under FBI investigation

GOP minority rule

  John — 54 yea. 35 nay. The nayes have it. Last week, 35 nay votes was all it took for Senate Republicans to filibuster and kill the bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6th attack on the Capitol. In a deadlocked 50-50 Senate, the filibuster requires 60 votes to end debat…

re: Arizona “Recount”

  John — The state of today’s Republican Party is grim. If you tell the truth, you’re out. If you want to get to the bottom of the events of January 6, you’re ostracized. If you want to work with Democrats on anything, you’re told to take a hike. Instead, they're praising and pushing …
