Voter suppression is their strategy

  John — At every level, Republicans are attacking our democracy. Alarm bells are going off, and I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say our democracy is in crisis. Republicans in 47 state legislatures have introduced more than 360 bills to suppress the vote ahead of the 2022 electi…

A secret call between a Mitch McConnell aide and the Koch brothers’ network

  John — While Republicans in state legislatures across the country pass bills to suppress the right to vote, Mitch McConnell is working at a frenetic pace to give them political cover and take back the House and Senate in 2022. The New Yorker report “Inside the Koch-Backed Effort to …

Here’s my bill to take on the NRA

  John — We are just 100 days into 2021, and we’ve already lost over 11,000 people to gun violence, another 8,000 have been injured, and there have been 133 mass shootings. We are the only developed nation in the world that tolerates this kind of bloodshed, and it doesn’t have to be t…

Please fill this out when you have the time

  John — It’s been less than a month since Congress passed the historic American Rescue Plan, and it’s already making a huge difference — accelerating the vaccine rollout, creating jobs, and getting help to Americans who need it now. But we’re not done, not by a long shot, and Congres…

Save the Post Office

    John — Republican megadonor and current Postmaster General Louis DeJoy just announced a disastrous 10-year plan for the Postal Service. Donald Trump spent four years selling our government institutions to the highest bidder — and until the Senate confirms President Biden…

Why does Donald Trump’s Postmaster General still have his job?

  John — You might be wondering why Republican megadonor and Donald Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is still sabotaging our Postal Service under the new Biden Administration. I am too. And I’ll get to the reason, and what we can do about it, but first, here are the …

This is a long email about the Senate filibuster

  John — This is a long email, and by the time you’re done reading it, I hope you’ll be as ready as I am to eliminate the filibuster in the Senate once and for all. Give me a moment to explain. As soon as the new Congress was sworn in this January, we got to work passing an historic, …

voter suppression

  John — Republicans in 43 states have introduced 253 voter suppression bills since Donald Trump’s Big Lie spurred the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. In Georgia, one of those bills — SB 202 — just became law. This anti-democratic bill gives state officials the power to overrul…

The QAnon Caucus

Boulder, CO

Sean Hannity’s latest attack on Adam

Remember Louis DeJoy?

  John, Remember Louis DeJoy? He’s the big time Republican donor who parlayed his contributions into being Donald Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General. And he’s still in charge of the U.S. Postal Service. In the months leading up to last November’s critical election, DeJoy took steps …

Trump’s response to the Senate acquittal

Marjorie Taylor Greene
