re: New Mexico special

  Hi John — My name is Melanie Stansbury, and my friend Adam Schiff asked me to reach out. I’m running to keep Deb Haaland’s seat Blue and represent the people of New Mexico’s First Congressional District. Our special election is just 8 days away, and Republicans are doing everything…

Heritage Foundation

  “It can’t be that easy.” John, those are the words of a former Trump official who now leads the right-wing Heritage Foundation. During a closed door meeting she was bragging about suppressing the vote to their big-money donors. And there’s a video to prove it. In battleground states…

175 Republicans just voted against a bipartisan commission

  John — Mitch McConnell just announced his opposition to forming a January 6 Commission, shamefully joining Kevin McCarthy in attempting to deny the truth, justice, and accountability for this deadly attack on our seat of government. And just minutes ago, 175 Republicans in the House…

The January 6 Commission

  John — The day before the certification of the Electoral College results on January 6, I warned against a “wildly anti-democratic moment we will witness on the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives tomorrow.” I was referring to the Republican objectors who would violate their o…

The gun liability shield

  John — There’s a billion-dollar industry in America that enjoys a legal liability shield no other industry has — and it’s because they’ve got a powerful lobby that cares more about the money they make than public safety. I’m speaking, of course, about the gun industry. Thanks to the…

Sec. Deb Haaland’s congressional seat

  John — Just four days ago, House Republicans purged Liz Cheney from their leadership for refusing to go along with Donald Trump’s Big Lie about the 2020 election. Their strategy going forward is clear: embrace Trump and his lies, no matter what the cost, and use him to win elections…

I’m concerned:

  John — Just two days ago, House Republicans voted to remove Liz Cheney from their leadership. Why? Because she dared to tell the truth and stood up to Trump’s Big Lie. Now, they are replacing Cheney with someone with less devotion to the truth. A Trump sycophant who not only defende…

Liz Cheney

  John — House Republicans just successfully forced a vote to oust Liz Cheney from their leadership. Why? Because she had the courage to tell the truth. Listen, I don't agree with Liz on much when it comes to policy, and she defended Trump for far too long. But at least she reached th…

re: Matt Gaetz

  John — Last night, Republicans Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene took their traveling political circus to Florida — and that’s where Gaetz said this: “My least favorite member of Congress...that goes to Adam Schiff. This guy, just, the lies just pour out of him.” He didn’t stop…

McConnell’s sinister plan

    John — Mitch McConnell is using the same damaging playbook as 2010: McConnell, 2010: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” McConnell, Wednesday: “100% of my focus is on stopping this new administration.” T…

re: filibuster

Humbly asking

  John — We’re short on time before our fundraising deadline at midnight, so I’ll make this quick. Two weeks ago, House Republicans’ joint fundraising committee reported raising $21 million in just the first three months of the year. That’s a staggering sum of money, and with just a s…

Let no Republican lie go unchallenged

  John — Donald Trump isn’t tweeting conspiracy theories to his tens of millions of followers anymore, but his Big Lie about the 2020 election is still infecting and afflicting his Republican base. A staggering 55% of Republicans still believe Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was st…

Before President Biden’s address to our joint session of Congress

Caitlyn Jenner and Gavin Newsom

D.C. Statehood

  John — At the time of the American Revolution, “No taxation without representation” was one of the principal rallying cries. And yet 250 years later, more than 700,000 Americans live in Washington, D.C., where they pay taxes but still lack full voting representation in Congress. Tod…

George Floyd

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…

voter suppression
