This is awesome.

  Hey John! We just crunched the numbers, and since you are a critical member of our team, we wanted you to be the first to know: $16. That’s the average amount people are contributing to our campaign this month. Wow. Here’s why it’s so important: These $16 donations are how we’ve bee…

re: the census

  John, This month, the Census Bureau released its 2020 data and set Republicans into a frenzy to redraw the district maps and attempt to gerrymander Democrats out of the House majority. Perhaps permanently. They see how we’ve passed the For the People Act in the House to get the corr…

A little bit more than usual

  John, I know it’s Saturday but I wouldn’t be reaching out unless it was important. So I’ll keep it brief: Our end-of-month fundraising deadline is three days away. And we aren’t where we need to be for the month fundraising-wise. Can you pitch in right now to help us make up lost gr…

219-212

  John, Republicans and right-wing groups like the Heritage Foundation are generating a coordinated wave of anti-democratic, Jim Crow voter suppression bills across the country. In 49 states, Republicans have introduced voter suppression bills sitting in their state legislative chambe…

Fwd: Can I please have a chance to explain?

  John — I wanted to make sure you saw Gov. Newsom’s note yesterday. The Republican-led California recall is coming down to the wire, and every single donation to stave off the GOP takeover is making a difference in these critical last few weeks. If you’re able to pitch in any amount …

Can I please have a chance to explain?

  John, Adam asked me to reach out to you one more time because time is running out before ballots are counted here for the California recall and it’s going to come down to the wire. In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to the campaign to defeat this partisa…

re: saving democracy

  John, Donald Trump demonstrated that our democracy is only as strong as the people elected to preserve it. And in the case of the GOP, that meant not very strong at all. He set a dangerous new precedent for Republican lawmakers. He gave them permission to lie. To embrace conspiracie…

Marco Rubio

  John — Adam Schiff and I stood shoulder to shoulder holding Donald Trump to account in his first impeachment trial. For years, we’ve fought for gun reform, health care, and voting rights in Congress – despite constant opposition from Trump Republicans like Marco Rubio. I’ve seen fi…

Yet another Louis DeJoy story

  John — surprise surprise! There’s another story breaking in the Washington Post about Trump’s handpicked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and his financial conflicts of interest: “Louis DeJoy bought up to $300,000 of bonds from USPS Board Chair Ron Bloom’s investment firm” —Washington…

Louis DeJoy’s recent headline

  John, Republican megadonor and Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, is making headlines...again. Not only is he under FBI investigation already, but the Washington Post just reported that the United States Postal Service signed a $120 million, five-year contract with…

If Trump runs again

  John, In Republican Party politics, money talks — and Donald Trump remains the loudest of them all. The New York Times just reported that Trump has a whopping $100 million in his campaign war chest. But we won’t waste time speculating whether he’s going to make another run at the pr…

Hey John

  Hey John — I don’t want to take much of your time, so I’ll keep this short. In just a few hours, we’ll hit the exact midway point of the FEC fundraising quarter. Republican fundraising is off the charts — $100 million for Trump, $58 million for Senate Republicans, and millions upon …

Friday the 13th

  John, It’s Friday the 13th, and across the country a nightmare is playing out for voting rights and for our democracy. Yesterday, the Texas Republicans passed another disgraceful voter suppression bill. And the day before that, their GOP House Speaker signed arrest warrants for 52 D…

Please give me a chance to explain

  John, It’s crunch time. In less than a week, millions of ballots will be mailed out for the Republican recall vote in California. And in just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a $5 contribution to help me defeat this partisan, Republican recall. But today’s request is not an …

A looming deadline for the next decade of our democracy

    1965 Voting Rights Act Anniversary Congress has days to act before the U.S. Census Bureau’s redistricting data will be released, with states like Texas, Ohio, and North Carolina expected to conduct an aggressive gerrymander this year. Add your name to my urgent petition d…

re: eviction moratorium

  John — Today, 3.6 million Americans woke up facing eviction. Because Republicans in Congress uniformly opposed an extension. The federal eviction moratorium has been a lifeline for millions of people who have been laid off or had their businesses closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.…

hey

  Hey — I’ll keep this really short. In just a few hours, we’re hitting our end of the month fundraising deadline. We’re still short and have some ground to make up. Every dollar we don’t raise is a dollar we can’t use for efforts like helping vulnerable members of Congress, shoring u…

The crises we face.

Closing the gap

  John, This is important — House Republicans have an almost $10 million cash advantage over Democrats in the first six months of 2021 in the race for the House majority. With less than 48 hours until our end of month fundraising deadline — will you pitch in $10 right now to help clos…

Relentless.

  John — When you stand up for decency, for truth, and for our democracy – a fire-hose of right-wing disinformation seems to follow. Tucker Carlson went after my character. Sean Hannity referred to me as “the congenital liar.” Rudy Giuliani called me a liar – pot calling the kettle bl…

We will remember

  John, Over the past seven months, we’ve accomplished so much in the face of all-out Republican obstructionism by Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy. We passed the American Rescue Plan Act which increased the monthly Child Tax Credit up to $300 per child, expanded health care coverag…

Billionaires in space

Nightmare

  John, as you may have seen, today was a busy day. But I’m not emailing about that. I’m emailing about the state of our democracy, and where we go from here. The GOP has fully succumbed to the takeover of their party by the former president, to his lies, and to his cult of personalit…

please give me a chance to explain

Add your name: Protect DACA

We need to make a statement

A strong response

I wish we hadn’t been right about this:

  During the first impeachment, we chose our words about Donald Trump carefully, knowing that history would be our judge. We said it for the Senate and the world to hear: "He has compromised our elections, and he will do so again. You will not change him. You cannot constrain him. He …

Texas Democrats

What is at stake:

re: Trump’s speech at CPAC attacked Adam

QAnon is targeting Adam. Again.

You won’t believe this. Seriously.

  "18 more months of chaos and the inability to get stuff done, that's what we want.” — Texas GOP Congressman Chip Roy That is how Republicans are talking about their “jobs” behind closed doors — these latest comments were captured on a hidden camera just a week ago. It’s insidious. I…

Investigating Jan. 6

Personally asking —

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…

Our 5-seat House majority

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