SIGN ON: Middle class families shouldn’t bear the cost of billionaire tax breaks

John—Here’s what’s really going on with the government shutdown: Democrats like Tammy are working to protect middle class families from seeing their health care costs skyrocket in just a matter of weeks. Republicans are refusing to negotiate. They won't even lift a finger to help prevent…

Checking in with my supporters before the weekend

John, I wanted to check in and give you a quick update before the weekend. With just days to go before our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline, we are not on track to meet our goals. While Donald Trump and his enablers are wreaking havoc across the country, invading our cities and threaten…

We’ll get straight to the point: Hey John, it’s Jon Ossoff. I’m reaching out to supporters of Senator Duckworth to respectfully ask: Can you split a donation of $5 to my reelection campaign and Tammy Duckworth today before our FEC deadline? Sorry to be so direct, but winning in 2026 is our …

Thank you, John.

Let’s rename all of the Departments after what Trump is inflicting on America:

This is not normal. This is not acceptable behavior.

But I’m not surprised by the awful tactics of a draft dodger. Tammy Duckworth here. I wanted to make sure you’ve seen this: Let's make it clear: The President of the United States essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation. This is not normal. This is not acceptable b…

This is not work one can do alone

We’re more than halfway through this year, and John, it’s no secret that Democrats’ fundraising has taken a dip since last year’s election. It’s critical that we don’t become complacent. We have to demonstrate that people are pushing back against Donald Trump’s assault on our economy, free…

Chicago doesn’t need to be saved by Donald Trump

I went to war and was federalized as a member of the National Guard to defend America’s freedoms, so you better believe I’m going to speak out about this. John, It should come as no surprise that Donald Trump is once again attacking Chicago. After LA and DC, Trump wants to send in troops t…

Less than a week, John

Small-dollar online donors are the backbone of Tammy Duckworth’s campaign. We are proud of that fact -- but it does mean that we have to work extra hard to hit our fundraising goals. So with less than a week to go before our August fundraising deadline, we have two choices: either we gene…

We’re in the middle of a slog John, I’ll be honest: We’re in the middle of a slog. It’s not an easy time for this country. As Donald Trump and Republican extremists ramp up their attacks on our democracy and economy, it’s easy to want to just tune out. Our fundraising numbers are down acr…

This is personal

Donald Trump lied. Again. I know, John. Donald Trump lying is unfortunately not news to you or me, but this time, it’s personal. Trump promised on the campaign trail to expand access to in vitro fertilization (IVF), but now, he’s not following through. He never had a plan to get it done. …
