It’s fiscally irresponsible and morally wrong.

House Republicans just passed the one “one big beautiful bill” that Trump demanded. House Republicans just passed the one “one big beautiful bill” that Trump demanded. Except it won’t be beautiful for the middle class or for America. Instead, their big, ugly bill explodes the deficit and m…

I need a partner in the Senate that I can trust.

About last week’s email

John, recently, we asked you to pitch in to help Tammy hit her mid-month fundraising goal. We know you get a lot of emails from us, so today we want to explain why these goals are so important. We set these benchmarks to ensure that Tammy has the resources she needs to keep her focus on ad…

We must demand answers about the costs and security risks of Qatar’s $400 million Trump Force One. Please add your name to mine.

John, By now you’ve heard how the Qatari Royal Family is attempting to bribe Donald Trump with a $400 million luxury jet — not for the benefit of the American people but for his personal use even after he leaves the White House. He is gaslighting the American people by saying this luxury j…

National security nightmare

Trump is planning to accept a “gifted” luxury jet from the very same people he criticized for bankrolling terrorism “at a very high level.” The corruption and hypocrisy here is shocking, John. During his first term, Trump called out Qatar–a known ally of Russia and China–for “funding of Ra…

These jokers keep failing up

It just keeps getting worse John, the more we learn about Pete Hegseth and Mike Waltz’s incompetence, the worse it gets. New reports from the Wall Street Journal confirm Hegseth repeatedly performed official business over Signal in over a dozen group chats on an unsecured line and his perso…

Happy Mother’s Day

In 2020, I said that American moms are running on empty. We were waking up every morning feeling guilty that we weren’t doing enough, and we were going to sleep every night terrified that we were somehow failing our children. That was during the worst of the COVID pandemic, when I was try…

Roger Stone just called for me to be charged with treason and executed.

My conversation with Jake Tapper

John, earlier this week I spoke with Jake Tapper on CNN about Donald Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE’s sloppy cuts to our government. They are a disaster for Veterans and slap in the face to all who were brave enough to have served. Trump and Musk fired thousands of Veterans across the governme…

It’s not working

John, Last week, we closed the books on Trump’s first 100 days in office. In just this first milestone of his Administration, Trump has purged thousands of Department of Veterans Affairs workers, elevated unqualified loyalists to the highest levels of the federal government and started an …

Have you received your invitation?

Let’s call it what it is: blatant corruption John, this is too important not to share: Donald Trump is inviting the top 220 holders of his $TRUMP memecoin to dinner at his golf course later this month. What’s worse is that he’s promising private time and a VIP White House tour to the top 25…

Pete Hegseth needs to RESIGN

If Pete Hegseth stays in the job he is going to get good people killed. John, there are all sorts of people in the United States military. They come from all walks of life. Some come from wealthy families, some didn’t come from much at all. Some are first generation immigrants, some are indi…

Not the news we wanted to share

Trump’s tariffs

Hi John, We need to talk about Trump’s tariffs. Economists agree that Trump’s hackjob plan is a disaster. He’s putting his ego over the economy, destroying decades of growth in the process. Make no mistake: Trump has no plan to help families in Illinois or across the country make ends me…
