$5 to create a better future

John, When you donate $5 to Tammy Duckworth, know that it goes right toward her work in the Senate to create a better future for you and your loved ones. $5 goes toward Tammy’s efforts to hold the Trump Administration and its incompetent officials—like Pete Hegseth—accountable for their ac…

It’s no secret

John, in a moment, I’m going to ask you to donate to my campaign before our official FEC deadline in two days. But first, let me explain why your contribution, especially right now, is so important. Here’s the deal: On Monday, we close the books on our second official FEC fundraising dea…

A humble request before the weekend

Hi John, we have a humble request before the weekend: Can you please make a $5 contribution to Tammy’s campaign before Monday’s official FEC deadline? We wouldn’t ask if your support didn’t make a difference. The reality is that Monday at midnight, we face an FEC fundraising deadline. What…

"They’ll get over it."

Have you seen this quote? John, have you seen this quote from Punchbowl News? Mitch McConnell just said the quiet part out loud: They are putting tax breaks for billionaires before life-saving programs like Medicaid. They are jamming through a bill gutting Medicaid despite the life-or-deat…

I refuse.

I will always be a soldier, and I’m proud of that. John, I will always be a soldier, and I’m damn proud of that. I am in my position because, like many of you, I was sick and tired of hearing politicians promise to look out for Veterans and their families on the campaign trail—and then aban…

Pete Hegseth must be fired immediately

John, Pete Hegseth is testifying before the Senate today, and I have some important questions about his competency. He put American troops in danger. He can’t guarantee that his communications haven’t been intercepted by Russia or China. He ran military policy out of a group chat! And he’…

About last night

John, did you catch Tammy on TV yesterday? Last night, Tammy was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to talk about the Trump administration’s disrespect of our servicemembers and how to fight back. Tammy is working everyday to make sure the voices of Veterans and working families are he…

Today’s parade in Washington, D.C.

John, I spoke to the Secretary of the Army about today’s parade in Washington, D.C. He said that “you only get to celebrate the 250th birthday of the Army once.” Wouldn’t it better celebrate the 250th birthday of the Army to spend that $30 million on military families’ childcare? Or to s…

The people in power

Here’s the truth: John, here’s the truth: The current people in power care more about themselves than working for the people they serve. They care more about allowing their billionaire buddies to buy another private jet than ensuring our Veterans have access to the benefits they have earne…

Trump fired thousands of Veterans to "save money" but wants taxpayers to spend millions for a military parade on his birthday.

It is ridiculous and disgraceful. John, Donald Trump wants the American taxpayers to spend $45 million for a military parade for his birthday. This is what dictators do, and it’s disgraceful. Trump tried to demand a military parade in his honor during his first term, but the American people…

We missed our goal, and the timing is not great

Fundraising slowed down right around Trump’s 100th day, and that’s troubling. John, We’ll keep this quick, but we have an important update about last Saturday’s deadline. The truth is we missed our goal, and we need to work to make up the difference. Can you please rush a donation to suppo…

Today. Not next week. Not next month.

John, Today. Not next week. Not next month. Today is the day I need you to donate to support my work in the U.S. Senate. As Donald Trump and his enablers do everything they can to enact their radical Project 2025 agenda, I am doing what I can to defend our democracy from their extreme righ…

It’s fiscally irresponsible and morally wrong.

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…
