Wishing you a safe and happy Hanukkah

We’re celebrating apart - but it doesn’t change our hope for the season. Happy Hanukkah, John! Tonight, and for the next eight nights, we’re wishing the Jewish community across the western U.S. a safe and joyous holiday season. As the holiday begins, our team hopes you enjoy good food…

Make no mistake

The GOP has no plan to address how COVID really impacts Americans. It’s time for action. Make no mistake, John: The out-of-control spread of COVID-19 today comes from months of inaction from Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and Senate Republicans. They preferred scoring cheap political p…

FWD: ACTION NEEDED: COVID relief that puts people first

We can’t afford to waste the time we have left before relief funding runs out. We need you to stand with working families, John: Congress is inching closer and closer to a COVID relief deal that could stop a government shutdown, but Mitch McConnell still refuses to even consider a deal…

ACTION NEEDED: COVID relief that puts people first

We can’t afford to waste the time we have left before relief funding runs out. John, This New Year, American workers and families are facing a future where desperately needed emergency federal funding for unemployment, state and local governments, small businesses, and vaccine distribu…

It’s in Mitch McConnell’s hands... for now.

We can’t wait to law the groundwork. John, Democrats are going into the Biden administration with a smaller House majority and — potentially — with the Senate still firmly in Mitch McConnell’s claw-like hands. (Seriously. What was up with that.) But right now, Americans are facing a pa…

The doorbuster we AREN’T invited to

It’s a last-minute push to give oil companies the deal of a lifetime. There’s one doorbuster sale that definitely won’t be open to the public today, John. It’s the one where Donald Trump and his administration are racing against the clock to steal the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge fr…
