Trump is out. President Biden is in.

  John xxxxxx, Today is Inauguration Day, and Joe Biden was just sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. Kamala Harris just became the first woman and woman of color to be sworn in as Vice President. It’s history in the making, and long overdue. Trump is out of office. Bu…

Honoring Dr. King’s legacy and keeping up the fight

  John xxxxxx, Today is Martin Luthing King Jr. Day, a time we set aside to honor Dr. King’s fight for civil rights and work to eradicate poverty in the United States. I ran for public office to provide for the poor and fight for liberty and justice for all, so I cherish this day as a…

We impeached Trump (again). Now the Senate must convict.

  John xxxxxx, Yesterday, the U.S. House officially voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump. Again. This is not a joyous occasion to celebrate. It’s a deeply disappointing and shameful moment in our country’s history to have a president so corrupt, so lawless, so unfit for office t…

“Donald Trump is a living, breathing impeachable offense.”

  Big update, John xxxxxx: Today, the U.S. House will vote on Democrats’ resolution to impeach President Donald J. Trump for incitement of insurrection. Hakeem said it best: “Donald Trump is a living, breathing impeachable offense.” It’s time we remove him from office before h…

Add Your Name: Urge Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment

  John xxxxxx, Yesterday, I told you about House Democrats’ resolution to impeach President Trump for inciting the violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday. But our efforts to remove this dangerous man from office don’t stop there. Tonight, I’m joining my Democratic col…

Add your name to hold Trump accountable for his violent insurrection

  John xxxxxx, I’ve taken the past few days to pause and reflect on the disturbing events that took place here in the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday, and where we go from here. Make no mistake: what we witnessed was a violent insurrection and attempted coup by QAnon supporters, Proud Boy…

  This is it, John xxxxxx: tomorrow is Election Day in Georgia, giving us just one day left to get out the vote in support of Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock so we can take back the Senate. And it couldn’t come a moment too soon. Over the past two weeks, we’ve witnessed …

  Hey John xxxxxx, This is the last time you’ll hear from me in 2020, and I’ll keep it short so you can get back to enjoying New Year’s Eve. Look, tonight is our final fundraising deadline of the year, and since the November election passed, energy has really died down. I understand: …
