Wisconsin Republicans are trying to ban abortions after 14 weeks of pregnancy.

Friends, Not even a week after what would have been the 51st anniversary of Roe, Wisconsin Republicans continue their attempts to steal reproductive rights from Wisconsin women. That’s right. Wisconsin Republicans are trying to ban abortions after 14 weeks of pregnancy. This bill blatantly…

Sinema/Lake:

Kari Lake is running for Senate with the full backing of not only the far-right and the MAGA-right, but of the Senate GOP and establishment Republicans around the country. Mandela Barnes and The Long Run are proud to endorse Ruben Gallego for Senate. Ruben is taking on Krysten Sinema in Ari…

Today is a reminder that we all need to remain steadfast and determined in our fight to restore abortion rights

Friends, Roe v. Wade was decided 51 years ago today. It was a monumental day in our nation's history when the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that women had a right to choose. But in June of 2022, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court overturned Roe and robbed reproductive…

Uphill battle

Hi folks, Senator Tammy Baldwin here with a quick update on my campaign: Last month, Senate Republicans confirmed that Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked candidate, Eric Hovde, WILL enter the race for Wisconsin’s Senate seat. Hovde is a right-wing megamillionaire who has pledged to spend at least $…

new poll just released →

I'll cut right to it, friend: A brand-new poll shows us just 2 points behind Ted Cruz - a statistical TIE! This comes after Inside Elections upgraded Texas from a "solid Republican" seat to a "Battleground," and CNN called Ted Cruz the most vulnerable Republican in the country! It couldn't be…

Nothing is off the table during a Trump Presidency

Friends, Last night, Donald Trump unsurprisingly won the coveted and critical Iowa Caucus by a landslide. This shows us a few things: Donald Trump is the most likely Republican nominee. Our democracy continues to be in danger of MAGA extremists. The fight to protect the White House is on. …

Republicans will do everything they can to disqualify votes this November

Team, Yesterday, a Wisconsin judge ruled the use of mobile absentee voting sites is illegal — siding with Republicans who opposed the use of a voting van arguing it increased chances of voter fraud and was used to bolster Democratic turnout. We’ll be clear: This lawsuit was nothing but anot…

This is HUGE

No matter who the GOP nominates for President — twice-impeached, can-barely-even-count-how-many-times-indicted Donald Trump, or one of his enablers — it’s clear that the Republican party has chosen a path of dangerous extremism and is spreading it up and down the ballot and across the count…
