I refuse to be a pawn.

They want the focus to be on their theatrics so that it won’t be on the issues I laid out in my speech. Hi Friend, it’s Congresswoman Sarah McBride — Mandela Barnes and The Long Run said I could reach out to you about something important. You may have heard that I recently gave my first spe…

“Thousands Across the U.S. Protest Trump Policies”

Team — Donald Trump and Elon Musk are acting like dictators, illegally slashing functions of our federal government and ruling by executive order. And of course, Republicans in Congress refuse to hold them accountable. But we still live in a democracy, and the American people are making th…

Tell Democratic Senators: Vote NO on Trump and Musk’s Nominees

Team — With Elon Musk moving ahead with a radical and illegal takeover of the federal government under Trump’s watch, it’s time for Democrats to use everything we’ve got to stop their agenda. If that’s all you need to hear, sign our petition calling on Democratic Senators to vote NO on any…

$1,000,000,000,000.

Trump made it clear from the start that he’s not going to fight for regular Americans See these guys? They were the VIPs at Trump’s inauguration. Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Pichai. Twitter, Meta, Amazon, and Google. Their combined net worth is almost one trillion dollars. Yes, one trilli…

Will you help me?

I am going to be completely transparent today. $2,750. That's the amount of money we still need to raise in the next 36 hours. Let me quickly explain why: Tomorrow at midnight marks the end of January and our critical end-of-month deadline. By the end of the month, we need to gauge the mom…

He is unfit to serve as the head of our armed forces. Friend, we told you a few weeks ago that there will be moments where we can successfully block Trump’s extremist agenda, and now one of those moments is already here. As you may know, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Fox News h…

Not good…

I named this project The Long Run because I know that real change takes time Friend — Today is January 15th, which means we’re halfway through the first month of 2025. Usually at this point in the month, we’d be at about 40% of our monthly fundraising goal. But so far we’re barely at 20%. T…

Americans are already starting to remember the never-ending clown show that is President Trump

We’re hoping you’ll give us just a minute to ask for your contribution today.

Friend, We didn’t plan to send a message your way today given that it’s New Year’s Eve. But the reason we’re reaching out anyway is because, frankly, we’re behind on our goals and we are just hours away from the close of our final FEC fundraising deadline of the year. The good news is tha…

$5, $10, or $20 at a time from regular folks who wanted to make a difference Friend, a quick thought before tomorrow. The election results last month were a devastating blow for our democracy. Donald Trump’s return to the White House leaves us with many important battles ahead. But in key…

Breaking the cycle

Friend — Donald Trump won Wisconsin last month by about 30,000 votes. It was a close race, and on the same night Tammy Baldwin won her re-election to the Senate by a similarly small margin. That got me thinking — What can we do right now to lay the groundwork for winning those voters back …
