I’ll be blunt, John

This isn’t the time to be complacent. I’ll be blunt, John: After a strong finish in 2022, donations have been down for the first few months of the new year. Democrats grew our majority in the Senate, but this isn’t the time to be complacent. The GOP are working around the clock to undo our gains…

The GOP’s dangerous new gun bill

We should be working for public safety — not catering to the gun lobby. John, As Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I oversaw hearings on the impact of the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision — a ruling that has unleashed pure chaos with regards to our gun laws. The GOP’s response? New legislat…

this will only take a minute, John
