No war for money

The United States of American ought to be a force for international peace — not mercenaries for cash. But Donald Trump has clearly displayed that he views our role in global conflict in a very particular and insidious way: The United States of American ought to be a force for international pe…

Ro’s fighting to elect Bernie Sanders

Ro’s work might not get as much attention as Donald Trump’s actions, but that doesn’t mean it’s less important. From fighting for powerful action on climate, to an Internet Bill of Rights, to leading an international movement for peace, he’s just as worthy of your investment than any Presidential…

Trump froze Ukrainian aid before demanding investigation into Joe Biden

Look, it doesn’t matter what you feel about Joe Biden — it is unacceptable for the President of the United States to convince a foreign power to interfere in our elections. And according to Trump himself, that’s exactly what happened. Look, it doesn’t matter what you feel about Joe Biden — it…

Pete Buttigieg is wrong

For months, Republicans have pushed the narrative that Medicare for All will raise costs and taxes on middle class families. That is flat out wrong. For months, Republicans have pushed the narrative that Medicare for All will raise costs and taxes on middle class families. That is flat out …

50,000 auto workers standing strong

As working families struggle, massive corporations are seeing sky-high profits — but despite that revenue, companies like GM are still closing down plants and trying to slash benefits for their workers. It’s good that someone is drawing a line in the sand, and showing these companies the power of…

Donald Trump is holding high dollar fundraisers right now.

Donald Trump is relying on max-out checks from elite Republicans and corporate special interests who have an economic interest in seeing Trump get reelected. Bernie Sanders and I on the other hand are both running grassroots campaigns with zero support from Super PACs, corporate PACs, or special …

Vicious right-wing attacks against AOC

Thanks for taking the time to read this — I know you’re probably getting a lot of emails about the upcoming debate, from the Presidential campaigns, and all of that activity. I’ll be honest, sometimes it’s hard for us to compete with that kind of attention. We’ve got good news and bad news. …

A bipartisan coalition for peace

Right now, Congress is preparing to pass the 2020 defense budget. There are things that I don’t love about that budget, but right now, we have to direct all of our attention to one critical priority — ensuring my amendment to end support for the Saudi-led coalition is included. We are closer …

We need to withdraw support from the war in Yemen

Our actions have directly enabled human rights abuses, and that’s unconscionable. That’s why I’m leading the call to end our involvement in this conflict and pressure Saudi Arabia to end the bloodshed. But I can’t do it without your help. This week, the United Nations released a report argui…

Where we need to be

Yesterday, Ro was in South Carolina on the front lines of the fight for Medicare for All. He’s not just talking about progressive issues — he’s on the front lines, calling out the massive insurance companies who are funding attack ads against universal health care, and rallying voters for 2020. …

Only $20 million?

Trump has abdicated our position of international leadership. The United States is no longer leading the world on trade, tech, or dealing with climate change. Instead, we’re focusing our efforts on tariffs, appeasing Russia, and decrying the impact of windmills. The lungs of the planet are o…

Digital literacy — it can prevent disasters

In the modern era, the internet has been an incredible good. Even social media has been a net-positive — but our leaders have failed to adequately deal with the bad parts of the online world. Regulation is an adversarial relationship by nature. But how can we expect our leaders to levy the c…

Steve King is fundamentally out of touch with reality

I’m truly disgusted. It has been clear for years that Steve King was unfit for office, and yet, somehow he still finds methods of lowering the bar even further. From his support of white supremacy to his inane defense of a total ban on abortion, Steve King is doing everything in his power to drag…

Trump Administration allows mass Sinclair merger, Sinclair turns around and boosts Trump reelection effort

This is about as brazen as it gets. Using bought-up local stations to pitch Trump campaign merchandise represents the insidious alliance between Sinclair and the Republican Party. When the Sinclair-Tribune merger was up last year, the FCC allowed the incredibly anti-free market deal to go through…
