I would defend any conservative’s right to visit Israel.

If you hadn’t seen it, at the urging of Donald Trump, Israel officially barred Representatives Tlaib and Omar ahead of their planned trip — where they had scheduled a variety of visits with both Israeli and Palestinian civic groups. Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are duly-elect…

What will get people out to vote in 2020?

We're building a progressive movement that works for all of us, not just a powerful elite. But I learned a long time ago that you can’t advocate for people if you don’t listen to them first. This campaign is about you. When I’m on Capitol Hill, I’m not fighting for big corporations or wealthy …

Steve King should resign

Steve King is an embarrassment to the halls of Congress. Just today, he gave a speech where he claimed that humanity “would not exist without rape and incest” in an effort to defend his support of a total ban on abortion. Steve King is an embarrassment to the halls of Congress. Just today, he…

What you do with the money Medicare for All would save?

Governing isn’t about doing what’s easy — it’s about doing what’s right. Every day that goes by where one of our neighbors gets sicker because they don’t have access to the basic human right of health care is a moral failing on this nation. Experts have told us that Medicare for All would sav…

Over $500 million spent on lobbyists — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg

Using loopholes and different reporting mechanisms, business groups were able to obscure another $675 million in lobbying intended to undermine your voice in Washington. That’s not how our democracy is meant to operate. We have some concerning news. Recent estimates put 2017 corporate lobbyi…

We don’t want to answer to Raytheon

We want to be accountable to only one interest group: you. Not Raytheon, not Amazon, not Walmart, not Purdue. We’re fighting for the American people, and Ro doesn’t want to give those major corporations even an ounce of special treatment. We’re only two quarters into 2019, but corporate PACs …

The future of rural America

From the beginning, J.D. has been fighting for opportunities for working-class and rural Americans. During a time of incredible economic upheaval, rural communities deserve a champion who will help bring jobs to the small towns that have been left behind. Yesterday, I was ecstatic to learn …

At the border

For millions, America is still a city upon a hill — the representation of hopes and dreams, of safety and opportunity. Those foundational values are under threat right now, and we must never back down from defending them. Congress might be in recess, but that doesn’t mean our work stops. Just…

He wrote the damn bill

Bernie won last night’s debate — but he’s not alone in that victory. Nearly every question that the moderators asked referenced a progressive bill or priority that we, as a movement, have brought to the national stage. Bernie won last night’s debate — but he’s not alone in that victory. Nea…

The only bill that will lower costs and provide every American with better benefits.

On Sunday, Bernie Sanders took a bus with a group of about a dozen people to cross the border to Canada in order to buy insulin at an affordable price -- the cost of insulin in Canada can be 1/10th of the price that it sells for here. On Sunday, Bernie Sanders took a bus with a group of abo…

Will you be the one?

Ro rejects 100% of corporate PAC donations. The vast majority of other campaigns out there don’t. But we want to live our values, because Ro doesn’t want to spend even a single second trying to please some set of big corporate donors — he’s fighting for you. I know you get a fair amount of …

A $15 minimum wage

Democrats have been fighting to raise the minimum wage for nearly a decade. Now, thanks to unapologetically progressive voices and advocates for working-class Americans, we’re closer than we’ve ever been. Just last week, the House passed a bill that Ro proudly cosponsored — the Raise the Wa…

Can you help us lower our average donation?

Thanks all of your help. Really, we wouldn’t be here — and Ro wouldn’t have achieved all of his incredible progressive victories — without people like you stepping up, believing in the movement, and doing your part. Right now, the average person gives $18.14 when they donate to our campaign. …

Our future

Every month, we set a goal for total contributions, because the amount of people who believe in Ro is more important than the amount they can give. It means that the issues we’re fighting for resonate with people across the country. We’ll be honest with you — right now, we’re not where we n…

Trump’s Fire and Fury part 2

These words should shock the conscience of every American. It has never been more clear that Congress needs to reclaim their constitutional powers over war, and that if Trump wants to escalate a war, he has to get through us first. We need to withdraw from Afghanistan, not kill millions of civili…

You’re the bedrock

That’s sincere, since Ro really does care a lot about making sure you’re up to date on everything we’re doing, but today, he’s gotta focus on the other part of his job: fighting for us in Congress. Sorry, but today’s email is coming from me, not Ro. That’s sincere. Ro really does care a lot…

Trump’s unAmerican rally

Crowds don’t start chanting “send her back” for no reason. Donald Trump’s words and policies have incubated a culture of xenophobia and hatred that we must stand against because it violates the very soul of what our nation stands for. Crowds don’t start chanting “send her back” for no reaso…

[Sign your name] No more war

Just last week, Congress officially passed my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would stop President Trump from attacking Iran without Congressional approval — and thanks to our movement, 27 Republicans signed on. Just last week, Congress officially passed my amendmen…

Unbelievable attacks by the President

Yesterday, Donald Trump went on an unAmerican tirade against the #squad — Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — telling all of them to “go back to their countries.” Yesterday, Donald Trump went on an unAmerican tirade against the #squad — Ilhan Omar, Rash…

$69 trillion dollars

As we speak, millions of Americans sit behind bars for marijuana related offenses while investors are making millions off distributing the same substance in the ten states that have legalized it. As we speak, millions of Americans sit behind bars for marijuana related offenses while investo…

Big Pharma greed

Here’s the basic reality: undocumented kids getting coverage isn’t what’s wrong with our system. It’s the fact that Big Pharma can get away with charging massive markups for life-saving drugs, and making the American people shoulder the cost. At the second Democratic debate, every candidate…

How we fund our campaign:

When our campaign has a goal that we haven’t met yet, calling up corporate PACs to close the gap isn’t an option. And that’s by design. Many of my colleagues raise the vast majority of their money from those very same sources — 70, 80, and sometimes even 90%. Their small-dollar donations are few …

The power of progressive policies

For years, progressive movements have been fighting to demand we pay attention to the issues that matter the most: insuring every American, fighting economic inequality, tackling the climate crisis, and more. Did you notice something about the debates this week? Progressive policies dominat…

All thanks to you

That’s why we need a climate debate during the Democratic primary, because this crisis deserves the center stage. Yesterday, I joined activists with the Sunrise Movement during their protest at the DNC. Many of these young kids are the same people who’s advocacy helped catapult the Green New Deal…
