it’s almost time to tune back in.

  John, it’s almost time to tune back in. In 2025 Donald Trump will become President, and it’s our job to stand in his way at every turn. But, there are also elections where we can have an impact on people’s lives. Next year, there are State Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania…

Voter restriction laws are undemocratic

  John, this past election cycle was the first with dozens of new voter restrictions. The numbers prove that these laws disproportionately affect Black and brown communities. There are about a hundred ways to make voting less accessible, and Republicans exploit every single one.…

📩SURVEY ENCLOSED FOR John

the moment we’ve truly lost

  John, Today is officially the last mid-month deadline of 2024. That means we have just two deadlines to go for the year, just two chances to arm ourselves with the resources to fight back against MAGA extremism. Maybe a couple of times since the election, you’ve felt helpless,…

Elon Musk is dangerous

  Donald Trump is flooding our government with incompetent and unprincipled appointees. Among the least qualified is Elon Musk. Elon Musk has no government experience, but promises to overhaul our federal government. Spoiler alert, the “efficiency” he claims to want is code for s…

it’s time to reform the Supreme Court

I believe in the power of reading.

Trump’s path to a second presidency runs through Georgia
