My thoughts on yesterday’s inauguration

John — Yesterday, I sat in the Rotunda during Trump’s inauguration, and I have some thoughts I would like to share with you. As a member of Congress and a defender of our democracy, I had a constitutional function as a co-equal branch of government to listen to all that Trump said yesterday…

You won’t believe what Elon did

John — I am outraged. Within hours of Trump taking office, Trump’s billionaire best friend, Elon Musk, gave what looks like a Nazi Salute at a celebration rally. You read that right, John. The Nazi salute. And not just once, but twice. This kind of hate and extremism has no place in our na…

The road ahead is tough, but we can prevail together

John — Later today, Donald Trump will once again take the oath of office as President, marking a pivotal and uncertain moment for our nation. This is an unpredictable time, and many Americans, myself included, are deeply concerned about what the future holds. However, As part of the peacefu…

3 days

John — In just 3 days, Donald Trump will become the President of the United States. This is not the outcome we had hoped for and I understand that you may be terrified of what the future holds. But as we approach the inauguration, it's important that we be ready to defend our democracy as m…

Trump’s loyalty purge begins

John — Trump officials have begun a crusade to wipe out any potential dissent in the National Security Council. Yes, the same National Security Council that my twin brother Alex and I served on when we blew the whistle on Trump over 5 years ago. We’ve already seen Donald Trump fill his cab…

Pete Hegseth

John — Donald Trump’s choice for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing just wrapped, and here is our main takeaway: Pete Hegseth is unfit to serve as our country’s defense secretary. If you agree, please add your name to our petition to call on the Senate to reject Pete Heg…

Eugene needs to know you have his back

John — Last week, Eugene was sworn in as a member of Congress. So as he begins his work fighting for you and American families across the country, we have a simple ask of you: Will you add your name to personally endorse Eugene and tell him you have his back? ENDORSE EUGENE Many of us know …

January 6th was a wake-up call — and I’m answering it.

I’m not afraid to face MAGA extremism head-on and hold the truth to power—but I need you by my side. John, Four years ago, our nation watched in horror as violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. January 6th wasn’t just an attack on a building—it was an assault on democracy itself. Do…

It’s time to get to work

John, Earlier today, I was sworn in as a member of Congress and took my oath to serve my community, my state, and our great nation. Today, my work representing the people of Virginia’s 7th District begins. It’s not going to be easy. These next few years will be challenging, but I am ready t…

Tulsi Gabbard is a threat to our national security

John, it’s Eugene. I want to make sure you saw my email from last week. Tulsi Gabbard is a danger to our democracy, and her appointment to director of national intelligence is irresponsible and dangerous to our national security and the future of our democracy. Before Senate confirmation h…

We wanted to bump this important update to the top of your inbox. Donald Trump isn’t even in the Oval Office yet, and Elon Musk — the richest man in the world and one of Trump’s most influential advisors — is putting a target on Alex and Eugene. They know that Eugene has no fear of speaki…

Elon Musk just attacked Eugene and me

Elon Musk just accused me (and Eugene) of treason. He’s threatened us directly, John. My family is no stranger to attacks, but this is an outrageously false claim. Musk — the richest person in the world — is using his large media platform to fuel lies and peddle conspiracies about us beca…

Tulsi Gabbard is a danger to our democracy

John, Over the past few weeks, we have seen Trump appoint several irresponsible and unqualified people to serve in his cabinet. Many of his choices concern me and risk the future of our democracy, and Tulsi Gabbard is at the top of that list. Trump tapped Gabbard as the director of national…

All eyes on CA-13

John, Currently, Republicans have a slim House majority that's shrinking with Trump’s cabinet picks, and several races are still up in the air — one of which is in California's 13th District. Democrat Adam Gray is facing off against his extremist opponent and their race remains locked in a …

I am not afraid to hold power to account, no matter what comes my way.

We can still make a difference in CA-45

John, There are still key pickup opportunities for Democrats that remain too close to call. Right now, Democrat Derek Tran in CA-45 is just 58 votes shy of taking the lead over his extreme, anti-choice opponent – with thousands of ballots yet to count. There are still ballots to be counted,…
