Just another reason this budget is BS

  Need another reason to despise Republicans’ Big BS Bill? This one is big: this bill threatens over 90,000 jobs nationwide, including thousands of jobs here in Arizona. Here’s how: The clean energy tax credits that were baked into the Inflation Reduction Act allowed for clean energ…

Stop the steal 🌄

  Public lands should be for public use, John. But Donald Trump and the GOP want to sell places like THIS off to Big Oil’s highest bidder: Places like Kaibab National Forest should be for the public to enjoy, not for Big Oil and developers to destroy. We're so thankful this provisi…

Another red eye

  Another long week ahead, another flight back to DC from the west, John. This past week was a hard one, I won’t lie. From the assault on a Senator rightfully demanding answers from this administration’s Secretary of Homeland Security, to the heartbreaking assassination of Melissa …

This is personal.

  John — Three years ago today, the landscape of protections for reproductive care and abortion access was fundamentally changed by the Dobbs decision. A right-wing majority on the U.S. Supreme Court overturned decades of precedent that protected access to care nationwide, and, in t…

Laura Loomer just attacked me.

  John — Right-wing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer just attacked me on X. 👆 This was Laura Loomer’s disturbing and downright racist response after I called her out for her disgusting hate speech calling for mass deportations of Muslim immigrants. John, I was born in Seattle to US…

Another endless war is not the answer.

  John, Yesterday, Donald Trump confirmed that the United States carried out strikes on three Iranian military facilities. The Trump administration illegally took military action without congressional authorization, risking dragging us into another never-ending war. These actions wi…

With a B.

I refuse to sit by silently.   Billions, John. With a B. That’s how much Big Oil spent to buy a president and a Republican majority willing to sell our environment to them. And that’s how much taxpayers have paid to subsidize non-renewable energy sources all while we deal with more e…

Beth, Vicki, Richard, and John

We want to let you in on a secret.   John, Yassamin doesn’t take corporate money. We’re serious: unlike some members of Congress who accept millions of dollars from corporate donors, this team is fueled by $5 from Beth in Phoenix, $10 from Vicki in Glendale, and $35 from Richard in M…

As the first openly trans member of Congress, I knew there would be times like this

I’ve never felt alone because I have people like you standing with me.   Hi John, it’s Congresswoman Sarah McBride.  Right now, the GOP is using LGBTQ+ people as pawns. They’re not offering solutions to make everyone's lives better. Instead, they’re busy launching attacks — on our r…

Mid-month update

  Hi John, I hope this message finds you well. I want you to know that I’m deeply grateful for your support, and I don’t take it for granted. The past few weeks in Congress have been challenging and full of important work. It’s already been an incredibly hectic month, but my team an…

Full-blown authoritarianism

  John, While the National Guard’s guns are trained on American citizens in Los Angeles, California Senator Alex Padilla was just forcibly and violently removed from an LA press conference for simply trying to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question. He was forcefully…

Red eye

  Hi John, I wanted to show you something: This is me on my red eye flight from Phoenix back to DC this weekend. While I was back home in Arizona, I held a town hall to listen to Arizonans’ concerns about Republican cuts to health care and education, attacks on immigrants and trans…
