Two words:

Dishonor versus dignity Dishonor versus dignity. Two words that mean a lot to us over here, John. And in a lot of ways, two words that define the election this year. On one hand, we have a man who knows the sacrifices Military Families make. A man who has sent a child to war in service to a g…

Take the fight to DC

Speaker Johnson CONTINUES to drag his feet, refusing to take up a bill that supports Ukraine and would help them continue the fight against Putin. John: We all saw Speaker Johnson last night. We’re not going to make you look at him again today. Couldn’t clap for anything. Not for our democracy…

Here we go again.

Trump’s back — and it is on us to stop him. The guy who called fallen American heroes “suckers” and “losers” is officially the Republican nominee for President. The guy who plans to eviscerate career public servants at all levels of the federal government and replace them with political loyal…

Ruben Gallego

Battles are won and lost before they’re ever fought. John: Battles are won and lost before they’re ever fought. We know that. It’s why we got in early and endorsed Ruben Gallego last year, and why we’ve been supporting him for years. A lot of people stayed on the sidelines until now. Not us. B…

John, where can we send your new hat?

Conservatives do not have a monopoly on patriotism, and Veteran is not synonymous with Republican. John, Right around this time last year, we released the VoteVets hat. We put it out because we were sick and tired of far-right radicals and MAGA extremists hiding behind so-called “pro-America” …

Attacks on IVF target wounded Veterans, too

If you, a family member, or a friend are a Veteran and have used IVF, we want to hear from you. We need your help, John. We’ve seen some disgusting stuff from the GOP in our day. But their effort to restrict IVF as part of the broader campaign to ban abortion and restrict the ability of servi…

IVF + Senator Duckworth

We’re doubling down to make sure every extremist Republican who would restrict care that Veterans depend on to have families is defeated. Full stop. John, there’s a reason it was Senator Tammy Duckworth who introduced the bill to protect IVF in the Senate. It’s because Senator Duckworth has us…

The looming threat

Putin will not stop. If he succeeds in conquering Ukraine he will move on to the Baltic States, Finland, Poland. NATO states. For 75 years, NATO has kept the peace. It was a peace brokered by strength — by a mutual commitment between European and American democracies to defend one another. Not…
