Need to close our November gap tonight

John,   Ever since the 116th Congress was sworn in, the new Democratic House majority has been the GOP’s worst nightmare -- we are working tirelessly to reduce the influence of dark money in our politics, safeguard our elections, and ensure that no one in America is above the law, not even the …

Why the GOP is coming after PA-05

John -- the GOP isn’t happy with the way we’ve been advocating for a stronger democracy and presidential accountability. Trump and his supporters see us as a major threat, so they’re coming after us.   Pennsylvania is going to be critical in the 2020 elections, which means that we can expect ev…
