America's rogue king

John, Our founders envisioned a system of checks and balances that would hold a tyrant like King George III accountable. And should that system fail, Congress could remove that rogue king, proving with impeachment that no leader is above the law. And Trump is definitely a rogue king: between…

John: Mike Pence is starting 2020 by hitting the campaign trail. Even worse? According to Politico, he's laying the groundwork to run for President in 2024. While his run is just rumors (right now!), he'll be making campaign stops in swing states with LGBTQ candidates on the ballot. To ring…

$463 million in 2019

Terrible news, John. President Trump and the Republican National Committee raised a combined $463 MILLION in 2019 and according to The Washington Post, have almost $200 million on hand. They're starting the biggest election year of our lifetime with an unrivaled war chest. We need all hands …

THE question – and my answer.

John, Every now and then, someone will ask me: Is Texas is ready to elect an openly LGBTQ Congresswoman? The answer is: Hell yeah, Texas is ready. In 2018, I came up just 926 votes short of flipping TX-23, despite being massively outspent. And in 2020, we’re going to show the country …
