Shorter than a tweet

      Dear friend,  I know you're busy, so I'll keep this super short. Our team is still $95 dollars short of our monthly fundraising goal — and we need your help to make up the difference. Will you be the donor who pushes us over the edge? Thanks, Alexa DONATE   …

      Dear friend,  From gutting Medicaid, veterans’ healthcare, and food stamps to dismantling reproductive rights to targeting LGBTQ+ communities, Republicans have steadily raced to the right — and every time they come up with a new extremist policy, it’s working pe…

Our democracy is still on the line

      Dear friend, It's been two and a half years, and still, MAGA Republicans are denying the results of the 2020 election, attempting to rewrite history about January 6th, and trying to strip millions of voters — especially in communities of color — of their right t…

A problem on every front

      Dear friend, Just before Silicon Valley Bank went under, top executives sold their stocks — making millions of dollars — and took six-figure bonuses. This is yet another example of bank executives putting their own personal profits above the bank's stability, an…
