Congress is back in session. Here’s what I’m working on:

Congress was on recess all of AugustJohn,, but we officially started back in Washington again earlier this week. I thought it would be useful to list my priorities for this session, because you deserve accountability and transparency into what I’m working on. Assault Weapons Ban – I int…

Congress is back in session, and I want to hear from you!

Dear john,   Here in Washington, my colleagues could all use some positive news as we continue our work to serve the American people. All August long, I was uplifted by the phenomenal work and remarkable achievements of the people I met wi…

A note on the Annunciation shooting

John, Last week, we received news about another terrible school shooting, this time affecting the community of Annunciation Catholic Church School in Minneapolis. A former student of the school opened fire into the school’s church, killing two children and injuring 18 other people. I kno…

You deserve better than election deniers

John — Let me walk you through what’s going on in Fulton County. FIRST: Republicans nominated 2 people to the Fulton County Election Board. One, refused to certify the 2024 election. The other has challenged the registrations of tens of thousands of Georgia voters. THEN: Democrats on …

Happy Labor Day!

Hi John, and Happy Labor Day! Today is our opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of the organized labor movement. Everything from workplace safety regulations to the minimum wage have come as a result of union advocacy – and unions are critical to the American economy. We live i…

I’m a reasonable person

Let’s talk about the ongoing redistricting fight. The Republican-held Texas legislature passed new maps that would give Texas FIVE more Republican seats. California led the charge on redrawing their maps to favor Democrats and mitigate the losses from the Texas maps. Now, Trump is sayin…

Blue Wave: imminent

John — Lucy won her seat in the 2018 Blue Wave. She flipped a deep red seat that used to be represented by Newt Gingrich because people were pissed off with Trump, and went out to do something about it. Now, we’re facing something similar. A Blue Wave is coming – so we need to do what…

A quick update before Congress returns to Washington

John, I’m no dummy

John, I’m no dummy. I know that you feel powerless right now. I know that watching the news feels difficult, and it can be easy to tune out. I know that it feels like MAGA has won. But I have to tell you something unpopular: now is the time that we need to double down. Trump is countin…

When Georgians are struggling, where is Brian Kemp?

I am absolutely livid, John. Gov. Brian Kemp announced yesterday that he’s planning to send members of the Georgia National Guard to aid ICE operations. At a time when Georgians are struggling to afford groceries, gas, rent, and childcare, the governor shouldn’t be wasting his time pl…

Where our state falls in the redistricting fight

Hey John, It’s been both an incredibly slow month, and also a non-stop month. Let me explain: Donald Trump has federalized the National Guard and taken control of DC police. He’s continued the redistricting fight, encouraging his MAGA cronies in Texas, Ohio, Missouri, and Indiana to re…

Our democracy is at stake.

After spending the last 2 weeks encouraging his MAGA cronies in Texas, Ohio and Missouri to redraw their Congressional maps to eliminate Democratic seats, now Trump is going after our right to vote itself. It’s a FACT that abolishing mail-in is seen as a way to lower voter turnout. It…

The crisis in DC

This is full-fledged authoritarianism. Donald Trump has never made a secret of his admiration for dictators, publicly lauding people like Kim Jong Un. A few months ago he unleashed the National Guard on LA in his attempts to “take back the city”. Now he’s doing the same in DC, citing …

not to be negative…

Hey John, I don’t want to be negative, but Democrats are going to have to fight as we head into 2026. Republicans have had a lot of victories over the last few months – from passing their billionaire bill, to mass federal layoffs, their agenda has been falling into place. Now I’m hoping …

How Republicans can win the House

We're sounding the alarm, John, because Congressional Republicans are betting that Trump’s big billionaire bill will win them the majority in 2026. We know what we think about this legislation, but Republicans are planning to message on it as a victory, no holds barred. If they’re that …

Republicans can’t seem to leave Georgia’s elections alone, John. FIRST: Trump tried to push his cronies to OVERTURN the 2020 election, where he lost our state. THEN: Republicans literally tried to draw Lucy out of her own district. NOW: Republicans are considering even more changes t…
