No food. No water. This is a war crime.

John, The Israeli government is using mass starvation as a weapon of war — and the U.S. is funding it. That’s why Rashida Tlaib just led a letter demanding that the Trump administration immediately end U.S. complicity in Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon of war. The Israeli govern…

This is dangerous. Ilhan needs us—now.

John, this is unacceptable. An incumbent Republican Congressman just unleashed a vile, Islamophobic smear against Ilhan—calling her a terrorist in broad daylight: And this isn’t even the first time he has spewed his violent bigotry. He has attacked Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib with Islam…

Help Texas recover from deadly flooding

If you’re in a position to do so, please give what you can. John, Over the weekend, communities across Texas were devastated by extreme flooding that tragically took at least 104 lives — including those of multiple children and counselors at Camp Mystic — destroyed homes, and displaced fam…

If the White House doesn’t want ICE to be compared to a terrorist force, they should stop acting like one.

Let me be clear: I will not be intimidated. John, I went on CNN to tell the truth about ICE: They’re acting like a terrorist force, with masked men jumping out of unmarked cars to kidnap, detain, and disappear people without explanation. It’s unconstitutional, illegal, and they’re terrori…

MAGA’s $450 million migrant prison: “Alligator Alcatraz”

John, Republicans built a $450 million prison camp for immigrants in just 8 days. They’re calling it “Alligator Alcatraz.” Let’s call this what it is: a modern-day concentration camp for migrants. They raided FEMA funds to build it, money meant to protect people in crisis. Caged cells a…

This budget hurts poor & working-class people to benefit millionaires, billionaires, and ICE

We need to ensure every voter knows Republicans threw them under the bus with this budget. They did it, John. Republicans barely but successfully passed their budget bill in both the Senate and now the House, sending it to Donald Trump’s desk for signature. This is the largest wealth tran…

The largest Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP cuts in history

John, Yesterday, the Senate narrowly passed Donald Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” in a 50-50 vote with JD Vance serving as the tie-breaker. Now, it’s being considered in the House as we speak. We can’t emphasize enough just how devastating this budget would be for working families and communiti…

Kirsten Gillibrand should resign.

This behavior isn’t acceptable from a so-called Democratic member of the U.S. Senate. John, Yesterday, Democratic U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand went on an Islamophobic rant against New York City’s Democratic nominee for mayor, Zohran Mamdani. This is just the latest in a flurry of vile…

It’s time for Congress to Block the Bombs.

Here’s how we are leading the push. John, I just introduced H.R. 3565 — the Block the Bombs Act — a bold step to end the U.S.’s complicity in the ongoing atrocities in Gaza. This historic legislation would block Trump, and any future president, from sending the most lethal offensive bombs…
